Beadle's About - White Van In Water

[@smithstock]

Despite the (understandable) expletives, the guy was incredibly dignified with his response. I can’t imagine what people would do nowadays. Makes me nostalgic.

[@Myke-ju5lg]

I went to school with Dave in Croydon..He joined the army after school and served in Germany. Really nice guy.

[@Pobsta-de7hb]

That is funny as he was a market stall guy where I lived in Ramsgate kent, thanet and Dumpton he held his stall often, quite far from Croydon but its odd as my parents moved from Croydon to thanet when I was a kid, guess he did as well, strangely enough I now live in Germany lol. Usually not odd but the croydon thing, then thanet being where I saw and met him often and then Germany thing

[@user-kc3fn1gu6g]

Oh wow ,you know dave Hughes

[@bigneil8888]

I remember this from when I was a kid, best prank ever

[@NellieGCabo]

I LoVE this, and the GUY he is so Kind Hearted as much as It brought Lump to my Throat with his Reactions from start to finish.

[@stratpluslover8391]

The best prank ever This guys reaction is hilarious

[@lapdwascaaaalled8870]

After this, Elton turned to the piano

[@tonyallen5480]

For me this was the best Beadle prank, still remember seeing it for the first time on a Saturday teatime back in the day

[@jumbo8996]

Without doubt one of the best pranks ever. You can’t act that reaction…

[@Carl-vq6ww]

The guy saying sorry for swearing shows how genuine he is as a person. I Hope he’s alive and well 😊.

[@progressivepath1995]

Would this work in today’s world do you think?. I think ppl would be less naive now and/or more likely to turn violent quicker.

​@@Fudge2000So what? It shows he's a man with a masculine identity. Not an insecure Beckham with a rug sewn in his scalp.

[@Steve-gc5nt]

They should bring this show back. Of course it would have to be called Beadles Not About.

[@BlueSummers101]

@2:56 "It's a pillocks trick" 😆

[@Jesusofsuburbia768]

I remember this one, it's a good one. "Should you have parked it there? It's a pillock's trick innit?" 🙈 The relief of that guy, hugging the great Jeremy Beadle ❤🌹

[@Hesgoneandwrittenitdown]

'Lost his van in the drink' 😂

[@djmadmike87]

His reaction when he saw Jeremy…DID YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS?!!!

[@danking8379]

I’ve watched loads of these both at the time and now . The one thing I’ve taken from it is London was great place to live and had great nice people in it

[@trevorsamuels1968]

This is the best prank ever.. 😂🤣😅😂🤣

[@cupidstunt22]

You have got to hand it to him Jeremy knew how to entertain

[@markdurham68]

Can't beat this show not sure it would even be allowed now, was the greatest

[@RussWWFC]

What a lovely guy, would great to see the reilef when he realised it was all a prank.

[@mistofoles]

That was a bit mean, the poor guy almost had a heart attack !

[@richarddavies7540]

Scarring people since the 80s 😂

[@t-rex4211]

Jeez I remember this on when broadcast on tv

[@pmacc3557]

First I was thinking: how nice to be able to go for lunch on a boat...then my thoughts went: Oh the poor man!😂

[@WhatALoadOfTosca]

How didn't he know it was a prank when a giant camera was in his face...

[@philipwelsh1862]

It’s great he didn’t have a weak heart or it could have backfired

[@londonroulette]

Got to be the most famous Beadles About!

What a good dude .

[@rumpelstiltskin9729]

Little did they know his dog was in the back

[@donny121able]

I know you are joking but they did reveal at the beginning that they switch the van for a different one.

[@averyvaliant]

I wonder if it's possible to upscale/enhance these old videos.

[@coecludd]

I’ve actually tried with some. Unfortunately only the first two series were released on DVD, so a lot are VHS recordings which have been converted to digital and lost their quality further!

[@averyvaliant]

@@coecludd Ah that is a shame, thanks for trying though!

[@johng7304]

So he must have paid him the £400 to get it pulled out in the end 😂

[@smithpm81]

remember it well lol

[@googleuser8740]

They should have told him as his van was parked illegally they wont pay for the damage and hes got a parking ticket. That would have caused murder

[@Benjy9845]

You better watch out 'cos Beadle's about

[@DayleHine]

i grew up in these days when you could have a laugh and take the mick without there being a stabbing

[@JohnBradley-r3y]

Cause we were loyal dayle

[@stevenc5227]

Yeah nowadays they would try and sue you cause its affected their mental health🤣🤣

[@User-wollswoycegawage]

Who was the wind up guy He was brilliant I looked up cast but couldn't find him Should you be parked there!! Its going to cost you £400 Hahaha

[@klassonder2508]

At least you didn’t get clamped…

[@BarmyTwubble]

I still laugh at how people, even me and my dad still today refer to beadles about when not believing something lol. Example if my dad was in a carpet shop and they asked way more for a carpet than he expected or thinks it's worth, half way through he would say sumin like. Fk me you still saying that much, I've half expected Jeremy beadle to pop out somewhere, price is a joke lool .. jesus I miss the old days though so much

[@smithpm81]

perfect lol

[@Turn12335]

Didn't dave wonder why he was being filmed getting onto the boat

[@Robc--jd6yh]

No these pranks are genuine. This was the 80s and 90s when the world was real. I know two people who were pranked on this show. It’s real.

[@coecludd]

I have been running this channel for 17 years. I have been contacted by a large number of friends and relatives of people involved in these pranks over the years. You are certainly entitled to your opinion - but you are wrong.

[@Turn12335]

@coecludd how come Dave never clocked the camera crew 5 feet away then do you reckon?

[@Robc--jd6yh]

@@Turn12335 I really hope this is sarcasm and you aren’t as stupid as this comment is making you sound.

[@Turn12335]

They even had a close up of Dave untying the rope so they could set sale. Cameraman must have been inches away. Not acting though. Deffo all genuine

[@Simon-fr4ts]

Elton John squealing like a pig.

[@Mini-c137]

This one looks pretty scripted tbh

[@timothywilliams4089]

'Beadles about',.....about what?,.....about the worst thing on television...

[@Mark-g7t]

Watch out, Beadle's about. Shouldn't really need much exposition. Pretty obvious what it means. One of the best shows on TV back in the 80s and 90s. A good laugh. That's why it's so popular, and why you're watching clips of it 30 years later.

[@timothywilliams4089]

@@Mark-g7t One of the best shows on TV?, a good laugh?, your juvenile standards of humour have plumbed new depths; Beadle was almost as irritating as Ant and Dec,....still don't know which is which though...

@@timothywilliams4089 Beadle was incredibly popular for decades, for good reason. You didn't like him it seems. But then, you're probably the type of person who doesn't like very much. All good clean fun and very funny. Hence why people are still watching clips of him 30 or 40 years later. Even the haters. 😉
