Who needs hate fuelled crack benders when you have THE BROOKER

The man has turned hate into an artform. Says a lot about the state of modern tv that him slagging off the programmes is generally far more entertaining than the programmes themselves

And he loves the Wire - chap

Co-writer of Nathan Barley, writer of TV go Home ( http://www.tvgohome.com/ - check the archives) which made me laugh out loud at work more than I should, and presents Screen Wipe on bbc4 http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcfour/features/screen-wipe.shtml.

Also writes diatribes about the general shiteness of modern life in the Guardian on a Monday (I think).

But most importantly he used to write for PC Zone in the 1990s, when it was ostensibly a magazine about PC games, but was also the funniest thing ever.

Who remembers buying games merely based on PC Zone reviews before there was the Internet...thanks to them I got Carmegeddon and the original Grand Theft Auto (AKA the 2 best games ever).
