Jeremy Beadle suspects???

[Slimsid2000]

Jeremy Beadle appeared on an entertaining TV show some years ago called something like The Trial of Jack the Ripper. Several suspects were looked at and Beadle was in charge of the case against Maybrick. The studio audience found his argument the most convincing and voted for Maybrick as the Ripper at the end of the show. Interestingly, Ripperana magazine suggested that Beadle himself might have written the Maybrick diary although this accusation was not made until after the celebrity's death.

Best wishes,

Unlikely I would have thought but if true it would be Jeremy's ultimate practical joke.

I missed that particular kerfuffle.

Did anyone seriously believe that Jeremy forged the Diary?

Oh I don't know, Sir Robert.

I can't see the harm in showing up an a-hole for what it is.

Unless he was humoring me, and Jeremy didn't strike me as the type to do so, he was still a Maybrickian as of the Wolverhampton Conference.

Interestingly, Ripperana magazine suggested that Beadle himself might have written the Maybrick diary although this accusation was not made until after the celebrity's death.

I was actually quite disappointed to see that this theory/assertion made it into the A-Z.

I was going to say that I thought he suspected W.H. Bury, but then remembered that it was actually William Beadle...

FTC, we also have the Jeremy Beadle Award in Ripperology now as well, named in his memory.

Cheers,
Adam.

Once upon a time, Nick Warren had credibility. I guess he got tired of it.
