R.I.P. Rik Mayall

[Talion]

An icon of British comedy has died today

I Grew up with the Young Ones, Blackadder and Bottom

A great comedian from a great era of British comedy.

Richard and Eddie taught me how to really play chess..........you'll never be forgotten

yep im the same. I remember coming home from school and watching Rik reading Georges Marvelous medicine on Jackanory. Fantastic!

He will be missed

 

[Digclaw]

This makes me feel both old and sad
I remember watching him late night on Mtv when they had both comic strip and Young Ones

 

[ischa]

No reason to feel old Dig. The fella died (relatively) young, as the best ones often do. Comic genius, loved both black adder and the young ones.
