8. Barry Killerby (Mr. Blobby)
Everyone's heard of Mr. Blobby, right? But did you know that the man inside Noel Edmonds' pink and yellow-spotted creation was an actor in his own right? Probably not. Barry Killerby is both a minor TV actor and respected, classically-trained Shakespearean stage actor. Bet you didnt see that last part coming! His television credits include
ChuckleVision,
Never the Twain,
After the War,
After Henry,
The Monocled Mutineer and
Fresh Fields in a career that has spanned four decades, but none of his roles have come close to the high profile of the bumbling, loud, annoying and clumsy star of
Noel's House Party.
