My Take
I have a soft spot for entertainers like Jeremy Beadle. For nearly two decades he was a fixture of British television and radio, building hidden-camera and clip shows that made entire families laugh together. People underestimate how much craft and nerve that takes; making millions laugh on cue is far harder than it looks, and he made it seem effortless. His MBE recognised a real contribution to popular culture. His passing in 2008 felt like the end of an era of warm, mischievous British TV. I think the people who simply make us laugh deserve to be remembered, and he earned that.
