Noel Edmonds Kiwi Adventure

 

Noel Edmonds was a household name in the UK in the 70’s he was a radio DJ on the most popular radio station Radio 1 and then he migrated to TV. The multi coloured swap shop, Telly addicts, The late late breakfast show, Noel’s house party as well as Noel’s Christmas presents he was at the forefront of BBC light entertainment for 20 years. 

The BBC changed direction and Noel was lucky enough to land a popular game show deal or no deal on channel 4 and this was at the popular too. Of course this came to an end when it became too expensive to produce. 

Noel’s businesses where the victim of a large banking fraud in the late 2000’s where Hbos would front load healthy businesses with expenses debit so they could wind them up and reap high profits. Once to compensation came through Noel emigrated to New Zealand for a new life in 2016 and bought a large estate on the big island. 

I think it’s fair to say that the popularity of Clarkson's farm has been noted and Noel is trying to recreate it. There are however some big differences. 

Jeramy Clarkson is more grounded and culturally aware of the age we live in. Take the pubs they both own Clarkson owns and runs “The farmers dog” with Hawkstone beer and largers that are brewed locally. Noel owns “The Bugger Inn” which is funny in a 80’s early 90’s way with boyish humour but the world has moved on inside the on tap beers and cider also have silly boyish humour names. 

Clarkson realises that he’s not the most loved person in the local area and keeps a low profile by and large. Noel stands by the side of the road waving at passing motorists don’t get me wrong I’m sure Kiwi’s are more friendly but standing like the lord of the manor will provoke even the most affable of people. 

Noel lives in a bubble of the 80’s I guess he had shelter from the world at large for a long time. It’s a sad spectacle and poor imitation of Clarkson's farm.
