Noel shoots the poor robins!

Noel Edmonds' Late Late Breakfast Show literally welcomes in 1986 with a bang – with Noel taking a blunderbuss to BBC1's Christmas Robins. Noel claimed he was acting on behalf of the many people who hated the symbol, but in the following weeks Points Of View was swamped by complaints by those who did like the robins. Although the base of the symbol is quite obviously what we saw in junctions, the robins may not be – though this may be wishful thinking on my part, they don't look the same and may have been specially made for detonation. This clips contains violence against robins and scenes of Noel Edmonds which some viewers may find upsetting.
