Charlie Brooker

did those on BBC so a place to look might be eztv.it
https://eztv.it/shows/430/charlie-brookers-screenwipe/
https://eztv.it/shows/785/charlie-brookers-weekly-wipe/
or even TPB for all his stuff
http://194.71.107.80/search/charlie%20brooker/0/99/0
a fair wee volume or work but going by the dates it's most probably either screen wipe or mostly likely weekly wipe

what i say upstairs (mybe

what i say upstairs (mybe didn't express myself properly)
it wasn't Charlie ... serious documentary about TV was his "How tv ruined your life" ... rest of his work is parody and commentary ..

and "How tv ruined your life" i check to many times .. I gave that as exclusion

was it possibly Alternative 3

was it possibly Alternative 3 or ghost watch? they are mentioned in episode 6.
remember though Alternative 3 was a hoax documentary which was done as a hoot for a serious shows last ever episode.
Ghost watch was also a load of.. fiction as well.
EDIT if it IS alternative 3 then i am getting it as we speak and also a couple of documentaries by people who obviously never realised it was initially an april fool
from it's wiki page

Alternative 3 is a television programme, broadcast once only in the United Kingdom in 1977, and later broadcast in Australia, Canada, and New Zealand, as a fictional hoax, an heir to Orson Welles' radio production of The War of the Worlds. Purporting to be an investigation into the UK's contemporary "brain drain", Alternative 3 uncovered a plan to make the Moon and Mars habitable in the event of climate change and a terminal environmental catastrophe on Earth.

The programme was originally meant to be broadcast on April Fools Day, 1977. While its broadcast was delayed until June 20, the credits explicitly date the film to April 1. Alternative 3 ended with credits for the actors involved in the production and featured interviews with a fictitious American astronaut.

you want these uploaded?

noo

thats all Charlie Brooker .. he is excluded from this quest
i know "How tv ruined your life" backwards .. i watched every episode 20 some times ..

i need documentary as I said in first post .. because i need those clips ... state of decadence /in journalism as we move to commercialized news (I know we are already there, but it gives explanation what journalism should be)
