Re:

Came in to this news after a wonderful day. Floored. Huge character, incredible actor.

They really don't make them like Rik anymore.

Damn.

Re:

Nah, they don't make them like that. Instead we get over paid crap like Corden and his ilk of 'new wave' comics. It's like canned laughter.

Good comedy it still out there, you just need to look hard for it - The Thick of It springs to mind; but The Young Ones, Blackadder, The New Statesman et al still hold a fond place in my memories. Did i forget the Comic Strip?

Re:

+1 a huge loss, but what a body of work.

A comedy idol since the very early 80s.

If you wanna treat yourself to some vintage Mayall/Edmondson look no further than..
The Comic Trip Presents: Mr Jolly Lives Next Door.

Possibly the finest hour of anarchic comedy......

"Never ever, bloody anything ....ever"....I live my life by that.

Jolly was his pinnacle IMO....... Sad news. RIP

and I wonder how Ade feels, he said they'd fallen out a bit on his last interview.

Found it:

''"And now he's died for real. Without me. Selfish bastard."
