I heard about this morning, sad stuff. Haven't seen The Young Ones myself but i thought he was great in both Blackadder and Bottom. The role he'll most be remembered in for me, is a film i loved in my childhood that i imagine i'd hate now Drop Dead Fred .
Anyway RIP Rik Mayall.
You should try The Young Ones, its a great show..
I'll watch it at one point. Most likely if the BBC shows reruns of it, which will more than likely happen now that Mayall is dead.
