Farewell Jeremy

It's always a sure sign that you're getting older when the obituary pages start to include people you actually remember watching when you were younger.

And so, sadly, it is the case today as I see that Jeremy Beadle has moved on.

I seem to remember he got a lot of stick back in the day but now I can't think for what as Beadle's About and You've Been Framed were always the talk of the playground, highly creative and genuinely funny so viewing figures must have been huge. And I didn't actually realise Jeremy was awarded an MBE for services to charity.

So a sad day and the tributes from people who knew him show he was a good man indeed.
