Another normal Saturday night in 90's Britain. You might be expecting a proper video today, but unfortunately a 23-minute essay about the Satanic Panic which was due to go up has been deemed too spicy by YouTube, who've permanently banned it. For a situation like this, I recommend following me on Twitter (link's in the profile), but hopefully this slice of Noel will be some small consolation.

Loved this. No memory of just about any element of it other than the Gotcha and NTV either, so everything feels like when the House Party must have hit that period wrestling did when nobody talked about it at school anymore.

This era of House Party is the most fascinating to me, plodding on in the Lads Mag era with CrashTV booking, throwing shit at the wall every week, and Noel's desperation coming out in every scene. I mean, he starts by promising it's gonna be a great one and closes by highlighting they're "unpredictable!" For a while around this time, Noel's catchphrase was "IT'S DIFFERENT EVERY WEEK!" "Please stop taking E's and watching Chris Evans. I promise Blackburn's not in it *that much* this week!"

I’ve watched a few retrospectives on it lately (think it was the BBC4 one that aired) and other than Noel visibility faking a passion for it all, the clap crowd/Prickly Heat-esque dance opening sequence is DEATH for the format.

There were no depths to which he would not sink in the interests of advancing his career (later modified to prolonging, then saving)

That scene of the traumatised child crying went on for *ages* - him just not acknowledging it and chuckling at the puppet

It's horrible. Like House Party's Nitro Girls. Another thing I noticed when editing that was there were no doorbell moments. "Lose Ronnie Corbett. Get some clubbers in."

'It's all gone mad here!' Who needs Mike Nice? Noel is the genuine bonkerstastic article, beyond parody
