A trivia buff, bibliophile and polymath, Beadle will be best remembered for popular series built around ambitious practical jokes played on unwitting members of the public. He co-presented Game For A Laugh (1981-1985) and later hosted Beadle’s About (1987) and the home video show You’ve Been Framed (1990-1997) among others.
