==Television career==
is a cunt
Edmonds hosted ''[[Top of the Pops]]'' at various points between 1970 and 1978. He also hosted the children's Saturday morning programme, ''[[Multi-Coloured Swap Shop]]'', which ran from 1976 until 1982. During ''Swap Shop''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s run, Edmonds had his first brushes with Saturday evening TV, presenting "Lucky Numbers" – a phone-in quiz show which required viewers to call in and answer questions based on clips of films shown – and a revival of the 1960s [[pop music]] show ''[[Juke Box Jury]]''.

Edmonds later moved to a Saturday early evening slot, first with ''[[The Late, Late Breakfast Show]]''. The programme was cancelled by the [[BBC]] on [[November 15]], [[1986]], following an accident two days earlier in which Michael Lush, a viewer who had been selected to take part in a live stunt for the 'Whirly Wheel' section, died during rehearsals.<ref>{{cite web | work=Off The Telly |title=The Glory Game - The Rise And Rise Of Saturday Night Telly |url=http://web.archive.org/web/20041118201432/http://offthetelly.co.uk/lightentertainment/glorygame/part15.htm| accessdate=2006-09-10}}</ref>

Edmonds returned to television with ''The Noel Edmonds Saturday Roadshow'' in 1988. By 1991, the ''Saturday Roadshow'' morphed into the seminal ''[[Noel's House Party]]''. This latter series ran for eight years from Edmonds' supposed mansion in the fictional town of Crinkley Bottom. Regular features included NTV, where cameras were secretly hidden in viewer's homes, and the "Gotchas", where celebrities were caught in elaborate and embarrassing setups. When then-Radio 1 DJ [[Dave Lee Travis]] was "Gotcha'd", he infamously yelled: "Edmonds, you are a dead man". He later participated in Noel himself being "Gotcha'd".

[[Mr. Blobby]], a yellow and pink spotted character, initially appeared in the "Gotcha" section, and became a regular feature of the show. The character even achieved the [[List of Christmas number one singles|1993 Christmas No. 1]].<ref>{{cite web | work=Everything2 |title=UK Number One singles of 1993 |url=http://www.everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=1341888| accessdate=2006-09-10}}</ref> To this day, however, Edmonds denies any part in the creation of Mr. Blobby.{{Fact|date=February 2007}}

''Noel's House Party'' was a staple of [[BBC1]]'s autumn and spring schedules for more than eight years.

Edmonds also presented the quiz show ''[[Telly Addicts]]'', and was one of the original presenters of the BBC's motoring series ''[[Top Gear (original format)|Top Gear]]'' during the 1970s. During his time on the show, he rubbished the Fiat Strada, saying it "wasn't very good", which caused Fiat to threaten to sue the BBC unless he apologised for the comments.{{Fact|date=February 2007}} Edmonds reappeared in one episode of ''Top Gear'' in the 1990s, to road test the classic 1960s Ford GT40 supercar, because current host [[Jeremy Clarkson]] - at 6ft 5 inches tall - was unable to fit into the cockpit.

Noel Ernest Edmonds DL (born December 22, 1948) is an English television presenter and executive who made his name as a DJ on BBC Radio 1 in the UK. He has presented many light entertainment television shows, including Multi-Coloured Swap Shop, Top of the Pops and Noel's House Party. He currently presents the Channel 4 gameshow Deal or No Deal and the Sunday edition of Sky One's Are You Smarter Than A Ten Year Old?.

Early life and radio career

The son of a headmaster who worked in Hainault, Edmonds attended Glade Primary School and Brentwood School. He was offered a place at the University of Surrey but turned it down in favour of a job as a newsreader on Radio Luxembourg,[1] which was offered to him in 1968 after he sent tapes to pirate radio stations.

He moved to BBC Radio 1 in 1969 where he began by recording trailers for shows and filling in for absent DJs, such as Kenny Everett and Matthew Browne.[1] In April 1970, Edmonds began his own two hour Saturday afternoon show, broadcasting from 1-3pm, before replacing the sacked Kenny Everett on Saturday mornings from 10am-12pm in July of that year.

In October 1971, Edmonds presented Saturday morning Swapshop from 10am-12pm, and was also on the roster to present Top of the Pops[citation needed]. He was then promoted to Radio 1's prestigious breakfast show from June 1973 to April 1978, taking over from Tony Blackburn.

