Watch Out, Beadle’s About
Sad news arrived at Dunne Towers today. The legendary TV Presenter and prankster Jeremy Beadle has died. I remember watching Game For A Laugh, Beadle’s About and You’ve Been Framed during my ill-spent youth. I also had the great pleasure of meeting him when he came to the Isle of Man many years ago.
Well, I say meeting him, but that’s not wholly accurate. More I had the great childhood pleasure of being elbowed out of the way by burly adults seeking his autograph and getting my mum to queue and shove on my behalf all for a name-like scribble. I don’t remember what happened to that piece of paper but hopefully I still have it.
Sad day, sad day.
