Rick Mayall died today, age 56.

Police say there is nothing suspicious. Apparently his health hasn't been the best since a quad-bike accident in the late 90's but cause of death has yet to be determined.


I loved ya Rick! :) I have all of The Young Ones on official VHS tapes and got the box-set DVD's of Bottom as well as the live shows downloaded. Still break them out now and then. Even loved The Dangerous Brothers and your guest apperances in Black Adder. :D


RIP a comedy legend :(

As Adrian Edmonson said previous, after Rik's accident, he just wasn't the same :(

It is a shame too. Still love Guesthouse Paradiso, so many great pain gags.

A true loss of a great comedic voice :(

Probably one of the best tributes and quite typical coming from Ade Edmondson

“They were some of the most carefree stupid days I ever had, and I feel privileged to have shared them with him. And now he’s died for real. Without me. Selfish bastard.”

Heh - that is so Ade! And a perfect quote to describe their relationship. If anyone gets a chance, read 'The Gobbler' by Adrian Edmondson, it's almost as if he based the protagonist on an exaggerated version of Rik :)
