Im sincerely sad that Rik Mayall has finally passed away. After his cona after a quad bike accident I genuinely did not expect him to survive. But somehow he did survive even though everyone around him expected the worst. So I've viewed every day he's been alive as a bonus. So while I'm sad I'm not as devastated as much as I should be.
I first encountered his comedy whilst watching Saturday Night Live (the UK version) and his strange character Kevin Turvey. But it was characters such as Rik from The Young Ones and finally Bottom that everyone loved him for.
I still admire his character of Colin Grigson, the bass player for spoof band Bad News. He won't be forgotten as Lord Flasheart.
