Saw this a few minutes ago, proper sad news. A LEG END from my yoof.

I can't think of anything he did that wasn't brilliant and made me laugh out loud but especially The Young Ones, Bottom and Blackadder.

Devastated about this news. Comedy hero. Rip Rik. His mum taught at the first school in Alvechurch where I went to middle school too. :(

I grew up watching the young ones in my teens together with blackadder and then later the New Statesman. A real comic genius as he wrote most of his own work as well as deliver it. such a rare thing these days

Sorry, should have added...

And this is meant in a spirit that Rik might perhaps have approved of?

I am REALLY looking forward to the repeats!

Can't top Ade Edmondson's quote today: "There were times when Rik and I were writing together when we almost died laughing... And now he's died for real. Without me. Selfish b@5***d."





(Thanks, admin, for the edit.  Sorry for the clumsy copy & paste).
