1:29Now PlayingYou know Christmas is approaching when you hear Slade’s Noddy Holder loudly telling you it is, usually in a high street shop, on the radio or in the supermarket, possibly as early as October. In 1989 Noddy talked to Eamonn Holmes about the ongoing success of Slade’s massive hit ‘Merry Xmas Everybody’ and how the song continues to pay its way.
