I'm sorry, but if you're the sort of person whose idea of a good time on a
Saturday night is to go and sit in the audience of N'SHP then you deserve to
be covered in a lot worse than gunge

It's the sofa soccer that I truly despise. At the start of the series the
pundits were getting 5 out of 5. Now it's been rigged so when the contestant
says 'Shoot!' they wait until it is pointing at the goalie before firing.
Rumour says that this is the last series of House Party. Please let it be
so.

Noels House Party?
When it first started it was quite good, those two blokes from The Bill
doing a set routine every week, genuinely funny gotchas (Garth Crooks in
particular), and DLT making a total twat of himself as usual.
However I have now come to hate Noel and everything he does, from
hilariously (!) putting a man in a shop window for a week to surprising
some poor sod in a pub and telling him off for swearing, my god he is
even telling us what to do in our own home now.
Where`s Blobby?
Where`s the star guests?
Where`s the fun?
Noels House Party will never finish, I fear he will still be
broadcasting when the missiles are flying, lets just hope it`s not one
of his pranks.

I don't hate Noel. People have very weak reasons for hating him. He's certainly
not that bad. We could have the likes of Dale Winton doing this show remember!
And Noel was right to tell the guy off for swearing. Once you know you're on TV
and its before the watershed... it's the polite thing.
>Where`s Blobby?
Live & Kicking stole him. Anyway, if he WAS on the show you'd be complaining
about him!!!
>Where`s the star guests?
Noel said they'd cut down on "C-list" celebs and have only a few guests, but
make sure they're "A-list" -- then came Meatloaf, Kris Akabusi, etc, etc...
<sigh>
>Where`s the fun?
Good point. He's only just starting to get the audience involved, but the weak
clapping they do proves they're only there because of the free tickets, most
likely.

simply sprung on them, and then they're supposed to just grin along with
it all and do what Noel says. They've got every right to swear,
especially if they're sitting in their own home when it happens.
Likewise when Noel tells his NTV victims to stub out their fags. That's
not very polite, is it? You wouldn't knock on some stranger's door,
invite yourself in and then start telling them how to behave? But
that's exactly what Noel does. Sorry, Noel, but this is my house, and
I'll smoke and swear in it as much as I want.
IMHO, that guy who just pulled the plug on the TV and walked out the
room had the right idea.

I'd agree with this. I used to watch NHP when it first started, and I used to quite
enjoy it. It was never a program I looked forward to, but I was happy to watch it. It
all started going down hill for me around the time of Mr. blobby. I found him funny
when he was in the Gotchas, but once he was taken out of those and started
'hilariously' falling over and breaking things, well...
I can't watch it now. I'll actively avoid it in fact. On a saturday these days that
means turning off the TV.

Some of his jokes and games are going a bit far now, if you ask me. What do these
people who end up in a shop window for a week (or any of the other places he's sent
them) actually think? I'm sure they can't be enjoying it.

Happily gone to Live and Kicking.

He has guests on, and sometimes famous ones (I believe from the brief moments I've seen
it on screen).

Last week they 'surprised' some kid..with her mother, who apparently
went with her daughter to a 'Take That' concert and hurled her bra on
to the stage.(The mother that is).
I couldnt help thinking that this (and the subsequent house party bit)
could have been lifted directly from 'Absolutly Fabulous'.
The daughter looked really embarrased at her mother..whislt her mum
seemed completly oblivious to her daughters embarrasment.

Depends. One foot in the Grave was good, and I've enjoyed Dad even though I don't
find it particularly funny.
Now had you compared it to Gimme Gimme Gimme I'd have to agree that their are

I last time I laughed at NHP was when the ex-Mr Parrot from Grange
Hill placed a cup over the small 'ntv' camera, live on national
television. I nearly cried, watching the short-arsed-little-prick

Yeah, that was great. I can understand your points, but someone in the victims
family actually set him up. So you should just go along with it (it's taken a
lot of planning, most likely) and remember you're on national TV.

You really think the *idea* of NTV and Gotcha's will be axed along with it? No
way. The BBC will find another variation of the same program, using the same

Noel was right to tell the guy off for swearing but you must feel a bit
of sympathy for him, one minute he is having a quiet drink and the next
he is on national television being watched by millions of unfortunate
people, he was clearly dumbstruck and the word just popped out.
But, as Alan Partridge said, "Live TV can blow up in your face".
I think the reason there are not many top celebs on is because of the
Jean Claude Van Damme fiasco, but can you blame to man, Noel`s "Idea"
was to have Jean Claude come on and wrestle with Blobby, what superstar
would do that, although come to think of it, the way Mr Van Damme`s
career is going at the moment it may have been a wise choice after all.

