RIP Rik Mayall....

[Darkwood]

Grew up watching this guy ...enough said!

Cannot say i saw half of his best stuff at its debut but Bottom is always on my Netflix and the Young Ones has been abused in the DVD player. My kind of comedy and nothing else comes close to being comparable

 

[cprfenom]

He was very good in shows like Blackadder and I loved his beer adverts. Its a real shame as he really wasn't that old.

RIP Rik and my thoughts to his family and more so his 3 daughters

BBC News - Rik Mayall, star of The Young Ones, dies aged 56.

 

[Octopus]

Real talent - will be sorely missed.

 

[Andy78]

Genuinely shocking news ! Really respected this guy that made me laugh until I did a small bit of wee in my pants many a time.

Same here, grew up watching him , The young one's probably the funniest programs of all time. Rick with a silent P, classic line.
very sad news, thoughts to his family and also Ade edmunson, probably is best friend

Very sad, he was a funny guy.

 

[ian.settle1]

Sad news, wonder if he ever recovered from the accident he had which left him in a coma for several days after coming off a quad bike?

 

[Fin170]

Very sad news, easily one of my favourite comedians

 

[Plonker 3]

Very sad, not many like him around.

Grew up watching him in The Young Ones, Blackadder and later Bottom. Think I may have a Bottomothon tonight.
