Damn he was handsome. 58 years old. The World sucks

Rik Mayall was my favourite comedian growing up in the 1980s as a teenager.
I was in hospital after being knocked down by a car when I was 14. My friends at school got the address of Rik Mayall's fan club and they wrote him a letter telling him what had happened to me and that I was such a huge fan of his.
I was lying in my hospital bed one day when my late father came to visit me and he handed me this envelope.
I said "What's this Dad" he said just open it, it's from your friends.
I opened it puzzled and inside was a signed photo of Rik and a letter from him saying he hoped I was okay and thanks for being a fan, and by the way don't be a twat and get yourself knocked down again.
I read that letter everyday I was in hospital and I kept it for about 8 years, but I eventually lost it when I moved down south.
I never forgot how that letter made me feel.
Rik was brilliant as a writer and performer as Kevin Turvey, in The Young One's, The Comic Strip Presents, Dirty Movie, A Fistfull of Travellers Cheques, Mr Jolly Lives Next Door, Filthy, Rich and Catflap, The Dangerous Brother's, Bottom and as Lord Flasheart in Blackadder.
The funniest man on television by a mile.
Miss ya Rik and thanks for everything. 😊

You get the impression, looking back at Rik's professional life, that if one door closed he'd kick another one open.

Kevin Turvey was fckn brilliant

Miss you so much Rik😅 everything you did made me feel better about the world..Especially Kevin Turvey, “for this is the aaaaaage....of the train”👍😂

Absolutely love this man so much. So naturally funny and the first rock star of comedy. Made me laugh on a daily basis throughout my teens.
Sorely missed. We miss you Rick.

He's like an assertive frank spencer!

Kevin Turvey!
Say-no-more..

His threat to take him to the wrong station 😂

Pure legend

Doing a David Carradine holds a whole new meaning nowadays.

Happy memories

I realised something about Rik, the material didn’t have to be that funny - it was him, he could just make anything funny.

A Genius.

Simply brilliant

Any new Rik stuff is gold
