I'm surprised you didn't explain what Mr Blobby was created as, to give context. Noel invented him as a SPOOF character, used to trick celebrities into thinking they were helping make a new kids tv show. As the "tv shoot" went on, the fictional character's actions became increasingly farcical, to see if the unwitting celebrity would reach their breaking point. Eventually Noel, who was inside the suit the whole time, would remove the head and reveal himself, at which pointed would yell "gotcha," and present the celebrity with a gotcha oscar for being a good sport. Of course at first the prank worked as no one knew mr Blobby wasn't a real character, but as the Noel's House Party show became more well known, or became harder to trick celebrities as they had begun to hear about it. It was only from that point that Mr Blobby became more of a stand alone character, but his ridiculousness was intentional as he was originally devised as a parody "typical" children's tv character, whilst never having been real in the first place.

If you think about it, Noel's House Party was pretty much a pastiche/parody of Saturday morning kids magazine shows that were around at the time. Silly games, lots of gunge, a costumed character that acted as a sort of foil to the host? All the sort of things you'd probably see 12 hours earlier when the kids got out of bed. The biggest difference was there weren't any cartoons in between segments.

Interesting story, but my Uncle was one of the tradesmen hired to build Mr Blobby's house and the Noddy area. His biggest contribution was the thatched roof of Noddy's house because that is his specialisation; he is a thatcher. I visited that park many times throughout my childhood, so I remember each of the eras. The saddest day for me was when they had to close the sea lion show because of a lack of attendance.

My friend used to courier the Mr Blobby suits used at the Morecambe park halfway across the country just to be cleaned. They were that paranoid that people would steal the suits, but it wouldn't stop the courier drivers messing about in the suits.

Here is a funny perfectly true story for everyone. In one episode of Telly Addicts (for those that are too young to remember this or have never watched it) it was a game show based on TV knowledge hosted by Noel. In one episode one of the contestants was wearing Mr Blobby socks (black socks with Blooby's face on it) and Noel stormed over to the contestant and basically ripped his socks off. Noel was having none of it. He wanted at least one place where he could get away from The Blobster. The contestant had to sit bare foot through out the episode.

I remember begging my parents to take me there back in... 95 I think? We had such a long drive and honestly I found the place pretty boring, my parents were trying to keep a cheerful facade but you could tell they knew it wasn't worth the effort. Despite being a weekday it was pretty darn quiet for a tourist attraction during summer holidays (especially during the height of Mr Blobby's popularity), just a few people milling around, and with no real rides if you missed the show timings (which we did) and didn't care about Noddy or the zoo part there was little to nothing to do. At this point all I really remember is the train ride and some brightly coloured area, don't think I even saw Mr Blobby at all, I still have a carrier bag from the gift shop emblazened with Crinkley Bottom though - gotta keep some proof such a place even existed.

The best days were the ones where the Christmas No 1 would be totally bonkers and not an X-factor/BGT winner. Mr Blobby is a national treasure. Believe it or not Mr Blobby used to be scripted. Graeme Gardner used to write scripts for him

I live about half a mile from the Lancashire 'blobbyland' - it was in a local PUBLIC park called happymount. The whole thing was a fiasco from start to finish, not least because they tried to grab a well loved and used public park and turn it into a private for profit space. From the very start they (both edmonds and our local group of crooks known as Lancaster council) seemed to delight in winding up the locals (that would be me) and the whole thing was resented greatly. Once edmonds had moved in and spent a ton of cash, and so was considered to be in too deep to just pull out, the council tried to extort large payments from the blobby company for various things. A long legal battle ensued, and edmonds sued the council over and over again, each time walking away with MY cash. We learned pretty quickly what mr edmonds is really like when not on tv - he is a very angry, arrogant selfish and really quite nasty character who would not last 5 minutes on the streets of Morecambe and he knows it - I invite him to come and try ! In the end he closed up and sloped off to abuse someone else, and we got our park back - it now has, amongst such things as an olden days merry go round and a ghost train, a small but well put together water park which is FREE for everyone. Blobbyland was without doubt the stupidest idea anyone ever had for a theme park, and noel edmonds is a nasty little so and so whom I will be happy never to lay eyes on again. Good riddance !

