Noel's House Party

***Noel's House Party*** is a BBC light entertainment series that was hosted by Noel Edmonds. Set in a large house in the fictional village of Crinkley Bottom, leading to much innuendo, it ran from 23 November 1991 to 20 March 1999 on BBC One, and for 8 series was broadcast live on Saturday evenings. The show, once described by a senior corporation executive as "the most important show on the BBC", was cancelled in February 1999 due to declining ratings, although two further compilation specials were shown in March 2000. In 2010, *Noel's House Party* was voted the best Saturday night TV show of all time. In August 2022, an episode of the show, the tenth episode of the first series (originally broadcast on 1 February 1992), was repeated on BBC Four. This marks the first time since 2000 that the show has been broadcast on the BBC.

## Connection to The Detectives

At the end of Acting Constables, Dave and Bob chase Simon onto the set of the show, While Noel is speaking to the audience.

Frank Windsor

Frank Windsor pictured at a 2002 reunion of the Z-Cars cast.

**Frank Windsor Higgins** known professionally as **Frank Windsor**, was an English actor, primarily known for his roles on television.

## Biography

Windsor attended Queen Mary's Grammar School, Walsall, and studied speech training and drama at the Central School of Speech and Drama, then based at the Royal Albert Hall, London. He played Detective Sergeant John Watt in Z-Cars from 1962 to 1965, and thereafter its spin-offs Softly, Softly (1966–1969), Softly, Softly: Taskforce (1969–1976), Jack the Ripper (1973), and Second Verdict (1976). He appeared as "Tobin" in Series 6, Episode 9 of The Avengers.

In 1969, he appeared in the pilot episode of Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased) in the episode "My Late Lamented Friend and Partner" as Sorrensen, a wealthy businessman with a murderous streak. His lighter side was demonstrated in the pilot episode of the situation comedy The Dustbinmen in 1968, and as Scoutfinder General in an episode of The Goodies.

From 1987 to 1989, he starred in the comedy drama Flying Lady written by Brian Finch. He also starred as a rather old-fashioned headmaster grappling with problems in education in Headmaster, which started as a single play in Play for Today in 1974. It was expanded into a six-part series in 1977.

He had regular roles in the BBC drama Casualty; the ITV drama Peak Practice; he played Major Charlie Grace in EastEnders (1992); appeared twice in Doctor Who; had various stage roles, and in his later years appeared in television commercials advertising life-assurance policies for people over 50. He was the subject of This Is Your Life on 3 December 1975 when he was surprised by Eamonn Andrews at the Metropolitan Police Sports Club in East Molesey.

Don Henderson

Henderson in White Angel (1994)

**Donald Francis Henderson** was an English actor. He was known for playing both "tough guy" roles and authority figures, and is remembered for his portrayal of detective George Bulman between 1976 and 1987 in the popular Granada Television police drama series *The XYY Man*, *Strangers*, and *Bulman*, as priest Frank Kane in BBC drama *The Paradise Club* (1989–90), and as General Tagge in the first *Star Wars* film (1977). This last role also brought him attention from science fiction fans, and he later appeared in cult science fiction television series *Red Dwarf* and *Doctor Who*.

## Biography

He lived in his adopted home town of Stratford-upon-Avon for many years, where he was a familiar face to locals. He also had several minor roles at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre in the town. Prior to becoming an actor, Henderson was a dental technician in the Army, a detective sergeant with the Essex Constabulary, and an insurance salesman.

## Career

Henderson is best remembered for his role as the fictional detective George Bulman. This character featured in three TV series *The XYY Man* in the mid-1970s; the later *Strangers* that saw Bulman rise from Detective Sergeant to Detective Chief Inspector and, in 1985, the series *Bulman* saw George retired from the police and pursuing a career as a horologist. He also starred in the popular TV drama series *Warship*.

Henderson made little money from his role in Star Wars—£300 for one day of filming. He also missed out on $2000 for his copy of the Star Wars script:

> "I have only once been recognised as having been in Star Wars, and that was when I was making a film in Los Angeles. Somebody in the hotel I was staying at offered me $2000 for my copy of the Star Wars script. As I growled at him in amazement, he took that as a refusal, or that he had offered too little and eventually went up to an offer of $5000! Sadly, as with all my used scripts, I had given it to my kids to scribble and draw on."

 Original release
28 December 1997

***The Detectives*** is a British comedy television series, starring Jasper Carrott, Robert Powell, and George Sewell. It aired on BBC One from 1993 to 1997, and was a spoof of police dramas. It was written by Mike Whitehill and Steve Knight.

## Concept

*The Detectives* originated from a recurring sketch that first appeared on Jasper Carrott's sketch/stand-up show *Canned Carrott*. Because of its success, it was turned into a television series. There were a few differences from the sketch to the TV series, such as Dave Briggs being married in the sketch (to Brenda), yet both he and Louis are single and hopeless at romance in the series, and according to one plotline both virgins.

