Noel's House Party is a BBC light entertainment series hosted by Noel Edmonds. Set in a large house in the fictional village of Crinkley Bottom, leading to much innuendo, it was broadcast live on Saturday evenings in the 1990s on BBC One. The show, once described by a senior corporation executive as "the most important show on the BBC", was cancelled in 1999 due to poor ratings. In 2010, Noel's House Party was voted the best Saturday night TV show of all time.
The entertainment show returns with a host of new features, ideas and characters, including Sofa Soccer, a bizarrely competitive twist to NTV and Phibber the Frog joins Waffle forthe My Little Friend spot.
