[QUOTE="Angela Channing, post: 353075, member: 33"] My memory is that Central TV did say why they sacked Noele Gordon and although a central theme of [I]Nolly [/I]was to question of why she was dumped, I've often wondered if the real Noele Gordon just couldn't accept her sacking and promoted the line that she didn't know the reason to save face. At the time they said they got rid of her because they wanted to attract a younger audience. [I]Crossroads [/I]consistently pulled in large ratings but it was thought that a large chunk of the audience was middle-aged and older at a time when advertisers wanted to appeal to younger more affluent viewers. I remember Central TV (it might possibly have been Jack Barton himself) saying something like they wanted an audience that would buy a particular type of car rather than those that buy washing powder.
