1. Charles Brooker's screen burn

Great. I really like Charlie Brooker. Maybe Richard can afford to ease back a little and let more of his humour shine through, because that is the main thing fundamentalists lack. Well maybe logic is the main thing they lack, but you get the idea. If Dawkins is 'Darwin's Rottweiller' then some people are 'Dawkin's Pit-Bulls' and are more aggressive on his behalf, so Richard can be a true gentleman and let the arguments and their truth-value do the talking. I think this is what he does anyway but he must find it infuriating listening to the same fallacious arguments over and over, but I suppose being a good teacher is being patient. There is a masive source of humour to be had from pseudo-scientific beliefs as Penn and Teller and Bill Hicks have shown. Brooker would play the Wire on permanent repeat on his TV network too! It is ace you should watch it.
