Jeremy Beadle passes away

I met him a few years ago at a magic conference in Blackpool, I'd always thought he was a bit of a bell-end previously but I had a chat to him for a few minutes and he was a really nice guy and a very good Magician. This is a real shame.

I can never understand these kind of threads.

What point do they have? Unless you knew the man himself, you can really be that sad over his death.

no, people are paying their respects. Also, news has to spread in one form or another... I don't really watch TV so hear about things faster on here.

pneumonia?? Immuno deficient surely

Immunodeficiency -> consequential complications/other problems whose probability of causing severe illness rises sharply. Pnemonia is one such problem

Apart from the show being completely transparent, it was a good laugh on a Saturday evening.

The one where he recruits someone to work in the butchers, and increasingly became more like a vampire was probably the best IMO.

You've been framed > any clip show

Yes, he made good Saturday night viewing with Beadle's About.... Watch Out... Beadle's About... Watch out Beadle's About.... You Better Watch Out cos Beadle's About... You'd better watch out, Beadle's About!

RIP Jeremy

R.I.P.

Wasn't so keen on many of his shows (prank shows usually make me cringe), but do agree he was the best presenter of You've been Framed, and I never knew he had so much involvement with charity.

lolism · 31 Jan 2008 at 00:01

Damn... I just seen this on BBC News. What a shame. RIP

CoreRipOffDuo · 31 Jan 2008 at 00:03

You Been Framed sucked even more after he left.

Haiku · 31 Jan 2008 at 00:50

I was totally unaware of his substantial charitable efforts. Good on him.

RIP
