What happens

Charlie Brooker's Weekly Wipe is a British television review programme created and presented by Charlie Brooker. The programme was an amalgam of the earlier Wipe series, with reviews of current television programmes, news events, games, and films. The programme was commissioned by the BBC in November 2012, with six episodes ordered. It began airing on 31 January 2013, and was broadcast on BBC Two. Two more series followed in 2014 and 2015. A special edition of the show entitled Election Wipe was broadcast on 6 May 2015, the day before the UK general election. In May 2020 a new one-off episode entitled Antiviral Wipe was broadcast, which was filmed in lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
