The You've Been Framed! and Beadle's About star has died aged 59.

He shall be really missed,he made Saturday nights something to look forward too and he was a really good laugh. Our hearts and thoughts go out to his family.

I was caught by Jeremy over 20 years ago for an edition of "Beadles About". Having got over the embarrassment of being "stitched up" by my so called friends, Jeremy was concerned that if I didn't want to have my humilation broadcast on national television, then he would destroy the tapes.

I'm glad I agreed for it to go ahead, as some months after the show was broadcast, I was invited to appear on the "6o'clock Show" to exact my revenge on Mr Beadle, which I duly did.

I was able to take my two young daughters with me, and after the show, Jeremy had them in fits of laughter with his jokes and antics. They even exchaged Xmas cards, and speaking to them last night, they still remember that day with affection.

Jeremy made people laugh, and that is a rare talent today, he also, as is well known raised thousands of pounds for his selected charities, aware from the glare of self publicity, which affect so many so called professionals nowadays.

I will miss you Jeremy, a little bit of humour has left my life with your passing, however for the brief 15 minutes of fame, that I had with you, I will be forever grateful.

Wherever you are, I'm sure the laughter is loud and long. 

Truly a pioneer in T.V, made us all laugh at other people's expense, but always in a humerous way. Will be sadly missed by those that enjoyed his humour. Will be missed by those of Ticehurst, East Sussex, where he was well known locally, as his mum lived there. He will always be remembered for his setups and stunts. The world has lost a great comedian and charity fundraiser.

Having grown up watching jeremy beadle on the tv i was very saddened indeed to hear of his passing.When i was younger i used to love saturday night tv.Game for a laugh,beadles about and you`ve been framed.All fantastic shows that were great entertainment not like some of the rubbish on the tv nowadays.Thanks jeremy beadle for making me laugh out loud on those saturday nights.Take it easy up there and i`m sure the laughter will go on.And finally remember the star of the show was you.

 

I was an Eighties child and grew up watching Jeremy. His programmes were revolutionary - TV involving members of the public in such a big way. And at the same time, hilarious - i remember always looking forward to watching Beadles About at the weekends, and every now and again i catch the repeats on satellite.

 Ive just watched the best bits of Beadle on this website - the gag about the alien and the dog toilet are fantastic and brought tears to my eyes. Timeless comedy from a man who was well ahead of his time in telly land.

 Im now lucky enough to work in the media, giving me an even deeper awareness of how clever Jeremy was when it came to great television. You were taken from us too soon  -its a shame we didnt see you gracing our boxes one more time. Have fun with your pal Bob Monkhouse up there - i bet the laughs are flowing! RIP

i was so upset to hear the news about jeremy beadle.

its allways so upseting when someone like this dies.

my prayers go out to all his family and friends.

a devoted fan

He was a true tv talent. I hope itv keep this site running as a permanant memorial for a comedy legend.

Jeremy Beadle will be sadly missed. I was one of the few to be "used" to set-up some unsuspecting members of the studio audience back in October 1981."Yesterday's Prehistoric man Today" was the introduction by Sarah. While Sarah and I was off to film in Covent Garden, Jeremy and Matthew looked after my Wife and Daughter at the Studio, watching me on monitors.Memories are all we have. God bless, Sleep well - you've earned it.

Rest in peace mate...

thanks for all your laughs which me and my family used to enjoy watching on a friday and saturday night.
And thanks for all your charity work... All the best.

I was deeply saddened to hear the sad news of the loss of one of Britains funniest and caring men. I grew up watching "Beadle's about" and "You've been framed" (it was so much better when Jeremy hosted it!). My deepest sympathies go to his family. God bless you Jeremy, we will miss you!

I had the opportunity to work with Jeremy just last summer in his home, helping him organise his library of thousands and thousands of books. He was a pure gentleman and by far the most knowledgable man I have ever met. He had read every book in his collection, and answered my countless questions about different persons through history. Even off the screen he was hilarious, constantly cracking jokes with my friend and I, and though I only worked with him for a couple of weeks, I will never forget them. My heart goes out to his family, and I know his memory will live on!

He had so much warmth and kindness. He used his position to help all around him. He is a tribute to his proffession. God bless. Thanks for all the joy you have given everyone.

A very funny and very clever man who will be greatly missed.

Condolences go out to his family at this very sad time. 

 

I can't believe he has gone i remember watching you've been framed with jeremy beadle growing up it still has sunk in yet.Jeremy Beadle was the only one true prankster and all the charity work he did will live long in the fans lives
