Jeremy Beadle dies at 59

[Steve Crook]

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

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.

It was as David Brent in The Office: "Some comedians will have picked on other stuff, you know been more nasty. Like he's got a little withered hand, like Jeremy Beadle - I didn't mention it. No need."

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?

A children's ward should be named after him.

He should certainly be remembered for all his good work.
