    Has anyone caught this? When I read up on it I assumed it was on some obscure Sky platform well away from the Big 4 on the EPG but no it's on one of them - Channel 4 albeit in mid-afternoon when only the destitute and dissolute are watching as a rule. I decided I'd record one to see if it was as bonkers as described. It is and yet not quite loony enough. I doubt it'll be back after the current run.

    The Price Is Right meets Open All Hours after downing Methaqualone.

    I watched one of these out of curiosity.

    Awful stuff. It's like something that might have made a passable five minute filler on Crackerjack! while Leslie Crowther was waiting for the set to be moved around. Showing it every day for an hour is off the wall.

    Maybe it was in Noel's contract that he could get another show of his choice after Deal or No Deal with no questions asked, hard to believe someone gave this the Greenlight.

    He doesn't appear to be the full shilling.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    Apparently viewing figures have fallen from 271,000 for the first episode to barely half that for the fourth episode. Ouch. :o:o:o

    Two years ago, Channel 4 tried out Benchmark with Paddy McGuinness - which flopped spectacularly at 4pm *and* at lunchtime too, leaving the remaining episodes to be burned off in the early hours of the morning. Not beyond possibility, alas, that this show of Noel's could go the same way... :o
