Jeremy Beadle was found dead next to a small glove. Detectives don't know the cause of death, but suspect the small glove had a hand in it.

Come on, Jeremy was a good guy. Let's stop taking the piss and all give him a big hand.

I normally frown upon humour at the expense of recently disabled dead folk
today, however, is a notable exception.

I don't think this thread has got out of line or nasty though. But that's probably because we're all pretty even-handed people here.

Why did the little girl fall off the roundabout?
Because she had Jeremy Beadle hands.

I've just heard that his good deeds are to be recognized with a commemorative watch.

Does anybody else refer to half a pint as a 'Beadle pint'?
Please tell me this was intentional...

One I remember vividly involved a guy delivering something to a household that turned out to be a small religious sect. They were amazed to see him and dragged him inside, where he saw a picture of himself made into a shrine. He made efforts to protest but then quickly seemed to relax into the role of being worshipped.
Many other very clever set ups hard to dismiss as childish pranks. Beadle had a small hand in many of the later copycat "pranks" programmes and his signature ingenuity overshadowed his piss poor imitators

I mean someone's died - how sad - but come on, He was Jeremy fucking Beadle!
It's not like he found a cure for cancer or created great art or anything.
He rotted minds.
I can only hope the Doctor who told him he had Pneumonia just couldn't resist the obvious - though rather dark - practical joke he could have played.
That'd learn im.
Oh and lay off Bob Monkhouse.
What?
Ok, anyone dying is pretty easy to dismiss as being over-exposed if it's featured in the media. Don't worry, it won't be in the papers tomorrow.
For many people like myself who grew up in the 80s, Beadle was a fucking hero, because he was a kinda strange looking man who made 'old people' (i.e. adults) get their just desserts. When you're 10 years old, seeing a bunch of uptight adults having the joke truly on them was absolute fucking gold. Hands down. On a weekly basis.
Beadle was on our side, dammit.
