That is sad. Too soon, too young.

I love this quote that has just appeared on his Wikipedia page

There were times when Rik and I were writing together when we almost died laughing. They were some of the most carefree stupid days I ever had, and I feel privileged to have shared them with him. And now he's died for real. Without me. Selfish **bleep**.

Out of respect for Rik Mayall, I have asked the mods if they can edit the name on this thread to reflect its correct spelling.

RIP Rik. You will be sorely missed.

Sorry martini, no offence meant to you, but you made a typo with Rik's name in the thread title. His surname is MAYALL. 🙂

Apologies. I realised as soon as I posted. Thanks for pointing it out.

I remember seeing the Young Ones late one night many years ago. I wondered what the heck I was watching :). 'VyVyan Loses his Head'. I was a fan thereafter.

RIP Rik. Far too young. 😞
