I just came across this article which i'm sure will be of interest to KP.

It's basically talks about DOND & the link between gambling and children who watch the show (hence why it's an article that'd interest KP :) ) - http://www.wessexscene.co.uk/features/3205

But what does everyone think on the matter? Do you agree that a show like DOND endorses gambling to kids and that it could - to quote - "[be] a serious risk to children". Or that it's just a harmless daytime TV show which will have little effect on the younger audience who watch the show.

I think you'll find that KP actually wrote that article...

I didn't actually look at who wrote it :oops:

But I thought the article looked familiar in style and the quotes about Noel.

Yes, that's my article. How did you find it?!?

Note the last paragraph carefully. This was written knowing a) that the publication date (in the student newspaper itself - only made it online today) would be on March 12, b) the game that was to air on March 12. :)

I usually search Google news about once a day to see if there are DOND/Noel Edmonds stories.

I use the search terms Noel Edmonds Deal or No Deal and your article currently appears at the top as it's the latest related story.

Thank you for your diligence Mike :D

I was in a shop the day the news broke about the property deal, I only caught the end of the story and had no idea what I had missed.

But I knew you would post what had happened on the forum :D

While I don't fully agree with some of what you said, I thought it was an excellent
article KP, both entertaining and informative, as well as provocative. :D

Glad you appreciated it, it's a talking point if nothing else!
