It's been announced that Rik Mayall has died. No more information at present.

What a sad loss. I grew up with his comedy. Kevin Turvey, The Young Ones, The Dangerous Brothers, BlackAdder... the list goes on.

He was superb!! I watched the Young Ones so much as a kid!

gutted ,was amassive fan of his from childhood,bottom,the comic strip,the young ones etc etc

That's a shame I was always a fan of his very funny talented bloke
RIP

A sad loss, and not that old either.

His comedy however will live on for many years.

A sad loss and only 56. Still no details

I'm gutted. One of my faves along with Bob Monkhouse who was my fave.

Saw Rik live many times. RIP

Same as Cookie.

A great favourite of mine too and saw him a number of times live.

Its been a crap day and this has just made it worse.

One of the best comedy scenes ever IMHO.

Total legend and a great loss. They took us from Benny Hill and Dick Emery to the Comic Strip and the Young Ones.

A real game changer!

Loved everything he ever made, we have lost a comic genius and a trailblazer. I'll remember him best as Flashheart I think.

The most intelligent comedian I've ever seen. An amazing mind that he had and so funny. My favourite by a long way. I don't mind saying I cried when he died

Here is what Ade said. Shows their relationship and wonderful humour....

Can you imagine what it would have been like working with that pair?

my favourite episode of bottom was where they stole the blokes wooden leg in the pub,absolute class

Was watching that the other night. I bought the box set a few years ago and dig it out every few months as it still just creases me up laughing but my fave episode is 'Gas' when the gasman calls.
