The Almighty Rik Mayall

Already a year. Still find it hard to watch anything he's in, so to be honest I haven't really done so yet. Certainly one of the finest maybe the finest British comedian of all time, and that's saying a lot.

Reading his book would be a good way to get back into him imo then.....

I remember when Phil Hartman was killed, we were in the middle of the 4th season of Newsradio here in Aus, and it was very difficult to watch that week's episode and laugh. In the end, though, that's actually honouring them in the best possible way.

I like BOTTOM,Funny thing was when they first played it over here it was on YTV which is a kids channel.

I just finished watching the two series of The Young Ones a couple of days ago and didn't even notice the 'fifth housemate' – I'll need to rewatch them and pay closer attention!

There are a couple of episodes of The Young Ones where a person is sitting behind doors head down with his hair covering his face is this the fifth house mate ?

[iank]

Yes.

Ooooh exciting stuff, must check that out.

He was also great as "Dad" in Man Down, the Greg Davies sitcom.
