Not long heard of the passing away of this comic genius, and at such a young age.

I've never heard of him but its sad to see someone die at such an age.
I hope he rests in peace, my condolences to his family aswell.

I'd advise you to watch Bottom, hilarious comedy show with him & Adrian Edmonson. He also starred in another great show, Blackadder.

....and also was in The New Statesman as politician Alan B'stard, plus The Young Ones. He was also in the recent beer commercial, where he shouts, "bang on!"

R.I.P Rik Mayall a great actor. Since his death i have been watching my Young Ones/Bottom box sets. I think the gas episode has to be one of the best.

That was my favorite as well, also because of the style of comedy not seen since The Yong Ones. Never get bored of watching that.

Yeah i agree. One scene in Bottom that never fails to make me laugh is 'Carnival' Where Rik is on the stairs presenting a tv documentary and says 'should traffic wardens be armed' and then falls down them. Its the tone of his voice when saying that line and the facial expressions as he falls down.

This is the best clip i could find to show what i mean to those who havent seen it www.youtube.com/watch?v=KewyVJ8zHoc
