Rik Mayall RIP, by pking1601 on Jun 9, 2014 16:56:32 GMT 1, I remember seeing the BlackAdder documentary and they spoke about his Lord FlashHeart character. If I remember rightly they said he didn't rehearse so the look on the other actors faces when he came bursting thru the door, in full costume and gave his performance was spontaneous as they wasn't sure what to expect.
A childhood hero gone. RIP Rik

Rik Mayall RIP, by Cornish Crayon on Jun 9, 2014 17:17:59 GMT 1, I very rarely write words when somebody passes but Rik Mayall was my idol and my path into tummy splitting comedy, I was just a tad young to understand the young ones properly......
But bottom was the ultimate in slap stick comedy, for me it was the best.
Guest house paradiso was the first time I literally pissed myself, the whole cinema was rocking with laughter, it still remains as one of my top films of all time,
Blackadder appearances were always legendary and unforgettable .
RIP and thanks for making us laugh Rik

Rik Mayall RIP, by mojo on Jun 9, 2014 17:23:37 GMT 1, Really so sad and at such a young age!
The comic strips 'A Fistful of Travelers Cheques' is one my favorite comedy shows of all time.
He was a natural comedian, such a wonderful legacy to have left, the ability to make so many people laugh.

And there it is - Bottom Gas Man episode - as funny as it gets.
Add on The Young Ones (remember the tampon scene), Lord Flashard etc etc.
Saw Bottom Live several times - just a funny funny man.
So sad.

Watford can't play to save their lives amigo
yes I agree they just need a new manager
A friend and I went round Europe inter-railing during the mid 80's reciting and acting out this episode - every time a ticket officer looked at our ticket we'd inform him its a euro rover old man! as well as asking complete strangers if they had any mandys and could they cash a giro or if they'd seen John Paul George & Gringo
I'm gonna have to find a copy now and watch it, I wouldn't be surprised if I actually remember the entire script!

Excellent - I wasn't the only one then! The line "This train will stop at San Domingo, old woman" was mentioned every time I went anywhere on a train (got some knowing looks sometimes!). Still brilliant... |
