Noel Edmonds
Sep 13, 2008 BBC
Interesting news just now, that Noel Edmonds has cancelled his TV licence, infuriated by the BBC's threatening infomercials - the ones that tell viewers, "We know where you live".
Almost inevitably the BBC misrepresents what he has done, saying that Edmonds is angered by the BBC's approach to licence fee evaders. He is in fact quite clear that he's angered by the fact that Auntie threatens everyone, regardless of their guilt or otherwise.
Edmonds was reticent about whether he has got rid of his telly too. Reading between the lines, my guess would be that he has not.

Not that that would make me able to endure an episode of "Deal or no deal?"
