THE SHOW: Noel's House Party THE YEAR: 1998 BEFORE: As any arse on a sofa can point out NOEL'S HOUSE PARTY was a great big whopping hit back in the early 90s thanks to the show being crammed full of great ideas (such as – of course – NTV) and Noel having perfected his cringe-making shrieky comedy voice. For about four or five years the Edmonds took on all comers on Saturday nights and beat them all into a cocked hat (including at times Berlinda Data). But just as the whirly wheel had spun Noel into disaster some ten or so years previous, the whirling wheel of ideas started to take a tail spin in 1997. As one-time top BBC bod and official chum of Noel – Michael Hurll pointed out, programmes such as House Party are an insatiable eater of ideas and for Noel – established as the best ideas man since Beadle - the pressure to innovate was intense. Predictably the ratings started to dip as viewers got increasingly tired of NTVs that didn't really go anywhere, endless trailers for items coming up later in the show (Noel takes credit here for being the first person to trail a show within itself – as if that's a good thing) and interminable bits of business with supposed village locals. CRUNCH TIME: Over the years the BBC kept snipping away at the show's budget. Then in 1998 Noel went berserk and refused to make any further editions of House Party until the show got more money. After a period of heated negotiation (during which Noel would apparently only communicate with Alan Yentob and the great John Birt himself) the Beeb capitulated and Noel was promised more cash, more guests and more scriptwriters. |

Inevitably just one year later came this: "It's an overworked expression when people say it's the end of an era, but for BBC television, for the entertainment department, for me, and possibly you, it really is the end of an era. I hope your memory will be very kind to us – after 169 – bye." EMMERDALE OR FAME ACADEMY?: Clearly this should be stamped "Fame Academy". What House Party didn't need was more money spent on bigger but less interesting spectacles. What it could have done with is being taken off 4 years earlier – that way we would all remember it as one of the greatest Light Entertainment shows of all time (we would honest!). Noel: " But the reality, and now we can see it ten years on, is that in ’95 television was changing very rapidly indeed. And if I could live my life again, yeah I’d like to have ended House Party then. Could it have come back after a rest? Who knows?" Who knows indeed – or was it all just a dream? FACTS AMAZING: Dudley Moore actually said "Fuck" on the House Party, however the soundman managed to dip the mic so the TV audience were none the wiser. |
