Podcast appearances and mentions of Noel Edmonds

With the new season of Doctor Who happening right now on Disney+ and the BBC, we look back at one of our earliest episodes in 2020 when we looked at when Doctor Who did a special crossover with EastEnders in honor of the 30th Anniversary of Doctor Who. Also, Noel Edmonds is involved for some reason.

In today's episode, Neil takes listeners behind the scenes of Airbnb hosting, sharing his experiences with the inevitable challenges that arise during the hosting journey. With over 16,000 nights booked, Neil discusses five main reasons for mishaps, including host error, guest error, communication error, system error, and property error. Drawing inspiration from UK television presenter Noel Edmonds, he emphasises the importance of handling problems with humour and grace. KEY TAKEAWAYS When mistakes happen, own them with humour and sincerity. Apologize and offer a small gesture, like chocolates, to maintain a positive rapport with guests. Clearly communicate check-in times and other important details to avoid misunderstandings. If guests arrive early, suggest alternative activities to keep them engaged until check-in. Use clear instructions and visual aids, such as videos, to help guests find your property and access it easily. This can prevent confusion and enhance their experience. Keep meticulous records of bookings to avoid double bookings or cancellations. If a mistake occurs, act quickly to find a solution, whether it’s offering a different room or compensating the guest. When issues arise, what matters most is how you respond. Take immediate action to resolve problems, ensuring guests feel valued and compensated for any inconvenience they experience. BEST MOMENTS "You've planned for your guest's arrival, made sure everything is perfect, and then your guest informs you there's no pillow or towel in their room." "When things go wrong, what we do first doesn't count anymore. So what do we do second? That's what becomes the all-important action." "It's not so much what we do first that matters, but what we do second is what really counts." "I like to think of Airbnb hosting as a bit like being on live television, almost like being in the Big Brother house." "My guests are empathetic as long as they can see me taking action to try to fix the issue."

Born into a military family, it was a twist of fate which led him to the theatre, where he contributed to iconic productions such as Phantom of the Opera. Eventually, Neil transitioned to Corporate Event Team Building, eventually founding his own venture in 1999. Financial challenges in 2017 are what prompted a strategic shift to Airbnb hosting, proving a reliable backup income. By 2021, Neil and his business partner triumphed over significant debt, fuelled by their resilience and the success of Neil's Airbnb venture. Now, Neil has left the corporate world behind, thriving solely through his flourishing Airbnb endeavours.

On 4th December 1994 Jonathan Ross hosted the British Comedy Awards in front of an invited audience of the great and the good and Noel Edmonds. It was a good year for the likes of Steve Coogan, Michael Barrymore and the Drop the Dead Donkey team but almost from the off Ross was beset by problems, including announcing the winner of the wrong award, having to deal with an out-of-control Meatloaf whose sole intention, it seemed, was to reduce Wossy to a quivering mess, and, most notably, attempting to wrest back control of the room in the wake of Spike Milligan calling the future King of England a 'little grovelling bastard'. The reaction and fallout was to dominate the redtops for days and raised Spike's profile so sufficiently that his chatshow bookings and requests for interviews quadrupled overnight. Joining Tyler to talk about all that and examine the winners (and losers) of the evening are co-host of The Sitcom Club podcast Gary Rodger and the man behind Behind The Stunts, Jon Auty. There's clips aplenty and personal reminiscences from Clive Anderson and Jane Milligan. It's a fun stroll down memory lane and a useful reminder that there was a time when Michael Barrymore was the biggest name in showbiz and the likes of Armando Iannucci and Chris Morris were still considered 'the new boys'.

It's our 500th show and the final episode of this series. So what better way to end things before we take a short break than with a Listener's Mailbag! We kick things off with a message from someone very close to the pod about Joe's domestic cleaning - which is all rather awkward for him. And it's pretty uncomfortable for David too when Joe asks him for an update on his washed sofa covers. This leads onto a long conversation about keeping up with the household chores and their plans to do more cooking. After all that, there's just time for a few more of your emails, which this week are about catching up on the back catalogue, buying Noel Edmonds old house, going to Bagdad, supporting a mates band and high strength hand-dryers. Thanks for all your messages, we love reading them. Please send us more at chatabix@yahoo.com A bonus Vault episode will be going out tomorrow (Thursday) and our usual Vault Monday shows will continue through the break. We'll be back soon!

