The fella has just been in a right state as 24 had just started and the remote control was nowhere to be found. 

I absolutely did NOT hide it from him at all...wouldn't dream of it...don't know what you're talking about...do you have proof I moved it? 

I gain not one iota of pleasure watching him flap and panic...not at all...cruel to suggest otherwise...not me, no sirree.

I know I would rather be rubbed all with the rough side of a cheese grater and then sit in a vat of vinegar than have to watch of episode of 24 but that doesn't mean I would deny him his hour of enjoyment (for long anyway)
