Charlie Brooker:
The 50-minute long Gameswipe will feature Dom Joly antagonizing hardocore gamers online and contributions from Graham Linehan (co-creator of Father Ted) and Dara O'Briain. Gameswipe will premiere as part of BBC4's forthcoming Electric Revolution season, which takes a look at how technology has shaped our lives over the past 50 years.
"It's good to be doing more 'Wipes' for BBC4. I started my writing career penning video game reviews, so Gameswipe effectively sees me coming full-circle: it's evolution in reverse basically. Expect pixels, joypads, some of the world’s weirdest games, celebrity cameos and the occasional sound effect."
