I have just found this appalling report by journalist Rachel Cooke, which was published by The Observer in January. I think its worth reading just to see how wrong this woman got it. She didn't understand the show, her memories of Noel Edmonds are of Mutlti-Coloured Swap Shop and Noel's House Party, which she presumeably watched as a child. She didn't understand that Noel presented these shows from a base of decades of broadcasting into the nation's breakfast kitchens on radio - most people were in on the jokes.
Noel proves daily that he is in a class of his own, and when Terry Wogan finally hangs up his headphones the BBC are going to have to grovel like Jack Straw to win back Terry's natural replacement.

rachel cooke is an excellent journalist, very natural and light in her style.

Anonymous (I wish everybody would give names to their comments, I am not going to track you down and murder your children...probably), I have reviewed the article by Rachel Cooke again following your comment above, and taken out certain phrases from my orginal post as a consequence, I had written in haste - I apologise to both Ms Cooke, and worms.
The article is still, in my opinion, very poor, giving a greater insight into Ms Cooke's immature personality than it does about its purported subject.
