Noel Ernest Edmonds (born 22 December 1948) is an English television presenter, DJ, executive who made his name on BBC Radio 1 in the UK. He is more recently known as the presenter of the television gameshow Deal or No Deal. Edmonds has also worked closely with Richard L. Lewis, who has written and produced various programmes that Edmonds has worked on. [edit] Early life and radio career The son of a headmaster who worked in Hainault, Noel Edmonds attended Glade Primary School and Brentwood School.
He was offered a place at Surrey University 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 all the 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 that year. In October 1971, Edmonds then went on to present a Sunday morning show from 10am-12pm & was also on the roster to present Top of the Pops]. Edmonds was then promoted to Radio 1's prestigious breakfast show from June 1973 to April 1978, taking over from Tony Blackburn, where he gained record audience figures.
Edmonds moved back to Sunday mornings from 10am-1pm in 1978 and also presented an hour long talk show on Thursday evenings entitled Talkabout.[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] Edmonds starred in an advert for Austin Rover cars on British television during the mid 1980s. [1] In 2003 Edmonds made a brief radio comeback, taking over the drivetime show on BBC Radio 2 for 8 weeks whilst Johnnie Walker was undergoing treatment for cancer. His stint on Radio 2 lasted from 4 August until 3 October.
[3] On 15 December 2004 Edmonds also played a detective on a radio murder mystery play on local station BBC Radio Devon.[4] [edit] 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 film 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 show was cancelled by the BBC on 15 November 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 rehearsal.[5] Edmonds returned to television with The Noel Edmonds Saturday Roadshow in 1988. The Saturday Roadshow in time morphed into the seminal Noel's House Party in 1991. 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] Edmonds to this day 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 several years. Several reformats failed to reverse its declining popularity.[7] In the final show, broadcast on 20 March 1999, Edmonds appealed that viewers' memories should be kind to the show. Edmonds also presented the quiz show Telly Addicts and was one of the original presenters of the BBC's motoring show 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 in the 1990s, to road test the classic 1960s Ford GT40 supercar, because current host Jeremy Clarkson at 6ft 5 inches was unable to fit in the cockpit. Edmonds privately owns a GT40 and is one of a select few people in the UK to do so
In September 2006 Edmonds admitted to mens' magazine Loaded that he had travelled at 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] 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] 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 protestations after the broadcast of the show resulted in a follow-up sketch in which a fake news bulletin reported that Noel Edmonds had gone mad and killed presenter Clive Anderson during a dinner party, in which he held the rest of the guests hostage. 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.[11]
The Curse of Noel Edmonds, a documentary tracing the rise and fall of his showbiz career, was transmitted by Five on November 9, 2004. Former Radio One DJ Mike Read contributed to the show.[12] [edit] Deal or No Deal Logo of Edmonds' show Deal or No DealEdmonds 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, 31 October 2005 and is broadcast on afternoons six days a week. It has proved to be a massive hit, and as at the end of the second season, which finished on 13 July 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 the show extended until Autumn 2007, for a fee rumoured to be £3 million, making Edmonds one of the highest paid personalities on UK television.[13] 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.[14]
On 16 March 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. [edit] The National Lottery: Everyone's A Winner! On 21 August 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 23 September 2006.[15] Edmonds presented the very first National Lottery in 1994 before handing over to Anthea Turner and Gordon Kennedy.[16] [edit] Are You Smarter Than A 10 Year Old? On May 24, 2007 Sky One announced that Noel 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 7th, 2007, at 6pm.
