  • Rik Mayall...who was your fave character ?

    As we all know the great Rik Mayall left us not long ago. As he was one of my faves I wondered which character he played was your favourite? Here is a list to choose from. You may have another I haven't listed, it's just a few to start you off.

    Kevin Turvey ( A kick up the eighties )
    (P)Rick (The Young Ones )
    Various roles ( The Comic Strip )
    Richard Dangerous ( The Dangerous Brothers-Saturday Live )
    Lord Flashheart ( Blackadder )
    Gertrude "Ritchie" Rich ( Filthy Rich and Catflap )
    Alan B'Stard ( The New Statesman )
    Richard "Richie" Richard ( Bottom )

    Mine would be the gunslinger in " A Fistful of Travellers Cheques-Comic Strip"

          Me too especially opposite Ade Edmondson in Bottom - They were like a modern day Laurel & Hardy

          Do you really believe the other side without provocation would launch so many ICBM's, subs and ships knowing that we would have no option to launch as well? It would break our MAD Treaty (Mutually Assured Destruction) not to mention the end of the world as we know it.

              I saw him as the lead in The Government Inspector at the National. I got his autograph on my Young Ones book. I think I still have it ... somewhere.

                    I would have gone with Richie from Bottom or his character from Four Men in a Car but I'll always think of him as Drop Dead Fred. That was truly one of my favourite childhood films, taped it off the tv when it was on one Christmas holidays and watched it over and over. When he passed away a few months back I made it a bit of a mission to pick it up on DVD and you can luckily always find it in HMV for about three quid. I got round to watching it a few weeks back and it didn't half bring back memories, the end of it where he bids farewell to the girl is really sad and very poignant considering he sadly left us for real earlier this year.

                    On a side note I'm currently reading his book and it is typically crazy, read it if you haven't done so!
