This is
precisely my point. It's not that all British TV is bad - I fucking
love Masterchef and the 'Cancer-addled black lesbian paraplegic holistic paedeatrician' phase of X idols - but Brooker perpetuates this rizla-thin notion that British people are somehow above the voyeuristic terrors of American TV, and yet the PRIME MINISTER has just 'led tributes' to a dead nonsense. Programmes about gardening, nature documentaries (oodles of them are made by the BBC and farmed out internationally), parochial soap operas we're good at. But Brooker is just... the Paul Morley of Charlie Brooker's house.
Herr Rail - Aye.
