DREWspective

I did a double-take when I read someone’s copy of a tabloid newspaper on the train to work.

It’s been a while since I last saw Jeremy Beadle on television, but he was truly an icon. For those who don’t know, he was famous for pulling practical jokes on people, most notably on his own TV show.

I will admit, I was probably too young to understand what was going on back in the 80s and early 90s; all I can remember were bleeps as the victims cursed in frustration. That in itself was funny shit. I also won’t pretend to know the guy personally, but he was a part of my childhood and he will be missed.

Drew Maughan salutes Jeremy Beadle. Rest in peace.
