Is this eccentric documentary about the retired TV host about to become a cult classic? Plus: Alison Hammond meets Tony Bellew. Here’s what to watch today
9pm, ITV1Noel Edmonds is an unusual man. On the face of it, this series simply documents his attempts to open a bar-restaurant in New Zealand with his wife, Liz. But the fun is in the journey not the arrival. Edmonds is obsessed with new-age woo, spending time on his “crystal bed” and practising a workout regime he calls “tranquil power”. He’s also startlingly excited about his nail gun, calling it “a sex toy”, and regards Liz as “an earth angel” believing she was “a gift from the cosmos”. An eccentric cult classic in the making.

The latest ep of The Rest Is Entertainment was mostly about the Noel doc, and it sounds pretty interesting. Probably not as interesting as hearing Richard Osman trying to stay right on the line between “Noel Edmonds is the most talented presenter I’ve ever worked with” and “he’s a crackpot and a conman, and tried to sell people a magical beep machine to cure their cancer”. 😬
