    8.4/10(5 votes)

    Before we all plunge into the depths of January despair, it is time to put on your party hat and reflect on 2013 with Charlie Brooker's annual Christmas and New Year shindig. This is a high-octane glance back at a year in which almost nothing happened - apart from meteors, edible horses, cyclists on steroids, insurgents in Mali, fake space monkeys, Splash!, Oscar Pistorius, the Pope resigning, a new Pope, Christopher Dormer, The One Show, Chris Huhne, Gogglebox, Bedtime Live, Thatcher's death, a Beiber backlash, Miley Cyrus, twerking, Dogging Tales, the Castro kidnappings, snooping, Snowden, a royal baby, Your Face Sounds Familiar, Egypt, Godfrey Bloom, the Damian McBride diaries, Diana (the film), GTA V, Sex Box, hurricanes, storms, Russell Brand on Newsnight and an American government shutdown. Joining Charlie to tackle the whole year in one hour will be an array of guests, which is why you do not want to miss it.

    8.3/10(3 votes)

    S6:E1

    Charlie Brooker is back for his annual review of the year to pick over the bones of 2015's news and cultural events. A year which saw the beginning of Corbyn-mania and a Tory majority and the end of Page Three and Cecil the Lion. Tackling the terrifying truth of the past 12 months as well as the more bizarre news stories, TV shows and general phenomena, Charlie's joined by brilliant guests including comedian Doug Stanhope and the ever insightful Philomena Cunk. It is basically like the Queen's speech but funnier, longer and contains adult humour.
