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!

He took comedy to new places.

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...

Loved B'Stard and Bottom.

Rik Mayall RIP. Sad loss.

"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:
