Jeremy Beadle has died

[NAB3wishesfor2008]

that must have been scary califrau.

people with leukemia often die of Pneumonia or another opertunistic infection.

The leukemia doesn't kill them directly, but because it means they can't fight infections effectivly it does hasten their end IYSWIM

just seen it on the new bulletin what-sit - heard he was ill but still quite a and .

DH's mum died from pneumonia 8yrs ago, otherwise fit and healthy - very scary

I have just heard this on The One Show.

So

I met his son at a very crazy party at my cousins house many many years ago. I met him last summer at a charity event he compared.

A shame so young.

DH has hospitalised a couple of very young babies with pneumonia over xmas and new year. Very scary and upsetting.

'You've been framed' is my dc favourite programme.

I know his type of humour has been out of favour in recent years but he was very popular during the 80s and 90s.

Poor bloke - and family of course.

'You've been framed' was hilarious

i heard on bbc news a while ago. Terribly sad and untimely

he was really funny

Blimey -

Sad, but expected I think.

I was shocked too. Haven't heard much of him recently but remember seeing him on TV some years ago now talking very openly about male infertility. Not sure if he was infertile but they certainly struggled to have their children - he knew his wife was OK as she had 2 already. He talked very openly about cold showers and wearing boxers etc to improve sperm levels etc.

Very sad.

Blimey. Not a fan but what a sad thing for a person to die so young.

Poor man. Pneumonia is awful. DD2 has had it three times (she is very vulnerable to anything lung related)and my much-loved aunty died from it last year.

He always seemed like a really nice bloke (albeit very annoying in his Beadle's About persona) and I've been reading lots of tributes from people who knew and worked with him, and about his charity fundraising.

It is very sad and 59 is so young

blimey

I remember his late night show on LBC about 30 years ago, before he got into tv- much better than his later work imo

Oh no. He was a part of my childhood really. And so young. Feel very sad for him and his family

How sad

I think he was widely regarded as a bit cheesy in latter years but we all watched You've Been Framed and Beadle's About when I was young.

I'm not a particular fan of Jeremy Beadle but this is very sad news, poor man. It makes you realise just how fragile our hold on life can be.

That's really sad. He's one of those people who's always been there, through my whole life.

It's obviously weird death month.

Mind you, I have to say I pmsl when my brother just sent me a text saying 'watch out - Beadle's not about'

That's so sad. I rememeber him most in Game for Laugh.
