When my best mate was living in Llangollen about 25 odd years ago he told me Rik came into one of his local pubs (The Sun Trevor) one night and was an outstanding bloke. Very funny, very amenable - and got very drunk with all the locals.

saw him recently in An American Werewolf in London. Always thought it odd he popped up in that.
Saw him live years ago as Kevin Turvey where half the time he was ad libing - cried with laughter. |

By:
Really enjoyed his recent sitcom on Channel 4 where he played Greg Davies' dad - Man Down. Him and Greg Davies are brilliant in it, really funny and worth catching if you get the chance.

He was terrific as Kevin Turvey, Sultan.

just seen someone dig out Rik's first and possibly last tweet....
"Opening my very own Twitter to stop another bstard from doing it. So fck off & don't expect to hear from me any time soon. Love Rik x "  |
|
By:
Haha! Great stuff!

This house will become a shrine, and punks and skins and rastas will all gather round
and hold their hands in sorrow for their fallen leader. And all the grown-ups will say, "But why are the kids crying?" And the kids will say, "Haven't you heard? Rick is dead! The People's Poet is dead!" |
|
By:
Clips about him on BBC News now.
|
|
By:
terrible

I also remember vaguely an excellent drama, I think written and directed by him.
Co-starring a stunning Helen Bonham Carter in one of her best performances. Sure it was set on the Yorkshire coast, but that's all I remember |

Dancing Queen is the drama you're thinking of Poppy. Was one of 3 (I think) programmes under the banner "Rik Mayall Presents". I've got Dancing Queen indoors - appropriate time to watch it again I feel...

Oh dear. I thought he was a fabulous comedian/actor with a unique talent. Very sad and shocking.

I've just looked on YouTube to see if there are any Kevin Turvey clips - and there is!
Here he is 'Investigating' Sex: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CpHEqxy1jM |

Bottom is one of the funniest things I've ever seen on television. Can't remember a single episode that wasn't hilariously bonkers. One of the few comedies that actually made you laugh out loud.
Very very sad news. |
|
By:
Agreed, Geesyerdosh.
I remember one episode of Bottom in particular where Rik was going on a date (I think) and furiously spraying himself with deodorant - and it was one of the funniest things I've ever seen on a comedy show. |
|
By:
Yeah Big time Geesyerdosh, Absolute Comical from start to finish ..!

RIP. You made us laugh. Many comedians don't.

By:
Bergkamp93, cracking old clips of Bottom!

By:
didn't any of you ever see the Bad News spoof when they played at The Donnington Monsters of Rock? I wonder if his quad bike accident did more damage than was ever let on, he was close to death apparently at one time.

One of the funniest things I ever saw Rick do, was when he was on stage performing the Elvis song "I'm Evil". (with different words)
Here's the Elvis version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQ_vRIbkyJg and here's Rick's masterpiece. You really need to listen to the words, and it helps if you know the tune of the original song. I've been looking for it on and off for years, and appropriately, today I've found it. https://twitter.com/rorybremner/status/310718936478007296 |

great to see Kevin Turvey after all these years. My little brother still has to say 'sausages, potatoes, gravy' in that Turveyesque Redditch accent
 |
|
By:
Fantastic clip of 'Richie's Date' Bergkamp93!
Unfortunately, that isn't the one with the deodorant (I did say I couldn't remember what it was about exactly) - but brilliant all the same! |
