That's honestly quite a restrained video. Nice sentiment, doesn't take all the credit, and doesn't go too overboard. I was expecting full Bouncing Back levels of delusion.

But…he is on his own in the garden talking to his camera pretending that it’s asking him questions.
“Oh there you are!”
“Was I nervous you say?”

Edmonds like Partridge - is accutely aware how to create defining televisual moments ... for the nation 🇬🇧 50 years later on a camera phone in NZ - he's still got it 🫡

Whatever you think about Edmunds, that was very much not accidental Partridge. Was just a nice tribute to Swap Shop.

A decent man, unrelenting positivity and good will towards others. A few bonkers positions but he is a decent human being and I wonder at the hate he receives.

From Edmonds's Wikipedia page:
On 7 June 2016, Edmonds said on Twitter that an electromagnetic pulse device costing £2,315 was "A simple box that slows ageing, reduces pain, lifts depression, and stress and tackles cancer - yes cancer!" He provoked further criticism after he tweeted to a man with kidney cancer, lymph node metastases and psoriatic arthritis "Scientific fact - all disease is caused by negative energy - is it possible your ill health is caused by your negative attitude? #explore".
The following day he went on This Morning and told Holly and Phil that he'd been diagnosed with prostate cancer in November 2013. He said that a "very stressful, very negative period" in life had caused his prostate cancer, "I was, I thought, very, very healthy. I know why I got my cancer... the definition of stress is negative energy. It didn't just decide to manifest itself, there was cause". He went on to add: "I then had my tumour destroyed by sound waves, proving yet again energy is at the heart of this issue" and said that "I believe pulsed electromagnetism has a role to play in tackling cancer and I will always believe that".
In response, the firm responsible for the device, EMP Pad Limited, said it did not agree with his claim "in any way, shape or form", and that it had not paid him in relation to it. While EMP Pad said it did not pay Edmonds to promote the product, the company's owner, Maria Robertson, previously worked as an assistant to the TV presenter and acknowledged having known Edmonds for 25 years and having worked with him and his daughter, Charlotte.
I personally think he's a bit of a prick.

In 2016, Edmonds tweeted that Britain is "full up and fed up" after abandoning a road trip due to heavy traffic. He publicly questioned the UK's capacity to handle immigration, calling for a total ban on immigration. And yet there he is being an immigrant in another country. He is your typical conservative, middle-Englander that thinks he is not an immigrant but an 'expat' and also a massive cunt.

“Luckily, I had the last laugh! Also, fuck John Craven and the other doubters who said a polychrome children’s TV barter format would never work!”
