Burnside Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 As others have said I'm amazed that someone could survive that crash and to have people so close watching was madness. +1 on the Edmonds hate after slagging off the Strada and subjecting us to Mr Blobby he deserves to be rinsed by Lioyds Bank.

PhilA Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 I'm always surprised how far up the chain some twats and c'ts manage to climb. I used to watch the shows Noel did as a kid but that's because there wasn't much else actually on. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Honda Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 and to have people so close watching was madness. In fairness, it was the done thing at the time.

Edmonds deserves to serve a prison sentence for Blobby alone. And that's without even starting about blobbygate which even I'd have to admit wasn't 100% Noel tidybeard's fault.

bigstraight6 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Can anyone else remember The late late breakfast show Noel hosted in the early 80’s? I seem to recall him driving a Lotus Esprit in the intro, all that stunt stuff was bonkers though, very different times... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiC Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Born in the mid 80s, I'm a child of the 80s/90s and thus I was the target audience of Mr Blobby. My parents found him annoying, both of my grandmothers despised him. Me and my sisters however absolutely loved him! He's such a lovable goofy rough. I probably still have this on cassette somewhere.

Braddon81 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 This was the record the were attempting to beat with the Jensen. Although this is an independent video recording, I presume the shows producer had some hand in it as Mr Edmonds is narrating and the music is identical to the Late Late Breakfast show. They had two stabs of stunt jumping on the show, the first was on the second or third ever episode and featured a Whirly wheeler jumping a Hillman Hunter Gt. Hed been told the correct speed to enter the ramp... but had a rush to the head when actually attempting the task and just stuck his foot down... he cleared all the cars he was supposed to land on and came to a halt with a couple of feet to spare. It actually transpired he'd broken the then current UK jump record. It used to be on YouTube but has recently be pulled off.

STUNO Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Fear not Englishmen and the rest of the UK, Rumours have it that Mr Edmonds is soon to join the underworld and is purchasing digs a residence in this region. We are all delighted and excited that he is said to be in retirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnthonyG Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 That is incredible - nowadays there’d be multiple investigations after the first crash with the Escort. ‘It’s OK, we’ll just move people back a bit and let the next bloke have a go in something much bigger going twice as fast!” I remember some stuntman competition thing that was shown every year on ITV around the same time - similar sort of madness. One stunt that sticks in the memory was somebody drove a Hillman Hunter under a lorry trailer - the roof was meant to come off (like Jackie Gleason’s police car in SATB) but didn’t shear off cleanly because the pillars hadn’t been sawn in the right places - this nearly took the guys head off! oldcars 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asimo Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 I remember watching that TV jump as it happened, made me feel quite sick. Does anyone remember Edmonds and that fuel-saving gadget scam? Some magic black box that would make a gas-guzzler do 100mpg. Beardy DJ lost a lot of money to some slimy trickster. And him such a car-bloke too!Snigger.
