British television host
born April 12, 1948, London, Eng.
died Jan. 30, 2008, London
hosted the hidden-camera television shows
Game for a Laugh (1981–85) and
Beadle's About (1987–96), in which practical jokes were played on members of the public, and, from 1990 to 1997, the home-video show
You've Been Framed. In addition, he wrote trivia columns and books, contributed to
The Book of Lists and the
People's Almanac, and directed a company that supplied pub quizzes. Though many felt that the pranks he played on people were cruel, he raised money for several charities, among them Children with Leukaemia, and it was for this work that he was made OBE in 2001.
