Oh. My. God. BBC4 is turning Charlie Brooker’s Screen Burn into a TV show! From now on, BBC4 could dedicate its every broadcasting hour to jazz and yoga for the homeless and I wouldn’t say a dicky bird about it. They can now do no wrong.
Forget More4: BBC4 is now the channel. God bless them. God bless them all.

View all postsI’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
