RIP Rik

One of my favourite comedy actors.

I remember watching him on The Young Ones. 56 is way too young.

 

[gypsycatcha]

Geezus what a shock!!


Same here. I grew up with his comedy. He was so funny and had great chemistry with Ade Edmondson

R.I.P Rik

Sad news indeed and 56 is no age to die.

Pervy Richie in Bottom was such a great character.

R.I.P Rik.

Loved his Flashheart character in Blackadder - always made us all laugh.

British comedy legend ink.
The Young Ones.
The New Statesman.
Blackadder.
Bottom.

Thanks Kara, forgot about Drop Dead Fred.

Damn. I remember Drop Dead Fred vividly. And as I got older, I learned about the Young Ones and gained a real appreciation for him. An extremely distinct (and distinctly British) comedian. RIP.

Awesome tribute from Ade...

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

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 *******."

Nether did I until I looked up his bio.

Crazy guy from Drop Dead Fred.

The Young Ones was a massive part of my high school years. I was shocked to hear about his passing this morning. RIP

Yeh I saw that before also. Amazing. They obviously had as much fun making The Young Ones and Bottom as it was to watch.
