   The first incident in June 1990 was when a BBC newsreader made what seemed   
   to be a reaction to something which had happened in my home, and out of   
   context of what they were reading. My first reaction was disbelief; nothing   
   of the sort had ever happened before, the idea that such a thing could   
   occur had not crossed my mind, yet there was no doubt of what had just   
   taken place. My disbelief eroded as this recurred time after time. Besides   
   the news, offenders included shows such as Crimewatch (!), Newsnight, and   
   "entertainment" shows. There seems to be very little moral understanding   
   among the people who make these programmes; they just assume they will   
   never be caught, so they carry on without a thought for the illegality or   
   amorality of what they do. The only time I ever heard a word raised in   
   doubt was by Paxman being interviewed by someone else (I think by Clive   
   Anderson) back in 1990; referring to the "watching" he said it troubled   
   him, and when asked by the host what you could do about it, replied "Well,   
   you could just switch it off" (meaning the surveillance monitor in the   
   studio). He clearly didn't let his doubts stand in the way of continued   
   surreptitious spying from his own or other people's shows, though.   
      
   Now you're convinced this is a troll, aren't you? This story has been the   
   subject of much debate on the uk.* Usenet newsgroups for over a year, and   
   some readers believe it to be an invention (it has even been suggested that   
   a group of psychology students are responsible!), others think it   
   symptomatic of a derangement of the author, and a few give it credence.   
   Quite a few people do know part or all of the story already, so this text   
   will fill in the gaps in their knowledge. For the rest, what may persuade   
   you of the third possibility is that some of the incidents detailed are   
   checkable against any archives of radio and TV programmes that exist; that   
   the incidents involve named people (even if those hiding in the shadows   
   have not made their identity or affiliations evident), and those people   
   may be persuaded to come out with the truth; and that the campaign of   
   harassment is continuing today both in the UK and on the American   
   continent, in a none-too-secret fashion; by its nature the significant risk   
   of exposure increases with time.   
      
   On several occasions people said to my face that harassment from the TV was   
   happening. On the first day I worked in Oxford, I spent the evening in the   
   local pub with the company's technical director Ian, and Phil, another   
   employee. Ian made a few references to me and said to Phil, as if in an   
   aside, "Is he the bloke who's been on TV?" to which Phil replied, "Yes, I   
   think so".   
      
   I made a number of efforts to find the bugs, without success; last year we   
   employed professional counter-surveillance people to scan for bugs (see   
   later) again without result. In autumn 1990 I disposed of my TV and watched   
   virtually no television for the next three years. But harassment from TV   
   stations has gone on for over six years and continues to this day. This is   
   something that many people obviously know is happening; yet the TV staff   
   have the morality of paedophiles, that because they're getting away with it   
   they feel no wrong.   
      
   Other people who were involved in the abuse in 1990 were DJs on BBC radio   
   stations, notably disc jockeys from Radio 1 and other stations (see the   
   following section). Again, since they don't have sense in the first place   
   they can't be expect to have the moral sense not to be part of criminal   
   harassment.
