Younger cadres informed me that this was a form of social engineering initiated by the BBC in 1976.
No matter. The experience was valuable for two reasons:
1. The excruciating coldness between Keith Chegwin and Maggie Philbin meeting for the first time since she divorced him citing his two bottle of vodka a day drink problem.
2. It brought to Madame Mao's attention a television presenter called Noel Edmonds.
This is important because in the early part of December Madame Mao was required to travel through West London in a limousine (not an unpleasant experience and reminiscent of the glory years). My driver was a burly Cypriot comrade who informed me that the worst passenger he ever had was someone called Noel Edmonds "who was a complete cunt who kept shouting and screaming at me even though there was nothing I could do about the traffic". Mr. Edmonds refused to tip and made a point of repeatedly telling the poor driver this.
Most interestingly of all the comrade driver told me that Mr. Edmonds wears a hair piece and was completely bald while he was in the back of the limousine. Undoubtedly this explains his ill temper - he had lost his wig.
While I have a small unit working on this in the international intelligence attache in the Chinese Embassy in London no proof has so far been forthcoming.
Madame Mao would be extremely grateful to anyone wandering through her blog who can provide photographic or anecdotal evidence which may, or may not, be used as evidence in a future revolutionary tribunal.
Any contributions will be rewarded with huge amounts of foreign aid.
