[Mr. Tea]

Well it's goodbye to the old joker:

I hope someone 'pranks' his funeral. I'm sure it's what he'd have wanted.

We should all give him a big hand.

Beadle was a learned man with a massive library and a particular interest in the Dark Arts.


Mind what you say.

possibly one of the most offensive things ive ever seen in a newspaper (The Sun)- they had a centerspread which consinted of a close up on mr Beadles hand with the legend "Gammy For a Laugh"!

 

[straight]

fate truly dealt him a bad hand.

when they announced it on the news i thought he'd done a barrymore of some sort, they gaffed and showed a vid of a prison guard leading a man to a cell

Are you saying he followed the 'left hand path'?

yes he wrote a book called todays the day a chronicle of the curious and a book of miscellany, he was somewhat of a fortean...
he must have been the only mainstream tv person to actually have an open disability no?

 

[Lichen]

I reckon so.

And that was the least of the struggles he overcame. His obit made interesting reading. He was made of serious stuff.

Yeah he had a little bit on TVAM by the same name, tho this clip doesn't show it, it often featured bizarre and macabre happenings:


True Story: I almost got run over by Jeremy Beadle. I was crossing the street as he U -turned out of a parking space outside Sainsburys, as I jumped back out of the way of the 4x4, our eys met, it was him! Later, after thinking through what nearly just happened, I was seroiusly shaken..