An unexpected Wednesday Twitch of Fun from an overly tired Richard Herring, but those are usually the worst and thus the best ones. Ally and Herring discuss walking in Noel Edmonds' shoes, whether the Queen has a furry muff, why blood is like a butterfly, whether there's room for a Baby Reindeer character on the show, Terry's work with various David Copperfields, casting for the new Supergran and whether Jesus partly enjoyed himself of the cross.

This week's guest is a man more used to asking the questions - the writer and broadcaster Clive Anderson. A former barrister, Clive turned to comedy and wrote for the likes of Mel Smith and Griff Rhys Jones before gaining radio & television fame as the host of top improvisational comedy series Whose Line Is It Anyway? He then went on to present a series of chat shows and interviewed some of the biggest stars on the planet, including Spike Milligan, and it's this that we take as our starting point. Clive talks about his career and many of the shows and people he's been involved with, including WLIIA, Loose Ends, If I Ruled The World, Peter Cook, Tony Slattery, John Sessions, Graeme Garden and Keith Allen. He also talks about his reaction to the Brass Eye segment claiming he'd been shot dead by Noel Edmonds, remembers seeing Harry Secombe miming on stage and shudders as he recalls *that* interview with the Bee Gees.

Richard has had a gig cancelled due to flooding but Bedford's loss is your probably loss as well as you spend nearly an hour of your life in the company of him and a piece of Victorian papier mache. Ally and Herring discuss inserting batteries where the sun don't shine, the end of sex (not a problem for my viewers), a very old tortoise and Noel Edmonds' age. And the Victorian Ghost Child and Fluffy Rabbit turn up to wipe the floor with everyone. Plus exciting news of the guest for last RHLSTP of the tour that you could have got before nearly everyone else if you'd watched it live. Three to 100!

We return after a month off with a look at this years Royal Rumble, also we examine the whole WWE/Vince/TKO/Netflix stuff, have a general catch up and talk the usual amount of rubbish, nobody reads this anyway do they ? I'd like to petition for Noel Edmonds to return to Bristol to present Deal Or No Deal, thanks everyone, love you all, Andy xx

The latest episode of the podcast which asks; have any of Team Chart Music done a streak?It's late January, but the inflatable Jimmy Savile-as-Santa is still hanging off the roof of the Chart Music house and the wreath that looks like DLT still hangs on the door as we prepare to tuck into another end-of-year splurge of Pop, as our favourite Thursday evening pop treat gets shunted to a Friday teatime and another Selection Box of the hits of the year gets ripped into. ‘Tis the arse-end of 1974, Pop-Crazed Youngsters, and a definitely end-of-era feel hangs over this episode. Glam is in its last knockings, the teenybop icons are starting to fade, the brickies in Eyeliner are just brickies now, Mock n' Roll is in the ascendancy, the Pop Famine of 1975/6 is beckoning, and although there's much to love here, this could well be the very last episode of the Golden Age of Top Of The Pops. Noel Edmonds and Dave Lee Travis are on hand to take us through the smash hits of the year that weren't introduced by Tony Blackburn and Jinglenonce OBE on Xmas Day, and are fucking unbearable. Musicwise, like all end-of-year shows, it's your typical running-away-from-a-crocodile episode. The Rubettes pitch up for a victory lap with a flashing bow tie. John Denver goes on about his missus again, before he takes a chainsaw to their bed. Alvin displays the most amazing standwork ever on TOTP if you discount Brian Connolly breaking one over his knee, before George McCrae attempts to introduce the TOTP Orchestra to Disco as he stands over a leftover turkey carcass. Stephanie De Sykes represents the Kings Oak Massive, and then Sparks completely go off. The Glitter Band do a Nazi love gesture at Bad King Gary as he performs his great lost Number One. Sylvia tells a load of underaged Osmonds fans about how she got her end away in Spain this summer. Queen set down a marker for their dominance of the next few years. Ray Stevens fails to get his cock out. After Suzi Quatro says goodbye to the massive bluescreen, the most perfect #1 single EVER is desecrated by the TOTPO. Terry Jacks reminds us that he's still dying, and we close with the Blokes Of Pop taking over and claiming dominance of the year, while Travis plays a Christmas Tree. So long, Early Seventies, you were MINT and SKILL and we'll never see your like again.Taylor Parkes and Rock Expert David Stubbs join Al Needham for a celebration of all things '74, veering off on such tangents as blind West Ham left-backs, Noele Gordon's musical career, five year-olds demanding to be let into sex shops, the era-defining genius of Yus My Dear, disturbing scenes at Wombles gigs, a re-imagining of Do They Know It's Christmas written by Chinnichap, and the introduction of the parlour game that's going to sweep the dinner parties of 2023 – Pantomime Horse.

