Jeremy Beadle is DEAD!

[Mentalist]

Beadle was always one of those "relic cheesy guy presenters" in recent years but he was a really nice bloke and part of all of our childhoods growing up so it stings that he has passed. Another element of childhood erased forever.

And fuck ITV.

 

[CaptainWacky]

Who next? Wolf from Gladiators?

 

[Fuddlemiff]

Tony Hart.

 

[CaptainWacky]

Umm, hate to tell you this, but...

 

[Fuddlemiff]

No, he's still alive. He is supposed to be ill though.

 

[CaptainWacky]

I actually did think he was dead until I looked him up.

Is Morph still alive?

 

[whisky]

Barely, they have him on a plastercine drip

 

[CaptainWacky]

Bagpuss must be long gone by now.

 

[Fuddlemiff]

Hang in there, Wacky.

AND WHAT OF DONKEY KONG

 

[CaptainWacky]

What would be awesome is if something went horribly wrong at this funeral (Mathew Kelly smashes up the coffin or something) and everyone's crying and distraught and then a MAN IN A FAKE BEARD walks up to the front and starts to perform a special eulogy and Lenny Henry jumps up and says he's being disrespectful and grabs him by the beard and pulls it off and, yes, IT'S BEADLE HE FAKED HIS DEATH THE ULTIMATE PRANK!

Poor taste.
