R.I.P Rik, you will forever be remembered as a comedy legend and as a massive fan of Bottom it will be sad to watch the show and know you're no longer with us!

What do you mean as a kid? Bloody youngsters. He was fcuking great though. Sadly his portrayal of a Tory MP was swiftly overtaken by reality...

"Nursie" from Blackadder - Actress
Patsy Byrne
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-27958885
"Nursie: You almost were a boy, my little cherrypit.
Queen: What?
Nursie: Yeah. Out you popped, out of your mummies pumpkin and everybody
shouting : "It's a boy, it's a boy!". And somebody said "but it
hasn't got a winkle!". And then I said "A boy without a winkle? G-d
be praised, it is a miracle. A boy without a winkle!" And then Sir
Thomas More pointed out that a boy without a winkle is a girl.
Anyway, I was really disappointed.
Melchett: Oh yes, well you see, he was a very perceptive man, Sir Thomas More."

Classic Tuco quote:
"You want to know who you are? Huh? You want to know who's son you are? You don't, I do, everybody does... you're the son of a thousand fathers, all bastards like you!"
