Noel started life as a radio DJ having stints on Radio Luxembourg, pirate radio stations and then BBC's Radio 1. It was whilst serving at Radio 1 that he gained a huge fan base and his shows normally consisted of lively banter, good music, and some hilarious phone jokes played on unsuspecting listeners.
From radio, Edmonds took the leap into television. He presented Swap Shop, and various other children's TV programmes during the late seventies and early eighties, graduating into adult television soon later.

Biography
Edmonds started out in radio, and became the youngest DJ on Radio 1 for his time (aged 19). Children's television beckoned, and he fronted the Multi-coloured Swap Shop for many years on BBC1.
After a couple of quizzes he went on to the freeform entertainment format The Late Late Breakfast Show on Saturday nights, which abruptly ended its run when a bungee jump stunt ended in the death of a member of the public. Virtually the same format re-appeared later as the Saturday Roadshow.
Noel's House Party was more of a roller-coaster - initially it won international awards and was the lynchpin of the BBC's entertainment line-up. In later years, it received intense criticism as a sign of falling standards at the BBC (something Edmonds himself is said to have agreed with, even pulling out of one live show hours before broadcast).

His first appearance on the BBC's chart show Top of the Pops came in where he sported his trademark well-trimmed beard.
Beyond Top of the Pops, Edmonds' self-assured, highly professional style made him an exemplary TV presenter. His early appearances generally involved one-off programmes such as Nurse of the Year (BBC, ), though he soon graduated to series such as Top Gear (BBC, ), a revamped and ill-fated return to Juke Box Jury (BBC, ) and Time of Your Life (BBC, ) and large-scale events inclu
