Ain't Nobody Here Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 I know, such a shock . Loved him in Blackadder, amongst other things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdragon Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 (edited) A great talent and no age at all . Wonder if it was related the horrific quad bike accident he had a few years back? Edited June 9, 2014 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 We wondered that - no age - RIP Rik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdragon Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Scotland Yard have, apparently, confirmed that his death was not suspicious so could be the legacy of the quad bike accident. Still can't believe it at only 56! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 What a horrid shame he was pure genius. So many fantastic lines from him.....WOOF!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JellyBean2605 Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 I loved him from Bottom, especially the live shows. What a shame! RIP Rik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 I couldn't believe it when I read it on FB earlier. Such an early age! Loved him in Blackadder and The Young Ones. I do wonder if his accident was a factor in this, but it was 10 years ago. RIP Mr Mayall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I was shocked too - got a text from a friend about it yesterday. A sad loss to his family, and to entertainment as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancing cloud Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Very sad, especially so young. Loved him in Blackadder and as the fantastic Alan B'stard in New Statesman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
