Nothing much on the BBC site, other than a brief statement. I had to check that one when the BBC app pushed an alert. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-27770266I mean, shiiiiit......

A comedy genius, no doubt about it.
Such a shame.

I never really got into the Young Ones, but Rik was always great.
I loved him in the New Statesman and his Kevin Turvey was usually good for a laugh.
And I remember trying to stay up late to watch "Comic Strip presents" as a kid. The only ones that still stick in my mind are the "Famous Five" episode and the one with the neanderthal camp at a university, although it is all very hazy.

 But, at the same time let's also remember the laughs that he, and others, gave us. R.I.P. Rik. _________________John Vella BSc (Hons), PGCE - Still the official forum prankster and crude remarker  Sorry  I'll behave now. Promise

Thought I’d post some Mayall things I found last night. Not the usual Blackadder and Young Ones clips that have been doing the rounds. Here he is as Kevin Turvey: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CpHEqxy1jMThis is a long one, but he read George’s Marvellous Medicine on Jackanory. It got a bit messy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMFY8g56ZCgAnd Rik and Ade as the Dangerous Brothers - two characters who seem to have evolved into Richie and Eddie in Bottom https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHqFc4M8xjQ
