Noel's House Party

I still miss Noel's House Party. It is so sad to consider that it ended and that long after it ended, there is mostly tripe on Saturday evening television.

Noel Edmonds had charisma and knew how to entertain his fans. I actually met the man in 1994 and spoke to him for a few moments-he was a genuinely nice man and charismatic even in real life.

Noel's House Party was set in a fictitious village called Crinkley Bottom. There were celebrities galore doing all manner of silly things and generally making a fool of themselves. The show was non-stop fun for the entire fifty minutes. There was stuff such as Grab A Grand where celebrities in a machine tried to catch blowing money for charity and my favourite skit called Wait Till I Get You Home where young children told Noel Edmonds tales about their parents. And who can forget the lovable big fat Mr. Blobby?

Noel's House Party was the perfect way to sit down on a Saturday evening after a hard week at work and just relax. Nowadays, you get all these pesky interactive shows where you can't sit and relax because the shows are constantly telling you to ring in with your views or to vote for something or other. Noel's House Party wasn't like that. It was entertainment, plain and simple.

I do wish someone would bring back this fun show but I won't hold my breath.

Please make the pain go away.

I'd rather have my leg gnawed off by a herd of depraved yaks being driven slowly mad through cranial injections of battery acid than sit through another 'hilarious' alleged celebrity having a bowl of custard poured on their head.

The format was vaguely amusing for 6 episodes, but they carried on with this tat for eight long years.

Noel Edmonds literally built a theme park based around this series, but a euthanasia clinic would seem more appropriate.

Saturday entertainment used to be Gladiators, Noel's House Party and Casualty, what an awesome lineup that used to be. How sad is today's comparison, the likes of X Factor, Masked Singer and Britain's supposedly got talent.

I came across some old VHS recordings, and on them were two episodes of Noel's House party, of course they're dated, but I laughed the whole way through, Blobby and all.

The episode I watched featured Pat Coombes, it was hilarious, what comedy timing, Noel and her were terrific.

The Gotchas were absolutely marvellous, wonderful, innocent, naive fun, with all manner of people duped, most of them seeing the funny side. I'll never forget the ones with Cannon & Ball and Richard Branson, comedy gold.

Of course it's a different era, but at its peak this show was bringing in 15 million viewers, I can't see the earlier mentioned shows getting numbers like that.

8/10.

COME BACK NOEL!!!

The one thing in this entire universe where I generally feel that something is missing on Saturday nights.......'Noels House Party'. WHAT a show!

Noel Edmunds is a genius, he has the natural gift to entertain thousands of people. Since his departure from crinkly bottom, the likes of Mr Blobby has disappeared also! Where did he go?

What really gets up my snout is things like Bob the bloody Builder, copying the Blobster with releasing a song, Nobody, I mean nobody was cooler than Mr blobby so trying to follow in his footsteps just ain't happening. Blobby was original, funny and cool!

Noel really has made a good come back to our British screens with 'Deal or no Deal', but nothing compares to 'Noels house party'

P.S As Noel Edmunds is tiny I think He was probably bullied into presenting 'Deal or no Deal'

SOMEONE SHOULD SAVE HIM

I believe that this was the best Saturday night entertainment that the BBC has ever had, who cant forget the classic Gotchas that took place, mr blobby, SOFA SOCCER and many more amusing games and incidents but the best had to be NTV!! I think that the BBC should strongly consider bringing this show back the National Lottery Jet Set does nothing for anyone Aamon Holmes is a morning television presenter not Saturday night t.v!!! The New York special that Noel did was pure class! When people say the format didn't work it shocks me if the format didn't work then it wouldn't have got 15 million viewers every week and it wouldn't have lasted 8 years with many comic relief and children in need specials and also the afore mentioned New York special!
