Yeah. And then he changed the name of his programme, so it was a little bit different.
He should have taken a chill pill.
Was that when he had a replica of his car pushed in a canal or something
Nope. I know the one you mean but it wasent him. This guy just went OTT and started shoving people about and looked like he was going to deck someone. Think beadle was either a traffic warden on playing someone from the council boss.
Was it Noel, -personally him?
Or was it a stunt on the show that the people setting it up got it wrong?
How can anyone be SO stupid as to think an OBVIOUSLY plastic model was a real alien ?? FFS !
I watched it when it went out and was astounded at the stupidity of that woman.
Did he really? Wow, they hushed up that one, I thought it was a stunt that went tragically wrong, didn't realise Noel shot him.
You met them both then?
Except it was a completely different show.
I will agree Noel is utterly vile, something about him gives me the creeps but Beadle was alright,. He had a hard life battling one illness after another (Poland Syndrome, Cancer of the Kidney, Chronic Lymphoid Leukemia and Pneumonia) but he was also a very intelligent man. And lets not forget he did raise over 100 million for charity.
There was a good programme about Jeremy Beadle after his death, despite what some think they did take care to avoid upsetting people and few (if any) objected afterwards.
Jeremy Beadle did not pick on random people (as far as I can remember), his 'victims' had been put forward by relative or friends who would have a good idea how they would react and I would not be surprised if the programme checked with others about how they would react.
He gives me the creeps too.
He looked okay in his Swap Shop days, but these days he just looks weird.
Perhaps it's the beard ?
I can't stand Deal Or No Deal, especially the ones where they all dress up.
From what i remember the youth died as the result of heart failure and already had a heart condition. It was the show Edmonds fronted with Mike Smith and the stunt finished the show off.
It was long before 'elf 'n safety and the PC lot moved in and took things to the other extreme.
Obvious link but still funny.

You probably want to Wiki the Bungee jump accident appears there were HnS failures.
Not sure what PC has got do with stunts and HnS.
Then again it's alright been dismissive of HnS when it's not you who's liable to end up getting hurt.
As far as TV/Film is concerned generally it's insurance and damaging the 'talent' they're worried about, Helen Skelton seemed to do the odd stunt for Blue Peter.
Old Danny Baker show stunt, featuring one of his co-presenters, I just remembered.
This all a bit OT, people signed the release forms so the footage could be aired, at the end of the day.
It was a van in fact. I always thought that "prank" was extremely cruel. The guy was watching his van (and presumably his livelihood) being dumped into a river and sinking under the water. With friends like that (the people who set it up), who needs enemies.
Its clips from Beadles about and Noel Edmonds Gotcha
