I thought this was a joke, on the name of one of his shows "Watch Out, Beadle's About! , 'till I got home:

I don't know how many of you will know of him, but to a lot of people my age in the UK he was someone we had a childhood with, grew up with him on TV.. "You've Been Framed" and other shows..

I'll be honest, this has actually quite caught me off-guard in a way, as a few of my freinds too. Died aged 59 after complications ..

" In recent years, Beadle was plagued by ill health. In 2004, he lost a kidney to cancer and, a year later, he was diagnosed with a mild form of leukaemia.

His death comes after a battle with pneumonia. "
