The pleasure of anonymity

Posted on July 24, 2006 | 3 comments |

There's something reassuring about the idea that not many people read your stuff. You have greater freedom of expression, you don't necessarily have to agonise about every single word (only every other one). It's quite nice really.

So I'm a little bit worried to discover that my review of last year's series of Charlie Brooker's Screen Wipe is not only listed on his Wikipedia entry, it's also linked to from the BBC4 Screen Wipe page. Should I have been quite so harsh? Should I have accentuated even more positives?

It's all most upsetting.

    It already has...

    I can cope with one or two people at a time. I'm just worried about deluges. Or 'very important people' (other than those assembled here already, of course).

    Should you have accentuated the positives? Nope, Mr. Brooker never does - even when he thinks a show's brilliant he'll concentrate on the negatives. And yes we are talking Doctor Who. :)
