I was in the studio audience for Game For A Laugh circa 1985. I had recently torn my hamstring and couldn't bend my leg. I sat at the end of the row with my leg in the aisle. Beadle spotted this from the top of the stairs where they used to run down from. He ran down and nicked my shoe and sock. In the opening of the show as he ran down the stairs you can see my bare foot sticking out.
My parents have it VHS, I might stick it on Youtube!
He was a very clever man. He used to do a radio show on LBC Sunday nights in the late 70's. It was excellent.
I liked him.
Easy to form opinions one way or another on TV people you've never met, but i'll say i really enjoyed listening to him on the radio, a very intelligent guy, and sad to hear this news.
Beadles about was fantastic TV never missed it when younger.
the people going nutts when their porch had been destoyed or windows not in compliance with building regs blinding absolutely belly larffing marvellous.
RIP mr Beadle done alot for lukemia charities as well without always shouting about it
I used to love the LBC show - something like 10PM to midnight on Sunday evenings, he made some good TV programmes, but there was too much ratings chasing car crash TV in there which I think he recognised and so he did other stuff when that started to get repetitive.
[cite]Posted By: Fish[/cite]Decent bloke and made millions for charity too. I thought he was funny.
RIP
Been reading about him, can't say i was a fan of his show, but it was a rating winner, but more to the point was the work that he did for charity and that deserves the OBE he got. When you look around at some of the people that get these awards, you don't realise that there are people around who really do work for theirs.
Mind you, I half expect him to jump out fo the coffin at the funeral .. now that would be a classic jape

He also made millions for leukaemia research.
Remember the bloke with the white transit van when he pushed it into the water with all his livelihood in the back of the van. classic!
I did hear yesterday morning that he was slipping away. bless him.

He's been dealt a shite hand in life really.
In the Graveyard slot.
