By far the best of the recent tributes to Jeremy Beadle I've read.

“After three and a half hours, I was flagging. But Beadle had unlimited energy, fuelled it seemed in part by the simple fact he was talking to someone who was an enthusiast. It had become clear quite quickly that Beadle gravitated towards enthusiasts, and not just of the telly stripe. If you were interested in anything, I sensed Beadle would have been happy to talk to you, give you a leg up and do whatever he could to help out, because he was an enthusiast too (of lots of different things as it happens, including quizzes, telly and tales of murder).”
