Explosive 'real-life Cuckoo's Nest' doco that mental asylum bosses kept hidden for years
READ MORE: Kids' TV hosts now - Noel Edmonds bust-up, bitter feud and CBeebies co-star marriageThe documentary was filmed at Bridgewater State Hospital, in southern Massachusetts, in 1966 and scheduled for released the following year.Named after a talent show put on by staff at the asylum, the film was an unsettling watch.The hospital had originally been opened as a charitable facility offering shelter to people in the community, but was later converted to a workhouse for inmates with short sentences.By the 1960s, it housed the criminally insane and those whose sanity was being evaluated before court hearings.And in scenes akin to those in Milos Forman's 1975 movie adaptation of Ken Kesey's 1962 book, One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, patients were mistreated, mishandled and taunted by guards.Wiseman's film painted the institution negatively, highlighting inhumane conditions.It showed a patient telling a doctor that his condition wasn’t improving due to his environment while pleading to be let out.He is seen insisting to the medical professional that he is sane and that his issues are in fact being caused by the institution and medication he's being made to take, which he says is causing him more harm.However, his concerns are dismissed by the doctor.

What Noel Edmonds has been doing since Deal Or No Deal - cancer row to TV comeback
Noel Edmonds has enjoyed one of the most successful TV careers as a presenter in the UK, spanning five decades and countless appearances.Before he took on his most iconic job in Deal Or No Deal, he was hosted shows such as Top Of The Pops, Top Gear, Noel’s Party House and the National Lottery.The 73-year-old hasn’t had quite as successful a career after DonD was axed in 2016, but he was given a slate of new Channel 4 shows to choose from after.His first series after the cancellation was critically panned, and a cancer row with Holly Willoughby on This Morning made matters even worse.Channel 5 will be exploring Noel's TV career tonight at 9pm with Noel Edmonds: The Rise and Fall of Mr Saturday Night.The same year that DonD was axed, Noel made an appearance on This Morning and was questioned by Holly and Philip Schofield over a certain tweet.Noel had tweeted a cancer patient, asking if their "ill-health was a result of their negative attitude".He told the presenters that “negative energy” was to blame for his own previous battle with the disease, when the presenter was diagnosed with prostate cancer.Noel claimed that "positive energy" had cured him, along with a £2,300 electromagnetic pulse device.Philip took issue with his claim, saying: "Obviously people are going to get a little bit sceptical when you’re banging on about this £2,300 box - and you know the people who make it!"Later in the interview, Noel explained: "I don't say cancer was caused by the stress, but that my health deteriorated to such an extent I got prostate cancer.“I am absolutely sure the negative forces acting on me impacted on my health."There is a wealth of information from various clinical studies of a direct link between stress and cancer.

Noel Edmonds nearly quit TV after contestant died in 'darkest moment on prime-time'
recognisable names on UK television, having presented various shows including Deal or No Deal and Top of the Pops.But, despite amassing an estimated net worth of £73million, Noel has also struggled with failure, and saw his entertainment company collapse in 2005.READ MORE: Noel Edmonds' life - This Morning row, Deal or No Deal romance and company collapseNow, a new Channel 5 documentary, Noel Edmonds: The Rise & Fall of Mr Saturday Night has examined another tragic event on one of the star’s early TV shows that nearly ended the presenter’s career.One of Edmonds' first huge projects was the Late Late Breakfast Show, where viewers took part in dangerous stunts, often driving cars at high speeds and jumping them over long lines of parked vehicles.During the recording of one episode, viewer Michael Lush, who was recruited to bungee jump from a box suspended 120ft in the air by a crane, died when a clip came loose and he fell to the ground.Speaking on the documentary, Nick Ferrari, who was showbiz editor of The Sun newspaper at the time, described how the incident had come to happen.“One of the more popular segments was ‘Give it a Whirl’. Viewers at home could phone in and nominate someone, and the viewer with the stunt selected was given a week to do a film stunt, but more often than not the training only lasted a few days,” he explained.“When you study the footage it’s quite incredible how this was ever permitted, and it’s dealt with in such a jocular fashion.”And, looking back on the shocking day that the news broke, Nick described how he had been informed that a tragedy had occurred before phoning the presenters to confirm the news.“Noel Edmonds was a massive name.

Mr Blobby emerges from years in hiding to cause absolute chaos at wrestling match
pink and yellow nightmare-inducing giant creature was on everyone's television screens, accompanied by British television legend Noel Edmonds.But since the ending of TV show Noel's House Party, and the general ending of Noel's entire showbiz career when he moved to New Zealand a few years ago, the iconic being has hardly been seen.READ MORE: 'UK wrestling has long way to go for women's equality,' says bat-wielding brawler IvyThat is, until now and in a completely new role.During the weekend of Saturday August 13, and Sunday August 14, at the Gloworm Festival in Thoresby Park, a House of Pain Wrestling event was taking place.The main event was fan favourite Davey Thompson taking on HOP champion Brad Matthews, accompanied by bat-wielding female wrestler Ivy.And much to the surprise of the entire crowd, Mr Blobby turned up and was given the role of special guest referee – much to the annoyance of Ivy.The match, won by Thompson, had a chaotic ending which saw Ivy shouting at Blobby, who seemed confused about what his actual job was.The spotty creature took offence to this and shoved Ivy off the ring apron and onto the hay-filled giant tent floor.The crowd cheered and Thompson took advantage of the chaos to pin Matthews, with Blobby giving the three count – after some prompting from another referee at ringside.Video footage of the incident went viral online, although the actual match footage has been supplied to the Daily Star exclusively from House of Pain wrestling.Ivy tweeted: “How many of you have been in a wrestling match with the actual real Mr Blobby? Because I have and it was WILD.”One user commented: “This is the perfect mix of hilarious and terrifying.”While another wrote: “I wanna see Blobby at Mania, make it

Inside Noel Edmond's 'creepy' Blobbyland before it was bricked up forever
Mr Blobby will cause some kind of fever-dream like state of cold sweaty horror.And new images of the former site of Blobbyland are doing nothing to calm that feeling.In 1994, Mr Blobby was on everyone's television screens, accompanied by British television legend Noel Edmonds.Capitalising on this, Edmonds decided to open a theme park – and it only lasted two years.Based at the Cricket St Thomas Wildlife Park, Crinkely Bottom was marketed as Britain's first TV leisure park.It was also known as Blobbyland, and contained such incredibly named attractions such as “Animals of Farthing Wood” and “Fun Village”.And now pictures from inside the derelict nightmare-fuel site of the once (not very) popular attraction have surfaced.According to the experts at unofficial Blobbyland fan site Dunblobbin.com: “From its whimsical exterior through to its loopy 'Gunge Factory', nothing was going to seem normal in Blobbyland.“Just next to its entrance was Crinkley Bottom Haute Cuisine Emporium, a restaurant and café.“Attached to this was the Liszt and Newt pub, with a balcony that Mr Blobby was known to emerge.“Home videos and photos of Blobbyland tend to show Mr Blobby and his wife Mrs Blobby waving from the building's balcony, or prancing around in the makeshift chequerboard courtyard of the venue.“With a simple white fence to stop children running into the performance space, the Blobby family would greet visitors and stop for photos.”The site even had its own Mr Blobby House.Made of chicken wire and polystyrene, the odd-shaped bungalow contained a small yellow bridge which crossed into the front door.It was covered in plastic flowers, a giant pink mushroom, while a giant pink and yellow toilet was also found inside, and other weird things
