I am old enough to remember the Young ones when it aired....some of the best comedy ever IMO.

Ah sh*t.

He was a legend - RIP Rik - you'll be missed.

preston johnny · 09-06-2014 04:07PM

That's really sad, I loved Bottom and the young ones.......He was brilliant as Alan B'stard and Richie Rich

steddyeddy · 09-06-2014 04:07PM

That's unbelievable he was one of the funniest men of his generation.

danniemcq · 09-06-2014 04:08PM

Holy crap

Some of my earliest childhood memories are of watching him on TV. Will be missed

Andy-Pandy · 09-06-2014 04:09PM

He was a funny actor, I loved The Young Ones and Bottom (I'm sure I'll never get to use that sentence again in my life)

Maphisto · 09-06-2014 04:09PM

Very sad. RIP Rik.

Lord Flashheart

Duggy747 · 09-06-2014 04:09PM

Loved Bottom and The Young Ones, 56 is way too young.

Was he ill?

mike65 · 09-06-2014 04:09PM

Jasus!

I remember he took a very bad fall off one of those Quad bikes about 15/16 years ago, he was lucky to have survived that.

BigBrownBear · 09-06-2014 04:09PM

Thats shocking
They only played Cliff and the Young Ones version of Living Doll on Ray D'Arcy this morning and I was laughing at him......'the King of Rock and Roll..................Cliff Richard'

Gold, Frankenstien and Grrrrr

RIP

_Kaiser_ · 09-06-2014 04:12PM

Very sad news.. Loved him as Alan B'stard in The New Statesman.

I remember the first time I watched that show - Sunday night, ITV, and I'd seen the title in the TV Guide before and dismissed it for ages as some sort of political review show or something as The South Bank Show was on after it

Anyway for whatever reason I flicked on to it that night and loved it from the start. Fantastic show and still a great watch today.

He did a lot of voice work aswell. He did all the voice work for one of the funniest PS1 games Hogs of War.

RIP

Lord Flasheart: All right men, let's do-oo-oo it! The first thing to remember is: always treat your kite
[Flashheart taps the picture of the Sopwith Camel with his cane]
Lord Flasheart: like you treat your woman!
[Flashheart whips the air with his cane]
Lieutenant George: How, how do you mean, Sir? Do you mean, do you mean take her home at weekends to meet your mother?
Lord Flasheart: No, I mean get inside her five times a day and take her to heaven and back.

Jaysus grew up watching The Young Ones

RIP Rik or Rick as he was in The Young Ones!

I Heart Internet · 09-06-2014 04:16PM

For his liberation of Port Stanley's Tesco during the Falklands conflict, we all owe him a debt of gratitude.

bear1 · 09-06-2014 04:16PM

Bollocks and they had plans for a new Bottom

Loved his talents. RIP