Edmonds moved back to Sunday mornings from 10am-1pm in 1978 and also presented Talkabout, and hour long talk show broadcast on Thursday evenings.[2]

Edmonds left Radio 1 in March 1983,[1] although he briefly returned in 1985, sitting in for Mike Read for two weeks on the breakfast show, and again in 1992, where he presented a special show celebrating Radio 1's 25th birthday.[citation needed]

In 2003, Edmonds made a brief radio comeback, taking over the drivetime show on BBC Radio 2 for eight weeks whilst Johnnie Walker was undergoing treatment for cancer. His stint on Radio 2 lasted from August 4 until October 3.[3]

In December 2004, Edmonds played a detective on a radio murder mystery play on local station BBC Radio Devon.[4]

Television career

Edmonds hosted Top of the Pops at various points between 1970 and 1978. He also hosted the children's Saturday morning programme, Multi-Coloured Swap Shop, which ran from 1976 until 1982. During Swap Shop's run, Edmonds had his first brushes with Saturday evening TV, presenting "Lucky Numbers" – a phone-in quiz show which required viewers to call in and answer questions based on clips of films shown – and a revival of the 1960s pop music show Juke Box Jury.

Edmonds later moved to a Saturday early evening slot, first with The Late, Late Breakfast Show. The programme was cancelled by the BBC on November 15, 1986, following an accident two days earlier in which Michael Lush, a viewer who had been selected to take part in a live stunt for the 'Whirly Wheel' section, died during rehearsals.[5]

Edmonds returned to television with The Noel Edmonds Saturday Roadshow in 1988. By 1991, the Saturday Roadshow morphed into the seminal Noel's House Party. This latter series ran for eight years from Edmonds' supposed mansion in the fictional town of Crinkley Bottom. Regular features included NTV, where cameras were secretly hidden in viewer's homes, and the "Gotchas", where celebrities were caught in elaborate and embarrassing setups. When then-Radio 1 DJ Dave Lee Travis was "Gotcha'd", he infamously yelled: "Edmonds, you are a dead man". He later participated in Noel himself being "Gotcha'd".

Mr. Blobby, a yellow and pink spotted character, initially appeared in the "Gotcha" section, and became a regular feature of the show. The character even achieved the 1993 Christmas No. 1.[6] To this day, however, Edmonds denies any part in the creation of Mr. Blobby.[citation needed]

Noel's House Party was a staple of BBC1's autumn and spring schedules for more than eight years. Several reformats failed to reverse its declining popularity, however [7], and in the final show, broadcast on March 20, 1999, Edmonds appealed that viewers' memories should be kind to the programme.

Edmonds also presented the quiz show Telly Addicts, and was one of the original presenters of the BBC's motoring series Top Gear during the 1970s. During his time on the show, he rubbished the Fiat Strada, saying it "wasn't very good", which caused Fiat to threaten to sue the BBC unless he apologised for the comments.[citation needed] Edmonds reappeared in one episode of Top Gear in the 1990s, to road test the classic 1960s Ford GT40 supercar, because current host Jeremy Clarkson - at 6ft 5 inches tall - was unable to fit into the cockpit. Edmonds privately owns a GT40 and is one of a select few people in the UK to do so.[8] In September 2006, Edmonds admitted to mens' magazine Loaded that he had travelled at speeds of up to 186 mph in the car in the mid-1980s on the Tring Bypass in Hertfordshire, and to having sex in the back of a Range Rover.[9]

In keeping with motor vehicles, Edmonds also starred in an advert for Austin Rover cars on British television during the mid 1980s [citation needed].

Noel's Christmas Presents was an annual broadcast made on Christmas Day in which Edmonds delivered special presents to various people. Some of the gifts included arranging trips to Lapland for ill or disadvantaged children, or arranging family reunions.[10] Noel's Christmas Presents returned to UK screens courtesy of Sky One on December 24, 2007.[11]

Edmonds once notoriously responded badly to his involvement in an episode of the Chris Morris spoof documentary series Brass Eye, in which he unwittingly pledged his allegiance on camera to a campaign to rid the country of a new killer drug, the entirely fictitious 'cake', which apparently made 10 seconds appear as a few hours to a user. His protests after the broadcast of the show resulted in a follow-up sketch in which a fake news bulletin reported that Edmonds had gone mad and killed presenter Clive Anderson during a dinner party, in which he held the rest of the guests hostage, before later returning to the scene to see an Edmonds lookalike throw a severed bald head from an upper-floor window before firing a rocket propelled grenade at a nearby wedding.[12]

The Curse of Noel Edmonds, a documentary tracing the rise and fall of his showbiz career, was transmitted by Five on November 9, 2004, with former Radio One DJ Mike Read being one of the contributors to the show.[13]

Edmonds has also worked closely with Richard L. Lewis, who has written and produced various programmes that he has worked on.[citation needed]

