    Kevin Turvey behind the green door still gets me creased with laughter.
    Just one of his pervy looks was enough to get me grinning.

    Really expected him to make another funny series or two. Superb comedy actor

    Search “Man Down Rik Mayall” on you tube, just been watching them all, still damn funny. 😥

    I’ll not quote the entire thing, but John Lloyd suggests that his health had been deteriorating for a while since the crash.

    I live locally and sadly that is my understanding.

    PS: I think it was Lawrence Marks who said it in the article, so in the spirit of RM you can **** right off.

    Fairplay to BBC News last night for playing his flash clip in full. Alittle saucy but 😆

    Full marks to the Times today for that headline/photo combo;

    warning this contains an awful lot of swearing. Having said that it’s damn funny too;

    wwaswas – Mrs binners put that very clip on last night, and we were both creased up laughing. A comedy masterclass!

    You know those rare moments of TV comedy that leave you weak with laughter, tears running down your face? Through my life I reckon Rik Mayall was responsible for more of those than anyone else.

    There’s a moment in one of the live Bottom shows, where an audience member can’t stop himself laughing over a mistake Rik had made. Rik paused mid scene, turned on him, and in true style lambasted him for a good five minutes to the tone of “…do I come to your work and point and laugh at your every mistake, you utter wan…” I was literally falling over with laughter, only he could have made it so funny.

    Lloyd said Mayall was a “consummate professional” who secretly devised his own costume for Lord Flashheart without telling the rest of the cast.
    “He came on set with this ludicrous blonde wig with seashells in it, and a moustache, and the most ridiculous costume that he had managed to concoct without anyone knowing.

    Utterly, utterly brilliant.

    Comedy genius! Will be very sadly missed.

    Looks like they’re trying to get his world cup single to number one (I didn’t even know he’d done one to be fair)

    The episode of Bottom with the Miss World competition is probably my favourite comedy of all time. Was also watching Blackadder Goes Forth last week and laughing histerically at Captain Flasheart. A rare talent that will be missed.

    +1 for seeing Rik in costume on the cover of The Times.

    Absolute legend…RIP Rik.

    If any Mancunians are interested, the Young Ones was based on a household of wayward students in Landcross Road, Fallowfield, where R and A, messrs Elton and Meyer et al used to go for recreational breaks from their academic pursuits. The guy who Neil was based on had a sponsored haircut for the miners in 1984 and raised £500! (his hair was LONG)The Vivian character came to my 40th and, true to form, disgraced himself.

    One story was that he collapsed after returning home from a run, but this and other articles say it is inconclusive, some say he had a strong heart.

    Out of interest, how do you know if someone has a ‘strong heart’?

    Anyway…terribly sad what every the reason maybe. He’ll be missed.

    He died well because there was no prolong suffering.

    The BBC are going to do a tribute night for Rik. 🙂

    Just thought it’s worth mentioning that if you haven’t already read it, his autobiography ‘bigger than hitler, better than christ’ is definitely worth a read. It’s exactly what you would expect a Rik Mayall autobiography to be.

    There are forlorn wilting bouquets outside the house where the Young Ones was filmed, with some messages from kids who weren’t even born then. Sad.
