Rebecca Mayes to Appear on BBC

The Escapist's resident songstress is set to appear on a new TV show with acerbic media commentator and Yahtzee inspiration Charlie Brooker

The Yahtzee fans in the audience may be familiar with the name Charlie Brooker, as Yahtzee often cites him as one of his influences. Brooker, famous for his Screenwipe and Newswipe programs, is tackling videogames next in a new show called, somewhat predictably, Gameswipe [http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00n1j8q].

The lovely Ms. Mayes will be appearing on the very first episode, performing her review of MadWorld, on Tuesday 29th September at 10pm on BBC4. If you're in the UK and fancy singing along, the lyrics can be found here [http://www.gamepeople.co.uk/audio_wii_madworld.htm].

Also appearing on the show will be Irish comic and Mock the Week host Dara O'Brian, Father Ted scribe Graham Linehan and Rab and Ryan from the comedy gaming show Consolevania [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consolevania].

This is even more epic then I thought it would be when it was first announced, and it's on tomorrow. I am happy.

That seems a pretty cool show. According to an interview I read Mr O'Briain is a big fan of Left 4 Dead.

Charlie Brooker is awesome, too bad it's only a one-off show. I'd love to see him do more of these.
It's a series, check the link.

I'm all over it.

She sounds like Imogen Heap, but she probably already knows this.

Nope, it's a series.

Makes me wish I got that station. Maybe I'll be able to catch it on the Internets somewhere relatively quickly.

I clicked the link, and found nothing signalling that it is a series.

I hope you're right, though...
I should have clarified, I meant the link on Gameswipe, at the bottom of the page it links to there's a section called broadcasts.

Also, my Sky+ box found a series link.

Ah, bugger, she keeps adding other videos to her home site. Grrski. Hope she puts out a few more mp3's of her songs. Nice to see her getting a bit more attention.

Well good for her. I cant say I really enjoy her reviews but she is getting recognition, which is always a good thing.

Rebecca who? I saw Dara O'Brian and stopped reading. I love that guy.
Resident Escapist songstress. Seriously, have you not even seen the thumbnails to her videos?
