That's really sad. He was a funny man.
“Above all, I would like to be remembered as a man who was selfless, who strove and worried so that others could share the glory, and who built up a family of people who could hold their heads up high and say, 'We're Liverpool'.” - Bill Shankly

Very sad news. There was much more to the man than his public persona. My thoughts are with his friends and family. :(
...and in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.

Do you think the undertaker is going to pull off a false beard at the last moment. Sorry, poor taste but who wasn't thinking it?

Am I wrong, or is that the third person that's died with pneumonia this week?

Heath Ledger (OK, he didn't die of it, but he did have it when he died.)

Christian Brando

And now Jeremy Beadle?
I don't believe in Bondi. I don't believe in rugby league. I believe in Yoko, John Lennon, the Lost Weekend and me.

British television stars have paid tribute to Jeremy Beadle, who died on Wednesday aged 59.

The star, a stalwart of Saturday night TV during the 1980s and 1990s, died in hospital after a short battle with pneumonia.

His wife, Sue, and close friends were at his bedside.

He had battled ill health in recent years, having been diagnosed with cancer in 2005.

Beadle was one of ITV's best known faces for more than 15 years, regularly pulling in audiences in excess of 15 million for shows such as Beadle's About and You've Been Framed.

Henry Kelly, Beadle's co-presenter on Eighties hidden camera show Game For A Laugh, said: "Jeremy and I were firm friends for nearly 30 years. I loved and admired him and I shall miss him desperately.

"Not only was he a terrific colleague in our Game For A Laugh days and beyond, but he was a most wonderful friend to have and the most entertaining company you could possibly imagine."

Game For A Laugh ran from 1981-1985 and also featured Matthew Kelly and Sarah Kennedy.

Ms Kennedy said: "I'm very, very sad for him and his family to know that he's gone."

Noel Edmonds, Beadle's one-time BBC "rival" said it was "a sad loss for TV and a great shame that a new audience have lost Jeremy Beadle".