You know when Noel Edmonds would turn up in a helicopter on Christmas morning to deliver Christmas presents to deserving members of the public? Even through there was no indication they wanted him to?We don't have a helicopter, but we do have 22 minutes of bloopers from the last 12 months – SOME OF IT ORIGINALLY CUT FOR PROFANITY AND ALL OF IT WE HOPE YOU KNOW WE'RE JOKING – including some extra chat with our friends Scarred for Life.  Carnations you mistook for roses, that's us. Anecdotes about John's appearance on Pointless are going to be our version of Joe Cornish's story about Steven Spielberg, aren't they? Second Easter Egg as you're probably  aware of Taylor Swift."I'm on a date with God and he's drunk"

Noel Edmonds ruled British TV in the 80s and early 90s and Telly Addicts was a huge part of that. Here we discuss the Christmas special from 1990. There's a couple of quizzes and music from Moonlight Parade. Listen to more here Band | Moonlight Parade Bandhttps://www.moonlightparade.com Hosted on Acast.

Pop Screen has confronted some horrors in its recent Halloween month, but nothing like what Graham and Mark come up against this week: Noel Edmonds. The DJ-turned-mystical guru pops up in Glitter, one of two episodes of the 1970s anthology series Second City Firsts that feature pop stars, and it's enough to send Graham into a journey into the heart of Blobbyland. But there's also the film's main star to reckon with - Toyah Wilcox, captured here just before her punk makeover, committing the ultimate sin of singing with a band called Bilbo Baggins. Second City Firsts also dipped its toe into the pop pond with Squire, an excellent, magic-realist tale of a working-class dreamer played by Lindisfarne's Alan Hull. Which of our two hosts - the North-Easterner Graham, the North-Westerner Mark - is a Lindisfarne fan? The answer may surprise you! We also discuss the many, depressingly business-related reasons why the single television play fell from fashion, the recent British film that reminded us of Squire, the mystery of the leaping dog, and why Graham is a capitalist [EXPLETIVE DELETED]. If you want to keep us in the capitalist pig lifestyle we're accustomed to, you can donate to our Patreon, where you'll get Rob's reviews of unjustly overlooked Asian films, Graham's classic series Doctor Who reviews, and a monthly bonus episode of this very show - listen to the end of this episode to find out what the next one is, or follow us on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram for more news. #popscreen #moviereviews #secondcityfirsts #toyahwilcox #alanhull #lindisfarne #phildaniels #noeledmonds #topofthepops #bbc #newcastle --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/pop-screen/message

This time on Behind the Scenes we power on through a few technical difficulties to chat with Ray Turner, a comic who has been entertaining audiences for thirty-five years. He cut his comedy teeth working clubs and theatres before establishing himself as one of the principal and most versatile studio warm up artists working in light entertainment television; ranked alongside legends Bill Martin, Jeff Stephenson, Ted Robbins and the great Bobby Bragg. For years he was an integral member of the teams that made landmark series such as “Noel's House Party”, “Today with Des and Mel” and the entire run of “Who Wants To be A Millionaire'.

Hullo hullo-ho-ho! Welcome to 2021's Christmas special, unwrapping a dozen Christmas broadcasting presents, from the past, to see what makes a classic BBC Christmas schedule. Our guest Ben Baker is a podcaster and author of festive books including the new Ben Baker's Christmas Box: 40 Years of the Best, Worst and Weirdest Christmas TV Ever (available on Amazon or Linktree). Like the Ghost of Broadcasting Past, he guides us through the Queen's Speech, Top of the Pops, Noel Edmonds, Christmas films, bizarre hospital visits, and ample more. Your host Paul Kerensa is a Christmas cultural fanatic - and quotes amply from his book Hark! The Biography of Christmas, especially the bits on royal Christmas speeches and Morecambe and Wise viewing figures. Paul's book is available in paperback, ebook or audiobook.

