Rik Mayall R.I.P.

An update on this thread:

It appears Rik suffered "an acute cardiac event" after returning from his morning run.

In all the sombreness, and in typical style, Ade Edmondson paid this hilarious tribute:-

"Edmondson, who also appeared with Mayall in Bottom and a stage production of Waiting For Godot, recalled their "carefree, stupid" partnership.

"There were times when Rik and I were writing together when we almost died laughing," he said.

"And now he's died for real. Without me. Selfish " (think fatherless child )

And who can forget the outrageous Lord Flashheart in the BlackAdder series? Flash by name, flash by nature, Hurrah!

Yeah, sad loss. We got all those shows here in Australia too. He certainly made me laugh.
