[My_Teenage_Self]

So young.

Richard Richard, Lord Flasheart, Colin Grigson (Bad news - epic!).

Loved him.

"Who's playing Castle Donnington YOU or ME ?...... It's ME isn't it !"

Another forum I'm on (yes I somehow find time) started a Rik Mayall quote list, it's brilliant to remember so many great lines.

Re: 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......

Agree! I heard that they wanted to do something funny every 30 seconds or so, and still there's a plot!

.. well I don't think you're a fishmonger.
I think you've done a plop in the wrong lavatory......

Oh the drunken evenings trying to think of a joke that fits THAT punchline.....

A personal favourite from Blackadder Goes Forth:

Captain Blackadder: I'm beginning to see why the suffragette movement want the vote.
Lord Flashheart: Hey! Any girl who wants to chain herself to my railings and "suffer a jet movement" gets my vote!

Classic. And to think that all Ben Elton can offer us these days is naff musicals and formulaic sitcoms about H&S officers....

Gutted. I've loved Rik since the Young Ones… One of my faves:

Brought up my boy on Bottom. Slapstick at its best.

Ade must be gutted.

Re:

Very sad. Lets not forget Kevin Turvey.

He wasn't that old either. I realised earlier that a lot of my best quotes come from Bottom. And Lord Flasheart in Blackadder was brilliant, 'nice beard bridesmaid, gives me something to hold on to'.
Woof indeed