So ... where were all these visitors supposed to park ? There is literally no place to put any sort of car park, never mind one of the size needed to service such an attraction. Although happymount park is walkable from Morecambe (about 10 mins for an adult), I doubt kids would have been thrilled at the prospect, and in any case even Morecambe does not have the parking space required.

No smaller park could afford a fucking rollercoaster at that time. And for smaller kids and families animals and this water ride and trains stuff works perfectly fine. There isn't many places to visit with small kids. Problem is you either need to attract international tourists, too or keep it cheap enough so local customers would go there regularly. And this mix of being in the middle of nowhere in the UK AND focussing on a UK phenomenon AND some local publicity problems was just too odd.

I remember being dragged there as a kid, would have only been six, my sister loved Mr Blobby, I however found him to be a freakishly terrifying mix between the joker and Anne Whidicome. I much preferred the animals of farthing wood attraction. Now there was a true gem from my childhood!

Noel's House Party was to Saturday nights what The Big Breakfast was to weekday mornings

Gotta respect the "Mr Blobby touched me here." Ahh British culture!

Very good documentation on the history of this strange place. A lesson in why not to deify a fleeting icon. Blobbys time had come as soon as his temple was finished. Alas, poor Blobby 😣

3:15 "for some reason". That's the moment I realised this kid wasn't around in the 90's. Mr Bobby was huge! I had Mr Blobby's CD and my now wife went to Bobby land as a child. You had to be there man!

Such a shame! Cricket St Thomas was such a beautiful place to visit. Although i visited it before the Blobby attractions were there, sad to hear it's all gone.

The 90's were a hell of a drug.

I admit to liking Mr Blobby when I was a kid... I honestly forgot both he and Noddy existed until I was reminded about them by this video...

I visited as a child, my grandparents stopped there on our way to butlins Minehead in summerset. This video has given me me a huge nostalgia episode, thank you so much for covering this.

US viewer here, I listen to these podcast style but sometimes watch when I get a second. When you said Noddy was a timeless classic vs Mr Blobby I was curious about what could make such a big difference. Well, it really took one look and I can see why the contrast is insane.

My kids use to love Mr Blobby I remember buying them the VHS tape as well, really was a popular figure at the time but like a lot of other popular figures they burn bright and then fade away,,,,,,,,,,,,,Really interesting video.

Nice video! I was born in 1999 so I missed all the Mr Blobby-ness but I remember the park fairly well. I visited it a lot in the early 2000s, but even then it was very run down and very very empty. There were very few animals and the (mossy and rusty) zebra train only ran about 5 times a day. The line of shops was opposite the station I think, and I have vague memories that things in Dun Blobbin (like the dog at 4:12) were put in the shop windows. I talked to my mum about it, and she said it was always unkempt and dirty, even in the 80s and 90s.

So nice to hear more into the history of the place and what's been going on over the years, I looked up about the place about 2 years ago but nothing like this so I really appreciate the work you put into this! I went here as a kid on quite a few occasions, it looks bad today but as a kid in the 90's it was awesome and I have fond memories of it still to this day, those where the good old days. Thank you once again!

Noddy was something I got to see over here as well and enjoyed reading old Noddy books in the library so that part would have really been woot to me. It's just sad that places like this regardless of whether popularity of the character wanes, don't seem to be what people care about anymore even when they say oh it was great as a kid.

It is a fascinating place, however there are not really any abandoned parts to it..... those no longer in use are because they have slid down the 400 foot cliffs! The only abandoned part that is still there is the old adventure land which used to contain Mission Control and a play park. All the other things that were there have been relocated to other areas, or the other park owned by the same company, Robin Hill near Arreton.

Thanks for doing this video- I was born in 1990 and I always wanted to go and since stories emerged about it's fate, I wondered what it was like in it's heyday.

