Oh I agree (although Bo Selecta is no kind of substitute) Jeremy Beadle expected retaliation more than most because he was a professional prankster, but a sketch where his death is prophesied in the Sun before he is tied to a chair on a bonfire and burned alive while his obituary is written in front of him... Maybe a little too far, even for Spitting Image.
In all fairness, NOBODY was safe from this show. Athletes, Politicians, Celebrities, etc It was the Bo' Selecta! of the 80s. The Producers didn't have a crystal ball that let them see into 2008.
I'm sure this was just a wee send-up than outright malice.

@Admanic7 Si was known for this kind of comedy. It did once cut Thatcher's head off, for example.

RIP Jeremy Beadle

I remember at the time (c1990) this was one of the funniest things I had seen and it stuck in my mind for ages.
Seems a bit crude now Jeremy Beadle actually has died though.