Have you seen todays Sun? After blaming Ronan Keating for dragging the
House Party's ratings down, Noel goes on to say he's developing a brand new
exciting show for the millenium. Hands up everyone who thinks it'll be
exactly the same as House Party, but with a different name?

Couldn't agree more. I actually think you'd have pretty good grounds
for taking legal action against Noel and the BBC. Invasion of privacy,
and possibly trespass, if you were the house owner. (They came in and
set up their equipment in your house without your permission,
remember?) The fact that a member of you family would have to have
helped them complicates things, but there's no getting round the fact
that they've invaded your privacy and your property without your
permission.

Fine. When you're featured on NTV - and basically have around 15 minutes of
fame - you can walk out of the room. Fine. I would take the rare opportunity
with both hands and remember not to swear out of courtesy.

Fame?! I certainly wouldn't want my 15 minutes of fame to be a brief,
extremely embarrassing, appearance on NTV. No, I'm afraid I have to
agree with the others and admit that I'd be likely to throw a complete
wobbly and kick their stupid arses out of *MY* house.

IIRC NHP was a variation on the older Noel Edmund's Saturday Roadshow
(or something similar) and I wouldn't be very surprised if that was
based on Multicoloured Swap Shop (although that was way before my time).
NESS did seem more sophisticated than NHP and it was certainly more
interesting having it in a different "location" (read "studio with
different set"). It was also genuinely funny and they obviously did try
to come up with something original. I think NHP is just one of those
things that is just past its best and has been going on for too long.

Noels House Party...
Yup, I see a pattern.

This has got me thinking (unusual for me). What was on before Noels
House Party was thought up?
As for my 2p regarding HP itself, I think the 'pranks' are pushing it
now. I am sure a lot of you remember why The Late Late Breakfast Show
(I think that was it) was taken off.

All I remember being on before "Noels House Party" was another programme
starring the ever present Noel, my brother unreliably informs me it was
called "Noel Edmonds Saturday Roadshow" where he would travel all over
the country, and indeed world, but, and this was the gimmick, he didn`t
actually fo anywhere, it was all studio based, and this is where the
house party was born.

Yeah, very true. It was pretty good, too. Quite expensive to do, but more
interesting to watch that House Party. But they ran out of locations... and
changed it very mildly to create House Party.
Did you also know that the name Crinkley Bottom was thought up by a viewer one
week. Wonder if she got money for that idea? I doubt it.

I admire Edmonds. He's a gerbil-faced comedic genius whose simple humour
appeals to all sectors of the lower orders. But if he was to execute a
good-natured jape in my front lounge I should say...

As I recall he got a member of the public to try a bungee jump but
forgot to get a boy scout to tie the knot. Funny how all these years
on ITV can built an entire show around basically the same idea (Don't
Try This At Home).

Anyone remember Noel's Saturday Roadshow. It was entirely different to
NHP, it had Noel, gunging, Z-list celebs and gotchas...... So it was
entirely different. It even had a different name!
The thing is though that even the gotchas are crap these days. OK, so we
don't expect DLT class gotchas every week, but we do expect something
better than hanging a nobody from some lifestyle show in front of a CSO
screen for two minutes. Hardly funny. The Trevor McDonald one was
diabolical and just made me squirm in my seat. Never has a TV show sunk
so low. The David Seamen one from a few weeks back was mildly amusing,
but that's about it.
Trouble is that perhaps the celebs are now too wise, and anybody who is
worth doing has already been done. He will have done about 200 gotchas
on the HP alone, not forgetting the ones on the Saturday Roadshow!

Well, for my money, the new series did give us the Countdown Gotcha for Richard
Whitely and that's definitely amongst my all time favourites!

On the whole I think that the gotchas are abysmal. Having said that,
the only two that I've seen that made me laugh have both just been
mentioned! (The one above and the DLT one)

The problem with most Gotcha's is that they're usually very contrived. It's
great watching a celebrity make an idiot of himself when it's *blatantly*
obvious it could ONLY be a set-up. But recent Gotcha's just placing celebs in
weird situations and - quite rightly - they react as we *all* would. It's not
funny that way.
Getting celebs to read out pieces of Latin that translate as "I am wearing no
underwear" is also another classic example of how silly the whole thing got. I
mean - NOBODY would have twigged the Latin meant that!

Once the dancers arrived with long legs & cleavage for the finale you

The late late breakfast show was great, but house party has become an

Its explained to the studio audience, before the show starts.,.that
some of them may get 'gunged' and anyone who doesnt want to be should
not take part..most people are aware of the 'gunging' anyway even
before they apply to be in the audience..so I would assume they know
what is going to happen.

Same kinda thing for my local nightclub a year back when it held a
foam party night. Plenty of A4 legal notices around the place which
basically warned people of what would happen, and how the club
couldn't be held responsible for what happened.
I walked home in soaking trainers that night! I stayed well away from
the stuff on the second foam night.
