Title: RIP Rik Mayall
Post by: Simon on June 09, 2014, 16:50

British comedian and actor Rik Mayall has died aged 56, according to his management team.

He played the obnoxious, poetry-writing anarchist Rick in The Young Ones alongside his friend Adrian Edmondson before the duo later went on to star in their sitcom Bottom.

Mayall also appeared in shows including Blackadder and The New Statesman.

He was left seriously ill after a quad bike accident in 1998 which left him in a coma for several days.

Mayall's film roles included the comedies Drop Dead Fred and Guest House Paradiso.

I liked him playing Alan B'stard best of all.  What a shame and so young.   :rip:

I found out on Friday while shopping that Rick Mayall had died.   I could not believe it, so went to my local library and googled 'Young Ones' and 'Bottom'.  I am now helping police with their inquires.
