Download Charlie Brooker

TV writer, producer, presenter and critic Charlie Brooker takes a seven-day break from social media and tells Konnie Huq – who also happens to be his wife – about the experience.

Charlie (@charltonbrooker) was one of the first big names from the UK to be active on Twitter, back in the heady days of Stephen Fry live tweeting from a lift.

In this episode, recorded at Charlie and Konnie’s West London home, he opens up about why he’s withdrawn from posting more recently, why he’s such a prolific lurker, and his extreme ideas for a social network of the future.

Switch Off is produced by Tom Green and mixed by John Scott for Ear to Ear.
