It literally makes no sense, unless it’s supposed to be some play on “buggering about”but even then it makes absolutely no sense. He should have called it the “tackle inn ( cancer)” much better pun.
Yes I saw that. If he was a gullible fool and said that his yoga mat or the electro magnetic box could CURE cancer he’d be liable for prosecution under the 1939 cancer act, but he’s not gullible. He used the word “tackle”, which everyone knows means cure, but stops him from being prosecuted for quackery. I have always been a massive fan of his TV work. Amazing ability to charm a tv audience, likeable and funny, but that purposeful use of “tackle” opened the curtains enough for me.
You should listen to the Osman/Hyde take. They don’t go in quite as hard as you (though you sense Hyde wants to) but manage to cover his personality, success, failure, genius, idiocy very well. Deep down, I feel, he is not happy. Or deep down he knows there’s a chasm between who he thinks he is and reality. Osman nails it.
I saw a little bit of that, ( teaser ) I sensed that Osman was being a bit careful. Which is fine and also he knows him better than me. lol. Yeh I think Edmonds is at a loss why he isn’t lauded in the UK anymore. I don’t wish him any ill, just a small injection of humility and self awareness. Xxx
76??!! I thought he must be in his late 80s or early 90s! He’s only 14 years older than me, and I watched him on Swap Shop as a kid (then quickly defected to the far superior Tiswas), and he seemed old then. Weird.
The non-working ‘joke’ title of The Bugger Inn has REALLY been bothering me, too. (There are a lot of things to be bothered by in this show, as you say, but this conundrum has stayed in my head like a splinter).
‘Evil Ewok Head’ as Alan Partridge calls his nemesis.
Edmonds is a dangerous nutjob, going on about ‘negative energy’ causing cancer, and that he cured his prostate cancer with a £2000 ‘electromagnetic pad’.
Trumpian level of self-delusion and ignorance of science.
He must be paying some PR firm a hell of a lot of money to rehabilitate his image.
He’s a twat. “Tackles cancer” should be enough for anyone to realise he’s either a gullible fool or a conman. Informed me
my cancer was caused by my negative energy, told me that was a “scientific fact” apparently.
Yeah I put the cancer bit in for you Vaun. Mostly his ideas are harmless hokum but that one was disgusting. Bugger inn a close second though.

I didn't know his middle name was Ernest. Quite a legacy to live up to if anyone happens to have that name or contraction thereof I'd say.

You just transported me back a few decades! Tiswas absolutely was superior.
also his final Twitter post is quite magnificent: https://x.com/NoelEdmonds/status/1606757000897069056
