   He doesn't work for them, Neil, he simply likes the show. I know that the   
   concept that people do and like things without thinking about money is alien   
   to you, but it is a very real concept. Millions of people like this show!   
   They don't get paid.

   Which means that he simply likes the show. Endemol would use a different   
   person to promote their show, since their targetgroup isn't interested in   
   politics very much.   
      
   > Has he got similar work lined up?   
      
   Write to him if you want to know.

   When Mr Martin tells the press he likes eggs for his breakfast, the Great   
   Analyser will come up with another hilarious "analysis". Recently "banana"   
   confessed that he eats marmalade-on-toast. This surely means that the   
   marmalade industry, working with the toast industry, pay "banana"!

   From Big Brother via the Speaker to Opus Dei. Actually very funny.
