Claim
He has received three British Comedy Awards: Best Newcomer in 2009, Best Comedy Entertainment Show Award for Newswipe in 2011 and Best Comedy Entertainment Personality in 2012.
Correction
This sentence gives the wrong year for Brooker's British Comedy Award for Newswipe. Newswipe won Best Comedy Entertainment Programme at the 2010 British Comedy Awards, not in 2011.
Full reasoning
The year in this sentence does not match contemporary awards records.
- Chortle's British Comedy Awards winners list records "Best Comedy Entertainment Programme: Newswipe" under 2010.
- The British Comedy Awards' own Winners 2011 page does not list Newswipe in Best Comedy Entertainment Programme; that 2011 category instead lists Alan Carr: Chatty Man, An Idiot Abroad, Harry Hill's TV Burp, and Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle.
So the claim that Brooker received the Newswipe British Comedy Award in 2011 is incorrect; the award was for 2010.
