Noel takes blame for TV standard drop

Mr Blobby creator Noel Edmonds admitted he is responsible for a downhill slide in British TV standards.

The presenter said his axed Saturday night show Noel’s House Party went into a “downward spiral” which has had a knock-on effect to other shows.

In an interview with Radio Times said: “We tried out damnedest to make it a special entertainment but I’ll admit I’m a contributor to the decline in TV standards.”
