Or, to be accurate, Charlie Brooker's Gameswipe on BBC4

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00n1j8q

Charlie Brooker's cynicism has always chimed with mine, and he's no stranger to the world of gaming.  Well worth a watch if you're a gamer but it does contain strong language if that's an issue.  A superb analysis of past and present games from someone who actually cares.

It's also a funny and insightful rant about the mainstream media's gaming ignorance.

Essential viewing for those who care about gaming.
To stay is death but to flee is life.

Thanks for popinting this out Drummer, Charlie Brooker has long been a favourite of mine both in the press and with his cynical look at the media as well on TV.
Damned, if you do damned if you don't

I downloaded and watched it on iplayer when I went on holiday.  Parts of it were good......
