Noel Edmunds gets a bit arsey

[Idaho]

We really need to find a way of suckering this programme. Getting them off on a storm of outrage against something that doesn't really exist a la Brass Eye.

 

[rekil]

Anyone remember when he killed that man?

Clive Anderson? Or has he added to his tally since then.

 

[5t3IIa]

You're all too young.

Noel had a saturday night show in the 80's and there was some stunt that went wrong (a lift/box on a bungy rope?) and some bloke died.

I remember that....

I know someone who works for Sky and a lot of people are proper embarrassed about this show....I doubt he'll be getting a new commission.

I will check on the "I don't get paid a penny" thing and report back!

He's a cunt - but he is right.

 

[danny la rouge]

Jesus. I couldn't finish watching that, it was so cringe-making.

"I created this show".

Twat.

 

[Mrs Miggins]

...apparently his fee goes to charity...

 

[Flashman]

Once a cunt always a cunt.

He made my dad cry once.

 

[5t3IIa]

I wonder if Posh Paws supports this nonsense? I used to sort of fancy Posh Paws when I was wee

He made my dad cry once.

He makes me cry (with despair) too.

 

[The Octagon]

Thanks to Anton Vowel's blog for pointing this out.

I knew that Noel's HQ was a sub 'That's Life' pile of toss with an added nasty little whiff of the Littlejohns about it, mainly from watching Charlie Brooker rip it apart in Screenwipe a few weeks ago.

Has anyone got the link to this Screenwipe episode? I can't find it on Youtube.

I think they're referring to his column in the grauniad

your a cunt - and you are wrong

 

[Melinda]

The distance between how influential Noel thinks he is, and actual reality is of Killroy magnitude.

I heartily approve! More of this kind of thing!

 

[Melinda]

What channel did that go out on?

Not me. The late late breakfast show.
Bunjgie jump bloke. Some people said he wasn't strapped in some said he fixed it so that he would die (suicide). Hummmm.

A quick wiki

Death of Michael Lush
On 13 November 1986, self-employed hod carrier Michael Lush was killed during his first rehearsal for another live stunt. The stunt, called "Hang 'em High", involved bungee jumping from an exploding box suspended from a 120ft-high crane. The carabiner clip attaching his bungee rope to the crane sprang loose from its eyebolt during the jump. He died instantly of multiple injuries, and the Breakfast Show was scrapped on 15 November after Edmonds resigned.
Although the inquest recorded a verdict of misadventure, the jury were informed of several failures on the part of the BBC. Graham Games of the Health and Safety Executive stated that the clip could have been opened by the weight of a bag of sugar, and demonstrated that the clip sprang loose 14 times in 20. David Kirke, a bungee specialist from the Dangerous Sports Club, stated that a similar stunt he had been involved with used three ropes, as opposed to the one rope used by the BBC, and shackles in the place of carabiner clips.[7] There was no safety officer on hand, and no supervision or demonstration from a trained stuntman. There was also no way for Lush to contact the ground once he was in the air, and nobody in the air with him in case he changed his mind; the jury heard that he delayed for almost two minutes before finally being instructed to make the jump. Furthermore, despite advice against it, the BBC production team had insisted on the use of an elasticated bungee rope.
The BBC made an ex gratia payment of approximately £120,000 to Lush's family. While the coroner recommended that safety officers be available during any such future stunts, BBC managing director Bill Cotton stated that there would be no future programmes that exposed members of the public to risk.[8] After the inquest, Noel Edmonds was quoted as saying "If I was to continue my career at the BBC I would want to be fully confident about any production team I was provided with."[9] He returned to the BBC's Saturday night lineup two years later, presenting Noel's Saturday Roadshow.

Holy fuck.

This program really is guff. If he wants to fix Britain then just do a bit of cosmic ordering.

True story.

[Gingerman]

He'd instantly improve this country for me if he'd fuckin emigrate 'the only thing you need to know about him is that he was,is and will always be a cunt.

 

[LilMissHissyFit]

Ouchy.

suspect it was, hope he didnt feel anything

 

[Citizen66]

Anyone remember when he killed that man?

And a charity event of his didn't fare much better.

The cause of a helicopter crash that killed a nine-year-old boy at a Noel Edmonds charity event was a matter of inches, according to the pilot.

Robert Hobson has told a fatal accident inquiry that if he had been flying just two inches higher the tragedy would never have happened.

The inquiry at Forfar Sheriff Court, Angus, also heard the helicopter was carrying five passengers when it should only have contained four.

Mr Hobson told the investigation he was trying to make an emergency landing and was just four feet above the ground when the the aircraft struck the top strand of a wire fence and crashed.

Yes Noel,the men in the white coats will be here soon

 

[Divisive Cotton]

Now he's taken his ball home and won't come out to play:

http://uk.tv.yahoo.com/27032009/19/noel-edmonds-moves-hq-sky.html

Noel Edmonds has reportedly pulled his Noel's HQ show from Sky TV over a disagreement about presenting the show live.

Sky bosses wanted Noel to start pre-recording the series following a live rant the 60-year-old presenter made on air last month, according to The Scum.

 

[danny la rouge]

Good.

 

[g force]

Yeah I bet he "pulled it" to "take it to another channel"....not that Sky couldn't be arsed with his self-inflated ego. Living TV it is then Noel..
