Charlie Brooker was wearing a neck brace on last night's Newswipe on BBC4.
Watch it here if you didn't see it.
Not much of a post but it's a good show so you should watch it, plus this is a bit of a search engine experiment.
That makes you a Guinea Pig. How does it feel? Anwyay, thanks for taking part. Let you know the results as soon as I have them.
Love,
Me, Charlie Brooker and his neckbrace.

It worked, you fucker!
Great, I feel used. I was just wondering about what happened to his neck.
Ha! No.1 on Google!
Sorry, Myke; no idea why he was wearing one.
Sorry Dom
Tee hee I Googled it too! I must be very nosey.
It's great show and he's so funny...
:-)
I feel violated, and I still haven't found out what his neck brace was for.
Bingo still working!
Grabbed this from some Facebook group:
According to his twitter they just had too much work and plus the fact that he hurt his neck they wanted to do the clip show to give themselves a break so the last show would be a good one.
I only watched the start of the show but I didn't watch it all. It was pretty boring to watch clips of a show you only saw a couple of weeks ago.
OK, here's the skinny.
Turns out the one time I skip reading Charlie Brooker's Screen Burn in the Guardian Guide on Saturday is when he explains why he was wearing a neck brace.
Here's what Charlie says:
Sorry for being away for weeks. I've had a pain in the nect, literally. Not just the neck, but the shoulder, elbow, fingers... you name it, it's screwed. I'm told it's probably a herniated C7 disc, and it's a constant source of joy. Numbness, tingling, a ceaseless sharpening ache... it's not agonising, more accumulatively infuriating; like sitting in a cinema with someone continually kicking the back of your seat. And you can't get out of your chair.
Each day brings a revolving carousel of dispiriting symptoms, all of them apparently set on 'shuffle'. On Monday the tingly numbness in my fingers might be a main concern. Tuesday may feature unrelenting shoulder pain. Enfeebling tricep weakness on Wednesday. And so on.
GET WELL SOON CHARLIE BROOKER NECK BRACE.