Two monarchs with their landmark Christmas messages - the first on radio and the first on TV. And back by popular demand, some genuine 1923 ads from Popular Wireless magazine brought to vocal life, by broadcaster Paul Hayes and my kids. Paul Hayes also has a blog we mention - he's watching every version of A Christmas Carol that he can find, and reports the results on watchingthecarol.blogspot.com. That's a lot of humbug. Speaking blogs, host Paul Kerensa has a 'Yule blog', on festive history, going back far beyond the birth of broadcasting. This is our last special before we embark on season 3, and 1923. So next episode, it's full steam ahead into Magnet House as the six-week-old BBC gets a staff and one office. Aw.

Marconi may have invented wireless, and the wireless, but he didn't see broadcasting coming. A special for episode 38, as we bring to life an interview with Guglielmo Marconi on what he made of broadcasting, two months into the BBC's existence. Our source is Popular Wireless magazine, January 27th 1923 issue. Read along if you like (plus bits from December 1922) - thank you to WorldRadioHistory.com for housing this long lost magazine. Needless to say, we don't claim any rights to the wonderful old magazine, and while we THINK it's either public domain or its rights owners are untraceable, we humbly defer to whoever DOES own the rights - and are ever grateful to the original journalists, editors, owners... and of course to Marconi himself. Given that Popular Wireless magazine was full of ads for radios and parts - and given the BBC then and now is ad-free - we thought it might be fun to bring some of those ads to life too, thanks to listeners who've sent in recordings. Applause for Gordon Bathgate, Alan Stafford, Andrew Barker, Paul Hayes, Lovejit Dhaliwal, Neil Jackson, Philip Rowe, Richard Kenny, Wayne Clarke, and my kids. There's a grateful thanks to Radio Times for making us their Podcast of the Week - and a little more about the pictures they featured of radio's female pioneers (see below for links to episodes about them). We wrap up with a summary of what the BBC has planned for its BBC100 season, now that its centenary programming has been announced - everything from Dimbleby to Horrible Histories.   OTHER THINGS WE MENTION: CRH News - Andy Stephens has some lovely Marconi history videos and features on his Youtube channel. Marconibooks.co.uk is where you'll find Tim Wander's fab books, including the recent From Marconi to Melba. I point you to a few of our previous episodes: on the first BBC Christmas, on Britain's first DJ Gertrude Donisthorpe, on radio's first professional singer Winifred Sayer, and on first radio comedian Helena Millais. See our feature in the Radio Times here on our Facebook page - Podcast of the Week! Buy my festive history book Hark!

Blob blobby blobby blob blob!... or welcome to another week in our search for the worst album ever made. This week it all gets a little odd as Steve and Remfry are forced to take a trip back to the death rattle of British light entertainment and dissect the debut (and weirdly only) album from 90's pop culture sensation Mr. Blobby, released during some point of 1994. Apologies to those listeners who are either from outside of the UK, or below the age of 25, this might take a fair bit of explaining for you. But those who do know and remember Mr. Blobby… well, you'll have no doubt in your mind that he is a worthy inclusion into the Broken Record family. Introduced as a foil to fool hapless celebrities during a segment on Noel Edmonds blockbuster Saturday night, prime time behemoth Noel's House Party, Mr. Blobby soon transcended the segment to become a genuine cultural phenomenon in Britain during the first part of the 1990's, despite the fact that he just said “Blobby blobby blobby” and fell over a lot. Depending on your viewpoint (or age at the time) it's either not much of a trick, and is in fact very fucking annoying, or it's a hilarious continuation of the grand tradition of slapstick that the likes of Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton would be proud of. Whatever, the massive success of the character saw his popularity milked for all it was worth, with merchandise aplenty (Towels, lunchboxes and VHS videos being particularly popular in the Dedman household at the time) and an inevitable musical career being thrust upon the Great British public. Blobby's debut single somehow managed to fight off competition from Take That and Meatloaf to land the prestigious Christmas number one spot, in one of the greatest upsets in chart history, in 1993 before an entire album of material was released the next year. As a relic of a bygone era, and with radically differing views on the quality of Mr. Blobby's work from back in the day, what exactly do our hosts think about the record today? It's certainly some deviation from what we're used to talking about on the show, still at least the hat full of shit can't give us anything more ridiculous than this next week can it!... or can it?!
