Ooookayyyy.
I wasn't going to ask but......
In the credits, there is a listing for Coops as "Nobacherie"
What on earth..........?
Anyone?????
(Don't laugh at me - I'm very old and sensitive - and somebody's grandmother.) |

He was listed under the same title for "Russian Roulette Reloaded" and I asked the same thing, and did get some stick for it.
Derren seems quite keen on using words that don't crop up in everyday use, so it probably just means "assistant".
And yes, I'm old enough to be a granny too. (I'm not, though).
Now go away you pesky young 'uns and find the answer for us old folk, from this new technology that we keep hearing about.

You're probably right Draggy, considering the sense of humour DB like to put across.

Maybe it's French for "no batteries".

I can come up with an explanation but its probably libellous and so publishing it here would get me banned forever

Haha!
Well, "cherie" means "darling" and maybe the "noba" means "knobber".
Darling knobber?
Hmm - perhaps the rumours were true.  |

I really wouldn't know, 'cos I don't have any of those either.

Noba is a brand name of medical supplies available in many Middle Eastern countries. Maybe this is where Derren gets his plasters from.
Coops is responsible for applying these plasters after Derren has cut himself shaving.
This also explains why it appeared on the Russian Roulette credits. Coops was waiting just off camera with one of these, just in case it all went horribly wrong...

Being bored at work, I thought I'd have a Google around to see if it might have something to do with someone named 'Nobach' who was maybe an assistant or summat. Therefore, if you do assisting work, you could call it 'Nobacherie'. For example "I followed him round, picked up his litter, opened his mail and did various other bits of Nobacherie." No luck with that one.
I've now come to the conclusion that the only thing Coops did was come up with various, exciting ways to prevent Derren from listening to his favourite composer on the bus, hence 'Nobacherie'.
It's a stretch.

I'm afraid my smutty mind comes back with
Knob Achery
Which is actually one R away from Knob Archery, which is an experimental Olympic sport.

Actually, It's the most sensible explanation yet!
No Bach -erie.

| "Bâche" is French for tarpaulin, so a bâcherie would be a shop that sells tarpaulins. Erm.... |

Maybe nobacherie is an anagram.
How about
Ah, nice robe
Heroic Bean
Ace hero bin
Bacon Heir
Or maybe it means nothing and is just there to induce confusion!

In French, 'nouba' means 'party'. So perhaps Derren's offering to Coops:
'Nouba, chérie?'

Now that's got me thinking!! 
How about:
1. Stuck jelly tots in Derren's ears when he was asleep
2. Stuck CD down trousers and then gyrated provocatively
3. Used subliminal suggestion to make Derren crave a Spice Girls CD instead
4. Put Derren in a go-kart and towed him behind the tour bus
5. Taped the CD to a computer screen displaying the DB Forum
