Questions always come in two's!
'To be or not to be?
To live or not to live?
Who remembers Noel's House Party? A classic piece of Saturday evening entertainment from the bearded man himself with a man dressed in a pink suit with blobbs all over his body.
Noel Edmonds was on a downer after being axed from prime time TV. Now, it seems little old ladies and just about anyone can't get enough of him.
His new popular primetime hit, 'deal or no deal?' seems to be a winner. What is it about these shows which gives them their popularity?
I must confess since watching it once, I now find myself tuning in regularly on a saturday night to watch some poor soul try to 'beat the banker.' Have I become as sad as the old granny - shouting 'No deal,' from the back of their sofa?
Noel Edmonds can certainly charm an audience - perhaps it's the beard!
Which ever way you look at it, saturday nights have never been the same since Noel's House Party was axed.
In an age where we are bombarded by reality TV and mindless celebrity trash I'ts good to see an old face doing new tricks.
As they say you can't teach an old dog new tricks! but, in this case, you can with a man with a beard!
