This is actually a really lovely way to remember him and I’m surprised it isn’t cited more often. Few people came out of the Gotchas as well as this
30 YEARS AGO TODAY: the time is right for Dale Winton to get his Noel's House Party Gotcha, and one of the best remembered too, as much for Winton's kindness and going out of his way to help out as the bride/stolen car/bishop in a hurry unfolding dramas.
Noel's House Party - Gotcha! for Dale Winton
Before hidden cameras were everywhere, there were the Gotchas — and Noel Edmonds was the king of catching celebs off guard.
This video features one of the legendary Gotcha Oscars segments from Noel’s House Party — a perfect blend of chaos, 90s telly magic, and genuinely impressive prank production

We were in the pub over the road from the ITN building as it was the last day before Christmas. They had this on the big screen!

Just introduced @katerubu.bsky.social to this sadly overlooked complete Christmas bop.

That tagline “there is only one…” appeared on the #totp compilation albums of the period, and randomly popped up on this showcase thing, but I never saw it anywhere else. Anyway surely it should be “it’s still number one”?
