Telly Addicts - BBC1 - 12th September 1987

Noel Edmonds is back with his 'hoofer-doofer' at the ready, to test the small-screen knowledge of the SIMONS FAMILY from Penarth and the WELLS FAMILY from Leicester, as he launches this year's nationwide search for the Telly Addict champions of 1987

[@michaeljohn2826]

The 80s were full of ladies called Trish in maaaaassive glasses

[@davem4544]

Diedrie Barlow was a trendsetter

[@novaworld1297]

Used to love this it's one of those you wish had a new lease of life now

[@gazzab3224]

Wish they bring it back.

[@nativenewlondoner]

1:45 Olivia Coleman in 80s specs.

[@benholmes908]

Spot on!! :-)

[@spikie852]

Haha I was sceptical until I saw her, 100% agree 😂

[@nicholalaw2681]

Great days!!!!

[@8teillumin]

I loved this programme. My late father was a vision engineer at Pebble Mill and worked on every series and I loved going in with him on rig days and sitting on the sofas. Definitely think it should return with much the same format as this and not like the revamped version.

[@toucheturtle...6547]

Some host just have it Noel was a great host and a great guy ... Shame things went so wrong for him... At least he still has his chopper...

[@KEITHMU]

This interesting bit of scheduling meant it kept Noel on Saturday Nights between the abrupt end to the Late Late Breakfast Show and the arrival of The Noel Edmonds Saturday Roadshow.

[@Gary80264]

Remember The Paine Family? They were unbeatable they were. from the first series.

[@eclectica1]

Are you Welsh by any chance?

[@felix2672]

I remember them!

[@Boppinbob1]

Yes I do ...they were a real Paine. !

[@eclectica1]

Trish rocking the Dennis Taylor specs there...

[@whomanbeing]

I don't recall Telly Addicts being on on Saturdays, but there you are.

[@robalexander8065]

It sometimes started on a Saturday (in the Noel Edmonds' Late Late Breakfast Show/Saturday Roadshow slot) then continued on Monday or Tuesday for the remainder of the series.

[@whomanbeing]

Ah, okay. That makes sense.

[@mirabellamcgarry8269]

Omg good old noel omg he's in I'm a celeb now omg can't believe it has gone quick

[@michaeljohn2826]

I love Noel so much

[@mpdalyful1]

Mike Smith didn't

[@samrenee6632]

that one guy actually sniffed the wellies when he was handed them. Who does that?

[@Kill--alllll---IDF]

U had to watch it because ther was only 4 channels bb1 2 3 and 4 and a vhs movie shop to rent movies lol

[@Gallowaywind]

Just clicked this is a Saturday. ( I thought what strange timing) I take it The Russ abbot show wasn't recorded? For anyone else 5.20 Cartoon Time 5.45 Telly Addicts 6.15 Allo allo 6.50 Bobs Full house 7.25 Russ Abbot 7.55 casualty 9pm Last night of the proms

[@NeilMiles]

Yeah it doesn't feel quite right being on a Saturday does it. No, the Russ Abbot show wasn't recorded, the recording finishes about 30 seconds into Bob's Full House

[@Gallowaywind]

Thats a shame about Russ abbots, since nearly all the episodes are embargoed. I always thought Telly Addicts went out at 7pm on a Monday

[@diggers7169]

Oof, Noel’s white shoes!!

[@BB49.]

His wife likes to see two things swing together in the middle😂oh matron!

[@diggers7169]

Slip on shoes and white socks...

[@rajtheangrydj2711]

Your announcer is Peter Bolgar

[@NathanJayMusic]

Strange to think that everyone you see in this show is now dead

[@donna1420]

Nonsense

[@mrandrew1243]

How come the telly clips not shown 🤔

[@antoniod]

And of course CRAZY LIKE A FOX filmed a TV-Movie in England with Graham Chapman.

[@surreptitious6881]

The budgets about 2...280k

[@mpdalyful1]

Noel Edmonds was replaced by the man who despised him, Mike Smith!!!

[@sparxies]

Not really, Telly Addicts was always Noel's show (85-98 - yes that long). Mike Smith did That's Show Business (89-96), more or less a copy.

[@Bruce-vq7ni]

Most of those people in the starting credits are dead.

[@ka5269]

Monday night on BBC1 7pm if I remember correctly, having survived first day back at school...another 4 days to go kind of feeling. Anyway, I can remember thinking who would want the idiot box addict accolade? Not something to be proud of.

[@stephenduncan3605]

It was on at the same time as The Krypton Factor on ITV

[@Sheik__Yerbouti]

Noel Edmonds - The worst thing since sliced Hitler

[@royfr8136]

I remember this... Didn't remember it being this shit though.
