Charlie Brooker explores the gulf between real life and television. From Blind Date to rom-coms, TV has warped our expectations of romance, but do 'soulmates' even exist?
I remeber watching this the night it aired back in 2011 & thinking it was one of the greatest pieces of tv/comedy i'd seen. 11 years later & I still think that, gets better every time I revisit it.
Breaking up with someone through any other way than face to face is indecent, disrespectful and extremely cowardly, unless the other deserved it (he/she cheated on you) or if it's a long distance relationship.
Excellent show. There are so many misconceptions about how human relationships operate, and too often they are perpetuated for profit by the unscrupulous. I think there should be some sort of education about it integrated into mandatory curriculums.
"He's in the bravery room."
Beautiful.
04:49 - 05:47. One of the best written minutes of T.V. I have seen, It's beautiful.
"Playing keyboards for Depesche Mode"

This has made me hate the idea of "love".
Thanks Charlie.
That song is made of nothing but epic win

4.50 - 5.47 is truly epic - especially with the music - I expected it to end with Charlie mowing down crowds of people with an AK-47....
the breaking up part is way too real, it sucks getting dumped!
Man, 3 episodes of this show is a row feels pretty heavy... still, damn brilliant!
2 people are simply meant for each other.
Pretty soon, a teen girl group is gonna have a major hit with their "reply" song, "Yeah, Well You're No Fucking Prize, Either!"
"I think that jealousy has nothing to do with caring." THE FUCK IS SHE ON ABOUT?!?
NGF is supposed to last an entire YEAR? That made me feel depressed about my relationship history...
@WalterLiddy
which is good advice in it self.
not many people realize that factoid.
I thought the news segment was real at first
@joetheplumber22 Except this show doesn't really offer any advice. It just says the advice you get on tv is crap.
Nice one Charlie!
...So how you getting on with Konnie? :D
On watching this again I wondered if Charlie and Konnie sit down and watch this together when they're having problems.
What is the music at 4:51? It sounds so awesome, just like Charlie.
Thanks man!
2:38 - 3:28 My mind has just been blown...
I think people who are talking about Charlie and Konnie have a. missed the point b. not been in a long term relationship
I thought they were just joking around...
Most of this does not have much to do with TV...
OK, that was... depressing.
I played keyboard for Depesh Mode...
@Denta92
Or you couldn't give a toss what random people on the internet think.
Its sounds like Charlie and Konnies' relationship is on the rocks.
's all-right Charlie. My love for you is deep, manly and strong.
I wish I had a name like Daniel Batta Attatat Patat!
I NEED THAT SONG
I think Charlie might have gone through a bad breakup
Something tells me that Charlie's getting a divorce, or planning for one.
So Charlie, hows Konnie???
@theiceman2288 GOT!
Haha, it makes me laugh, what are you talking about?
@theiceman2288 Oh that won't be a problem. Their relationship is based on sex. :P
I believe that Brooker is something of a tornado in bed.
lol Too bad the network cancelled this show. Or, another network did not pick it up. Hilarious.
looool
For fuck sake, Charlie. It's Doherty.. Doh-her-tee. Not DoCherty. It's an Irish name. Not Scottish.
I'll forgive you anyway, as it is you.
hahhahahaa hipster boy band!
