Watch: GcMAF founder defends cancer drug in 'horrible' interview

The Guernsey resident whose controversial cancer drug has been banned by island authorities has had his claims about its alleged benefits challenged on national TV.

David Noakes appeared on The One Show on BBC One, where he threatened to smash the TV camera after being interrogated in what he called "a horrible interview".

The importation of the drug GcMAF into Guernsey was banned in February, after the UK health watchdog branded it "a significant risk to health".

Mr Noakes was seen on TV telling his interviewer: "I think that was a horrible interview and frankly I would scrub the whole thing. I don't think you gave me a chance."
