Antiviral Wipe
Charlie Brooker returns to our screens for the first time since his Bafta Award-winning 2016 Wipe to take a look at life under lockdown. As well as coverage of the crisis itself, he'll also be exploring what we’ve been watching to while away the hours. Guest contributors joining him, from a safe distance, include the ever-insightful Philomena Cunk (Diane Morgan) and Barry Shitpeas (Al Campbell). If nothing else it will give you something to do for half an hour.
