4th person to reach 1000 appearances on television

"He became the 4th television personality to reach 1000 career appearances on the television, joining Terry Wogan, Mr Blobby and Richard Hammond which he said was the greatest moment in his career along with watching people win big on Deal or No Deal. "

I have difficulty believing this. What about all the newsreaders of the 50 and 60s who were on our screens every night?

How can Hammond possibly have made more appearances than Richard Baker?

Noel Edmonds (Deal or no Deal UK) TV license revolt

Noel understands the utter crap BBC television has become. In sapping £143 per annum (quote, source) from an each TV watching UK citizen for no reward. BBC programs are a specialised commodity. That would be good if you could see them they are in such short supply and your palette on BBC is destroyed by BBC promotion; it's destroyed by BBC affiliated cronies advertising the BBC, on such a mouthpiece of BBCthought (tm). Noel is right to be disgusted that the vast majority I hope of right thinking subscribers to game shows and pap that he was involved with should object to paying for the whole medium of television and the fact that they are told to fund the whole medium through the auspices of the BBC. It is pure misrepresentation. People need to think about the amount of guts it took to make the stand that "our Noel" has taken against corporate influence and the supposed responsibility of the "British Broadcasting Company". NO! we cry and we delight in a broadcaster who supports us. (Member periodically of the British television watching public aware of license inspectors and their abject hate and dirty tricks). They're on commission aren't they. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.7.119.22 (talk) 05:57, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Noel Edmonds (Deal or no Deal UK) TV license revolt

Noel understands nothing. He became rich off the BBC abd revolts against them. He produces poor TV incl. house party for the BBC, if he had such a regard for the licencE paYer, why Did he continue with house party, taking the licences payers' money?

Yeah, he's the kind of pussy that talks a good fight but, when it comes to the crunch, his nuts are soft as jelly. You wouldn't want to be in the trenches with the likes of him. He'd blow his whistle, send you up the ladder, then slip back down for a crafty fag. --OhNoPeedyPeebles (talk) 11:49, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Television Career

Quote from 'Television Career' section in the article: "Noel now produces many more programmes and is amazingly generous." - What is that sentence doing there and supposed to mean?! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.135.77.1 (talk) 22:12, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Residency?

There's somewhat of a firestorm around Noel's TV rant, which no doubt will find a mention here at some point once the dust has settled a bit - in the meantime, I've seen several claims by members of the public that he lives in France, having decided to take his children there so their tiny minds wouldn't be damaged by poor-quality British TV. Does anyone have any info on this? Dom Kaos (talk) 18:37, 13 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have mentioned the rant and the reviews in general of Noel's HQ - I did try to find if there were any favourable ones (not counting informal ones of any leaning) and more information would be welcome in time. As for where he lives, his anti-immigration interview with the NotW included that he lives in France, but didn't mention his children[1]. Billwilson5060 (talk) 12:27, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Philanthropist

I see no source for this and nothing in the article to support, so per WP:BLP, I've removed it. Please feel free to replace it, with a reliable source. Rodhull andemu 22:46, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

NTV

- "Regular features included NTV, where cameras were secretly hidden in viewer's homes. It was later learnt that these were staged; [citation needed] the set-up's were revealed some years after the demise of the show, when Edmonds did a one-off reprise of the 'classic' for the BBC.[citation needed]. the set-up's were revealed some years after the demise of the show, when Edmonds did a one-off reprise of the 'classic' for the BBC.[citation needed]"

Whilst this is true it was known much earlier than this - at the time when the show was still running. The satellite magazine WotSat mentioned a number of times that the live satellite feeds for this could be viewed and showed the whole process. : I had personally seen this several times back then. Was once via Orion 37.5 west satellite in PAL, encoded in sound-in-synce (SIS format). You'd see the crew prep the people on the sofa. They conducted trial runs in being shocked and surprised. And the cables ran across the floor in front of their feet. For the most part they just sat around bored waiting for the moment. --Revolt (talk) 10:02, 23 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This is largely aprocryphal stuff. 90% of NTV sequences were well-planned, technically skilled events where the 'victims' were completely unaware of the hidden cameras. In the cases where the camera had been spotted or the situation had gone wrong in some way, it was then faked for the purposes of entertainment. It was not a 100% fake, and as such the articles should be revised to reflect that. Hardylane (talk) 16:34, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
