TV writer, producer, presenter and critic Charlie Brooker takes a seven-day break from social media and tells Konnie Huq 鈥� who also happens to be his wife 鈥� 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In this episode, recorded at Charlie and Konnie鈥檚 West London home, he opens up about why he鈥檚 withdrawn from posting more recently, why he鈥檚 such a prolific lurker, and his extreme ideas for a social network of the future.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.
