Eye Spy: Charlie Brooker on Splash!
Charlie Brooker and his Weekly Wipe has set its target on ITV‘s surprise Saturday evening hit Splash!
When it comes to Splash! Charlie Brooker is firmly on the side of the critics who have bashed the series. The celebrity diving series concluded its first run on Saturday evening with a peak audience of over 6 million viewers and a second season renewal.
Splash!’s popularity with viewers has largely been put down to the presence of Olympian Tom Daley – who is present in every episode in tight swimming trunks – rather than its unimpressive line-up of celebrities and presenters.
Sadly the clip below is from the first episode of Charlie Brooker’s Weekly Wipe but it never-the-less savages Splash! in all the right ways. It also means you can watch the episode in full on the BBC iPlayer.
Charlie Brooker’s Weekly Wipe continues tonight at 10pm on BBC Two