Deal or No Deal

Edmonds made his TV comeback, presenting the game show Deal or No Deal on Channel 4 (produced by Endemol), from a format that had already proved popular in numerous countries. The show is filmed in a set of studios in Bristol converted from an old warehouse. It began UK transmission on Monday, October 31, 2005, and is broadcast on afternoons six days a week. It has proved to be a massive hit, and at the end of the second season - which finished on July 13, 2007 - had given away over £8 million in 512 shows, including one winner of the £250,000 jackpot prize. In March 2006, Edmonds had his contract for presenting Deal or No Deal extended until Autumn 2007, for a fee rumoured at £3 million, making him one of the highest paid personalities on UK television.[14] Edmonds was recently nominated for a BAFTA award for his work on the show but lost out on the night to Friday Night with Jonathan Ross.[15]

On March 16, 2007, Edmonds made a cameo appearance as himself in a sketch with Catherine Tate who appeared in the guise of her character Joannie "Nan" Taylor from The Catherine Tate Show. Nan appeared on a special episode of Deal or No Deal, where she ended up cheating. The sketch was made for the BBC Red Nose Day fund raising programme of 2007.

The National Lottery: Everyone's A Winner!

On August 21, 2006, it was announced that Edmonds would be returning to the BBC to host a one-off show called Everyone's A Winner! celebrating National Lottery "good causes". The show was broadcast on September 23, 2006.[16]

Edmonds had in fact presented the very first National Lottery in 1994 before handing over to Anthea Turner and Gordon Kennedy.[17]

Are You Smarter Than A 10 Year Old?

On May 24, 2007, Sky One announced that Edmonds would host the UK version of the American hit, Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?, entitled Are You Smarter Than A 10 Year Old?. The programme debuted on Sky One on October 7, 2007, at 6pm. Edmonds hosts the Primetime showing of the programme, whereas the Daily Programme is presented by Dick and Dom.

Unique Group

In 1985, Edmonds formed the Unique Group, which now consists of various operations. The "Unique Broadcasting Company Media Group" plc (UBCMG) is an independent producer of audio programming in the UK, supplying BBC and independent radio. Michael Peacock was an executive of the group between 1989 and 2005, and former Radio 1 controller Johnny Beerling joined the group following his departure from the network in 1993. It owns Classic Gold Digital.[18] Edmonds resigned as non-executive director of UBCMG in March 2006 as a direct result of the success of Deal or no Deal.[19]

Edmonds also has interests in Unique Motor Company, a producer of small off road vehicles.[20]

Theme parks

Edmonds-licensed theme park attractions based on Crinkley Bottom and Mr Blobby were set up in existing parks at Cricket St Thomas in Somerset and Pleasurewood Hills Theme Park in Suffolk. An all-new park was also built in Morecambe. Following disappointing visitor numbers, and in the case of Morecambe, legal disputes with the local council, the deal was scrapped and the all-new park closed. The two existing parks reverted back to their previous state. Edmonds was said to be very critical of Lancaster City Council's management of the Morecambe park.[21] A report by the District Auditor found that the council had behaved 'unlawfully' in its dealings with Edmonds, which cost £2.5m, and two former senior officers were found to have committed 'misconduct', although this was not deemed to be 'wilful'.[22] The affair was dubbed 'Blobbygate' by the media.[23]

Acting Career

Edmonds has been cast as King Richard I in the BBC series of Robin Hood. He will appear in one of the last episodes when the king returns home from the crusades.[citation needed]

Personal life

Edmonds was married to Gillian Slater from 1971, but the marriage ended in divorce within five years. In July 1986, he married Helen Soby, and the couple have four daughters: Charlotte, Lorna, Olivia and Alice. The couple bought an 855-acre estate at Jacobstowe, near Okehampton, as a family home. In 2004, he and Soby divorced, splitting with much tabloid publicity due to her extramarital affair.[24]

After his second divorce, Edmonds took time out to stabilise his relationship with his daughters,[citation needed] before starting a relationship with Marjan Simmons, a French estate agent. They dated for a year until summer 2006. Simmons later went to the press, telling how she was left heart-broken after he dumped her, claiming she felt "discarded" by him after he battled to regain his television career.[25]

It was reported that Edmonds was involved with English teacher and former Miss England Pauline Bull, who lives in Monaco, close to his £3m home in Magagnosc, near Grasse, in the South of France.[26] However, Edmonds has recently stated that he is not ready to get seriously involved in a relationship so soon after his second divorce.[25] As a result of his success on Deal or No Deal, Edmonds purchased a new home in Devon, a £1.7 million Grade-II manor house.[27]
