The BBC are dusting off the old Noel's House Party format and reinventing it for a new generation. TV bosses feel that due to the credit crunch and tough times in the real world, what people really need is more upbeat light entertainment magic from down Crinkly Bottom way.

However,a problem has presented itself in Noel Edmonds' increasingly strange behaviour on Noels HQ, not to mention his refusal to pay the TV license.




So now bosses are scratching their head, wondering which other celebrity Noel could step into Edmonds' size 10 shoes. A shortlist has now been drawn up, that includes:


Noel Gallagher, Rock star (5/1)




Pros: Dry sense of humour, cool big name guests.

Cons: Might chin Blobby.


Noel Fielding, Comedian (30/1)



Pros: Exuberance and energy.

Cons: Bit of a nob.


Noel Clarke, Actor & Writer (50/1)



Pros: A positive young role model.

Cons: Not very good with scripted banter.


Noel Godin, Notorious Belgian pie flinger (100/1)



Pros: Good with gunge.

Cons: Not very famous.
