I didn't know Beadle was in The Matrix...

At the risk of sounding slightly tasteless, might it emerge that life was actually a simulated reality set up by Jeremy Beadle as a joke? Would he suddenly spring out of one of those machines in the Matrix?

IMO it would have certainly made it a lot more entertaining.

Do you think he'll jump out the coffin at the last moment and say "you should have seen the look on your face?"

That would be very Beadle-esque.


Nah, but keep your eyes on the Vicar!

It would be ironic if the vicar had a beard or had an appearance in which it looks as though he could uncover his true identity...

Perhaps he's been listening to some Alanis.

That's an interesting point.

100 Jeremy Beadles simultaneously pulling hilarious pranks on Neo in Matrix Reloaded would be quite a scene.

Then you and I share more in common than I thought. I'm glad we cleared this up.


Likewise Gavin. Debate about a debate.. not for the first time, or the last I expect.

Quite an interesting write up of a meeting with Beadle at TV Cream

Thanks for that, made rather interesting reading

If it's on Monday night will STV/Border Scotland even be showing it. This is normally Scotsport territory.

I think this thread has run its course and is beyond reasonableness now.

RIP Jeremy and condolences to his family. I recall several years of Beadle on my screen. There was something about his programmes that made it difficult to press the "off" button, and I am sure many of you will agree. Compulsive viewing that we all promised ourselves never to watch again, yet found ourselves tuned-in seven days later to watch more!!

Hopefully, Bail will lock this now.
