Noel Edmonds took to the road for two weekends in August, bringing the village of Crinkley Bottom to the racecourses at

Among the attractions were flying displays, sporting events, Noel & Mr Blobby's Its a Knockout, and the 'Crinkly bottom Roadshow', producing a 10 hour non stop celebrity showcase of music celebrities. "Crinkley Bottom can reasonably claim to be Britain's most famous village," says Edmonds. "This way, everybody gets the chance to be a villager for the day."
