Around age five I started to think about why it was we watched little people on the t.v., so finally just to clear things up I had to ask if we were being watched some where on someone's t.v., always freaked me out when going to the bathroom to think I was on someones television.

I used to believe that the tv station could monitor what I was watching. If a show came on that I didnt like I would quickly turn the channel, hoping they would cancel the show.

One day I discovered the truth that the TV stations had giant banks of lights at the studio, each light was connected to different TV sets in peoples homes. When you turned your TV on and set it to their channel, your light would come on at the studio, that's how they knew you were watching and that's how TV station ratings worked! I spent one slow Saturday morning turning our TV on and off for hours in order to mess up their statistics, however the only outcome was that our TV blew up in a spectacular way. I was convinced that the TV station had done this to our set because I was being silly and messing with their lights, I vowed revenge for week and then forgot about it.

When I watched Playschool and Floella Benjamin was asking everyone to join in singing and making actions that the camera had a large screen that showed pictures of everyone watching and she could see when you weren't joining in.

I used to believe that people on TV had a big bank of monitors which allowed them to see you in your living room. One Saturday morning, I was watching Swap Shop while wearing my pyjamas when Noel Edmonds said to camera "What are you doing still wearing your pyjamas!?"
What more proof did I need? I ran to get dressed because Noel Edmonds told me to.
