RIP Rik Mayall

I hope that if there is a heaven he burst the gates open Flashheart style on arrival. Woof!

There's a couple of Rik Mayall bits on ITV late tomorrow evening (Sunday), the very first episode of New Statesman and an hour comedy about him being on a stag do, which I remember seeing back in the day.

For another excellent Rik Mayall memory, click the above link to watch all the adverts he did for Nintendo during the 80's. Genuinely very funny.

Just watched them, had totally forgotten they exsisted but after the first one the memories came flooding back.

I still vividly remember those Mario & F1 ads .
Got the New Statesmans & Rik Mayall Presents on dvd but will be watching tonight anyway. Both were fantastic series & Riks acting shone thru in RM Presents.

Richard Herring wrote a touching article which touched an emotional nerve with me yet made me smile too:

Crackanory was on Dave tonight. Awesome story telling from Rik, & his last tv appearance before he passed away.
He was always so great at story telling from Jackanory to Grimm Tales to Crackanory
