I don't expect, after having cancer twice, that his immune system was able to fight the pneumonia - how very sad.

RIP Jeremy.

YDSL x.
I believe that he kept his charity work quiet, he did not do a Geldof or a Bono and spout on about it. RIP Jeremy

Unhappy Sad about Jeremy
It was a real shock to hear Jeremy Beadle had died. I remember him for being really clever and knowledgable. Anyone remember him hosting a quiz show where the contestants had to beat his general knowledge? If they did, I think he gave them a cash prize from his own pocket. But he was so good, I don't think many people did!

Good stuff.

I always liked him and in a similar way, Noel Edmunds. Both had early evening entertainment shows that never went out to offend people but both Jeremy & Noel have taken some shocking stick over the years.

I'm sure their good works have been appreciated by the beneficaries anyway. why do they get so much stick?

Sadly Harley, being kind and having good manners is now seen as a weakness by certain sections of society.

I'm open to being proved wrong here but in the soaps it does appear that those who display the above qualities are deemed weak, ineffectual and without personality.

When we have Tony Blair saying in the awful Katherine Tate sketch show 'Am I bovvered' well that says it all really.

Sorry to hijack JB's thread like that.

Terrible isn't it. You'll have the leader of the Tories trying to look cool and "down with the youth" by wearing a baseball cap next.

It's not a party issue. All politicians are as bad as each other.

Was it Harold Wilson who started the trend of appearing on tv shows to 'broaden his appeal'?

Kinnock did the pop video with a girl who's name I forget, Thatcher appeared on Yes Minister.

There's a decent tribute to Beadle in this week's Time Out: did you know he was one of the first 10 staffers employed by the nascent mag, based at first in Holland Park?
What fcuker said that?
