NOEL Edmonds dressed up as his alter-ego Priscilla Prim as he begged fans not watch Noel's House Party online.
In the video, which first surfaced online at the time of Noel's bizarre bid to take over the BBC, the telly star, 69, criticises the broadcaster for wanting to be "precise" and not "accurate".
He said of his axed 90s TV show: "It's jolly good family entertainment.
"It's of the kind with which we no longer with to be associated.
"By watching Noel’s House Party and telling your friends about it, you’re reminding them of a bygone age, when we at the BBC had an entertainment department.
"This was closed down when we ran out of ideas of how to entertain the public in a way in which they found entertaining.

"Furthermore, this was family entertainment and these days we don’t entertain the idea of such a thing as a family."
The video then shows clips of Noel’s House Party and then describes itself as a "partly political broadcast".
It was originally uploaded to You Tube in 2016 to promote a new channel on YouTube dedicated to Noel’s House Party and memorable clips from the BBC show.
Noel has previously hit out at the BBC for rejecting his programme ideas.

He has said: “You see a worried look in executives’ eyes. They don’t want to take a risk.
"They claim they don’t have the money but in reality haven’t a clue what makes a hit show.
“Some clueless executives are dragging the BBC down. They have no idea what makes good TV or what people want to watch.”
He's also revealed plans to buy the BBC.
He said in 2014: "We believe that the BBC is sleepwalking itself to destruction and the BBC will be lost to Britain and we do not think that is right.
"This is a really serious situation where the BBC, because of its triple problems of the way in which it's been funded, historic baggage and the way in which it is used as a political football, its very future is in doubt.
"It's a patient that is now terminally ill.
"It needs another force from outside to cure it and make it fit for a world that we couldn't have envisaged 10 years ago."
