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.
