Logo for Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe - Series 4 - Episode 5

Charlie Brooker takes an irreverent look at all aspects of life on the small screen. He turns his gaze to the state of kids' TV, giving a potted history of the genre and taking a look at psychedelic kids' shows both old and new. Brooker moves on to look at the newer trend for programmes to be made with the help of child psychologists and asks if it is a sinister development. Plus, the reflections of a TV presenter, a poem from Tim Key and the revelation of dark TV tales from behind the scenes.
