THANK YOU ...

Rik Mayall for Comic Strip Presents, completely mad and fresh and new.  Thank you Rik for The Young Ones, which people of my age watched slavishly and still quote lines from to this day.  Thank you Rik for Flashheart in Black Adder - Woof!.  Thank you, thank you, thank you Rik for The New Statesman, one of the funniest things in the 80’s where you were unbelievably bad as Alan B’stard.  Thank you for Drop Dead Fred and Bottom and just for being one of the funniest people on British TV ever.  Thank you Rik and good night, sleep tight.
