Noel Edmonds opens the doors of his Great House in Crinkley Bottom, for another evening of light-hearted entertainment. This week's guests include TV's spoon-bending psychic Uri Geller, who fails to foresee the Gotcha that Noel has in store for him tonight.

Noel's House Party 6.55pm BBC1
Even the best laid plans sometimes go astray. Despite their usual care and attention to detail, the Gotcha team were faced with their biggest challenge when they decided to "get" Uri Geller.
Everything was in place: the actors and cameras in a Cotswold hotel whither Geller had been lured to take part in what he thought was an interview for Radio Times - surely a guarantee that there was nothing underhand afoot. The RT journalist (really a Gotcha fifth columnist) gets her spoon bent, but then things take a spooky turn. Gotchas will never be the same again.
