Pretty gutted to hear this on the radio on the way back from lunch - was a huge fan of Bottom, The Young Ones, and other roles of his. Not sure if there is any information on his death at the moment, but complete shock for me, so unexpected.

 

RIP Rik.

Beat me to it. If a mod can remove my thread, no use having two the same.

 

Loved him as Lord Flasheart in Blackadder.

Adrian Edmondson's (Vyvyan from The Young Ones) words on his pal's demise if somewhat expected, is quite funny  :D

 

http://www.bbc.co.uk...t-arts-27770448

"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 bastard."

Well known quotes.....

http://www.bbc.co.uk...t-arts-27772259

As for The Young Ones..... Me fave ep.... S02E01 - Bambi, and especially when Motörhead make an appearance.



LOL, anyone remembered when Living Doll was covered? :D

Just found this on ITV Central East Midlands, of Rik doing a promo of a theatrical version of The New Statesman, in and around Nottingham :)