Noel Edmonds used to live near me in Preston St. Mary and he called his house Dingley Dell and used to visit Lavenham often.

3:28 I think that song just became the background music to my nightmares.

Everytime I hear about Mr Blobby, everyone points out how no one knows how or why he became popular. Like he was some eldrich god that Dr. Who defeated

Excellent video, made me want to look up more pictures of Mr. Blobby lol!

I'm from the US so I neither knew of the characters nor the park. So coming from a complete outsiders point of view I'll say it was still a facinating video! I grew up in Atlanta Georgia & in the late 70s there was an indoor theme park downtown baises on the Side & Marty Croft shows of the era. (Land of the Lost, H.R. Pufnstuf, Sigmund & the Sea Monsters, etc) I don't think I ever was there, but I'd have been too young to remember. But the site still exists & it's the world headquarters for CNN I believe.

Other interesting losses are Windsor Safari Park (now Legoland) and Tucktonia (giant model village) in Christchurch, Dorset which I saw when it opened in about 1975. I did enjoy finding out recently in Tom Scott's video on "Jingle Bells, Batman Smells" that a Scottish variant was "Mr Blobby - Did a jobby - On the motorway ..." - the mind boggles.

loved this and so well researched. I live close to pleasurewood hills and remember when mr blobby was there. very short lived though

I remember going here. my sister banged on Mr blobbys house window, and then baby blobby started crying. strange place. always remember how odd the train was, becuse it looked like a house

Remember when some guy twatted blobby and people cheered

Really enjoyed this video and in depth research you did. Really interesting stuff

My dad got free family entry because cricket's st thomas owned the dairy he was a milkman for. This video brought back some memories

This is such a sad story

I remember Hulk Hogan threatening mr blobby as the Hulkster had a single coming out at the same time

I remember seeing Philip schofield getting a gotcha from Noel Edmonds at the radio 1 road show in Cleethorpes. Noels house party was a stable Saturday night viewing through its entire run

I loved the Gotcha part of House Party. The one with John Regis in space was ridiculous and hilarious!! 🤣

It’s a reflection of someone’s feet. I think there was a plastic/glass window there.

I saw that and became so frightened my arse was sick.

...and Noel Edmonds is located 200km away from sanity.

The whole Crinkley Bottom / Blobby stuff was a thing of it's time.

My parents took me to Crinkly Bottom and somewhere I have a picture on me sat next to Mr Blobby. Great memories!! I’m pretty sure that raves used to go on in Dun Blobbin in the early 2000s which is why the house got so damaged

(From a US viewer who knows little of this “Mr. Blobby”...) Wow... you guys *really* liked Ecstacy in the ‘90s, didn’t ya? Like... a *lot*.

I was going to make a comment about how weird that show looked but I watched bear in the big blue house so I think I’ll shut up.

bear in the big blue house was a cute cuddly bear that sang songs... this thing is a weird pink blob. I wouldn't compare them!

So noels house party was a family/adult show. It was on at prime time 7.30 on a Saturday evening and Mr blobby wasn't for kids it was ironic. It was actually sort of satire really! It was silly family fun and stupid names and games. It wasn't really to be taken seriously but it just became very popular!

I went to Cricket when To the Manor Born was popular (before Blobby) as I really wanted to see Grantley Manor. So begged my Dad to take me. It was beautiful. All of it, the estate the house, everything. Then Noel got hold of it and it has been down hill ever since. Noel started it's downfall. Warner Holidays finished it.

I was glad to see the back of noel edmunds, how he got away with the stupid stunts towards the end where one person was badly hurt in a car stunt and another killed after falling from a crane I will never know.

I've never heard that Mr Blobby or his theme song before but now its stuck in my head forever

So this was basically Disneyland but for BBC TV shows.

I always wondered how this presenter was able to use a program on BBC (ie paid for by the license fees plus gov subsidy) to spin off a commercial enterprise like this. Answers on a postcard, please.

Nicely done I’m excited for what’s to come!!!!

Aw yeah! Expedition Theme Park uploaded, today is gonna be a great day!
