One of the best practical jokes ever done on TV. Dear old Whiteley didn’t suspect a thing! In the modern vacuous world of the reality star, Whiteley would be a comfort, a joy, with the ability to laugh at himself. Still much missed. If Richard is watching this in heaven, he would be chuckling away. Brilliant piece of TV, never forgotten

My god, I am literally crying with laughter...this is bloody awesome! It also makes me wish I was back living in the age where Saturday night TV was void of idiots screaming on x-factor, pathetic reality shows begging for money with telephone votes and Simon Cowell. I don't care what anybody says, I loved Noels House Party. And to greggles2412, I would send you the bill to fix my monitor after I laughed while having a mouth full of coffee...but this made me laugh so much I don't care! RIP Richard Whiteley - True Legend

Its a pity, within your nice review of this brilliant gotcha, that you felt the need to slag off hundreds of thousands of everyday people just trying to make away in their life, in the profession they want to be in. I bet you voted ‘remain‘.

Awesome, thanks for posting. It's wonderful to watch a bit of TV gold. It's living history... I reckon Richard twigged at 29.15, "I think this show is a windup for me, you know.", but being a true gentleman, he went along with it just in case the contestants were real as he might have been wrong. Just my opinion. And still a true classic!

Regrettably, only a small amount of this could make it on to Noel's House Party. This full show is much more pleasant to see than the weird atmosphere of the edit. Weird how in the round where she goes to the toilet, no-one offered the valid words FARTIER or FARTER. Maybe it was even set up so that Richard could have a comeback if he so saw it. Ever the gentleman, he resisted mentioning the toilet trip when diarrhoea came up. Unfortunately, the OMETHINGS round was a misjudged part because it's so blatant. Richard himself then said that the whole thing seems a wind up. Shame to see them pretending that the end part is what Richard wasn't already in on at that time. It was funny enough already. That's Saturday night TV for you - broad brush strokes in what was actually a more detailedly comedic 'episode'.
