Hi Murray, It was one of the 'Sykes' series with Hattie Jaques- can't remember what year but probably early-mid seventies? Beeb will know. The story-line was, Eric had got himself a job in a factory making metal washers on a special machine and caused the usual mayhem causing a dispute with the union. Noel played a non-speaking part as a member of the 'committee', looked quite funny - this huge character in an ill-fitting brown work coat just nodding every now and then. I think Noel's appeared in other things including pro-celebrity golf!!
