pogofish Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Poor Beadle.Life dealt him a bad hand, that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue Denim.. Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 He really was a big celebrity..... but on the other hand etc....Sadly missed. A bit of a personal hero in a way as he was an keen amateur magician (and member of the magic circle) as well as a TV joker. Perhaps this is his biggest TV joke yet. He'll pop up in a false beard and glasses and tell his wife she's been on Beadles About! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Steven Dedalus Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Poor Beadle.Life dealt him a bad hand, that's for sure.Nice one...But seriously, folks...In a weird twist of fate, it has turned out that Jeremy Beadle's last interview was with.....ME!!!!I was producing a radio programme just before christmas, and on our boxing day show, we had Beadle on it....and now he's dead.I feel weird.

Guest Steven Dedalus Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 brb calling the copsI don't blame you. This isn't the first time this has happened either.In 2006, I took part in what turned out to be Northern Irish politician David Ervine's last ever interview.it was about facial hair, and I was the other guest.Hopefully I don't have the touch of death.Although if I do, I have a few enemies that I'm going to smite.

Guest Steven Dedalus Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Don't care.I killed a celebrity, beloved of the whole nation (as this thread proves...ahem.)I deserve some respect.I mean, how many of us on here can legitimately* claim to have killed a celebrity?*Steven Dedalus' lawyers would like to point out that he didn't actually kill Jeremy Beadle, he just spoke to him.

Scootray Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 You probably gave him a cold which due to ill health accelerated his pneumonia. You bastard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lepeep Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 holey moley!...that's outta the blue.I slap and beep at every traffic warden I see, thanks to my childhood of watching him!I do like the joke that he had a massive cock, on the other hand...it was pretty small.

lepeep Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Do you think at the funeral a bumbling fat family will knock over the coffin, and everyone will see his remains? (while a cheeky traffic warden with aviators on will tow his hearse away?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pogofish Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Hopefully I don't have the touch of death.You may be off the hook.

Lemonade Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 I think it's a bit unfair that he's been branded as this twatty figure to be made fun of- think back to the 80s with Beadles About, Game For A Laugh, etc. he was the king of Saturday night entertainment back then, and he was doing things nobody else was doing at the time, and are still copying to this day. And it was him who started You've Been Framed, which is still on. Plus he did a lot for charities and the likes. I'm actually quite saddened by the news and I think some of the "jokes" in this thread are in poor taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The man was a light entertainment giant in the 80s and deserves respect for what he achieved. Instead of ridicule we should all give him a big hand...
