In his Wilderness years following the accident Noel learnt alot in America. On one warped level it was good for him.

At one time the licence fee was justified as it allowed the BBC to make quality programmes without the need for advertising or a mass audience.
There seems to be a covenant here: We pay, they make good telly.
That covenant has been broken. There are so many repeats on the Beeb and much of the formula TV progs are only there as ratings winners rather than being of any real quality.
The BBC has also broken the covenant in that it buys in much of its content from private companies. A lot of people are getting rich at the licence payers expense.
Considering the amount the BBC makes from selling it's content abroad, is the licence fee still significant?

I wonder what the relatives of that chap killed in the 80s think of him? The one where Noel sent him on a stunt on a TV program. Not that Noel was involved.....
Was it presented by Noel and Mike Smith? What was the name of that show?

Ok, he's a beardy-weirdy with a few bad TV program concepts, but on the whole he's a nice enough chap.
Fully agree with him about licence fee and the nasty, hectoring attitude of the BBC regarding it. The ominous, paranoia-filled infomercials that suggest they are watching you, and that you're worse than a rapist if you don't pay your telly tax.
God knows there are enough horrible, evil people in the world to hate if your want to hate someone.
Leave poor old Noel alone.