Jasper Carrott and Robert Powell play the bumbling detective constables Bob Louis and David Briggs. They were bad at their job, to the despair of their "super" Frank Cottam (played by Sewell). However, they usually ended up solving their cases and retaining their jobs, though they came close to being sacked on occasion. Louis was more downbeat, whereas Briggs tried to emulate the gung-ho cops shown on TV and in film.

The BBC itself compared it to the series *Special Branch* (1969–74), mostly because George Sewell "clearly enjoyed the chance to hark back to his old police role" in that series. Mark Lewisohn compared it to *The Sweeney' (1975–78) Sewells role being "a deadpan spin on that series' Chief Inspector Haskins (Garfield Morgan)". Moreover, the original sketches were introduced by a blue-tinted sequence and musical score that parodied* The Sweeney*'s opening titles.*

Each episode showcased different guest stars, and some of them played the same characters they played in other television series. An example is Leslie Grantham's appearance as Danny Kane from *The Paradise Club* – in another episode, John Nettles and Terence Alexander reprised their roles from *Bergerac*.

All of the episodes have been released on DVD.

In 2012, BBC1 broadcast a one-off sketch show *The One Jasper Carrott* (part of a series showcasing various comedians) which included an extended sketch about Briggs and Louis having formed an incompetent private detective agency, Sherlock and Holmes.
Gracy Goldman

**Gracy Goldman**, sometimes credited as **Grace Mattaka**, was born and raised by her mother in North London before the family moved to Holland when she was 9. Her father had been a political prisoner in Tanzania for almost 10 years under Idi Amin. His release prompted the Dutch government to then take them under its wing.

She moved back to London aged 16 to complete her schooling and went on to train in film and theatre at The Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. She is an actress best known for her roles in Breeders (2020), Doctor Who (2005) and her time with Royal Shakespeare Company: Royal Shakespeare Company: Richard II (2013). Gracy speaks fluent Dutch which she used as 'Bakkersvrouw' on the set of Klokkenluider (2022) directed by Neil Maskell and 'Gerda' on the set of Sense8 (2015) directed by Lana Wachowski.

In 1980 Harper started on the BBC's director's course. Doctor Who: The Caves of Androzani: Part One (1984) was the first job he got as a freelance director after working on Angels (1975) for Julia Smith. Harper went on to direct one further Doctor Who (1963) story, Doctor Who: Revelation of the Daleks: Part One (1985), and was also to have directed the third story in the abandoned season twenty-three, which would have been either Philip Martin's "Mission to Magnus" or Robert Holmes's "Yellow Fever and How to Cure It".

Harper quickly became one of the industry's most competent and sought-after directors, working on almost every popular drama series in the UK. In 1993, he was scheduled to direct "The Dark Dimension", the ultimately aborted 30th anniversary Doctor Who (1963) story.

Fig

* Current
* Development
* Eroded

**Fig** is one of the three protagonists of *Objective Criticism*. He is a whole wheat fig bar voiced by Daniel Adam Valle.

## Appearance

Fig is a tan whole wheat pastry with brown freckles and a sweet fig fruit filling overflowing from the top. He is the one of the smallest objects in the show.

## Personality

Fig is a bashful, polite, introverted, and ever-so-slightly pessimistic character that struggles to open up to anyone else. Others may see him as sweet and discreet, some mistaking this as if he's hiding something.

## History

Prior to moving to Port Aragon, Fig worked at a concession stand in his town's local theater selling snacks and drinks to moviegoers. Having been out of high school, he felt settled and contempt with his lifestyle. He also runs an indie podcast fittingly named *Figcast.* In high school he met Badge, an avid bully and jerk to Fig consistently throughout their high school career.

Fig was falsely reported by Badge as dangerous for refusing service after a fallout with him and his friends at the movie theatre, which led into an unwarranted police investigation that forced Fig to go on the run for a crime he didn't commit. After being caught, arrested, and put on trial, Fig won the court case against him and managed to sue Badge $25,000 for false arrest. Fig returned to his job at the movie theatre shortly after with a promotion.

Realizing his social life had been stagnant for a long time, Fig pushes himself to audition for the Eroded competition in hopes to make new friends and memories along the way. With the money he won from his court case, he pays the travel costs to attend the competition where he meets Chap, Teewee, Toma, and Net.

After the competition ends, Fig decides to move into downtown Port Aragon not only for a change of pace but to also stay close to most of the people he met in the competition.

## Coverage

### Non-canon

In Battle 4 Amazon, Fig seems to appear at the beginning of the short on the floor before turning around to reveal he's actually Jeff Bezos. He doesn't actually appear until the end of the short at his open doorway, being cut off as he says, "What the fu-?!"
