Goodnight Lord Flashheart

[Tight Seat]

Rest in peace Rik. You made us smile.

" remember, treat your kite like a woman! .... Get in her five times a day and take her to heaven and back.... Wooof

[Maxibon]

A real shame. His role of Squadron Commander the Lord Flasheart was stunning. He always reminded me of a certain ex-Lighning flt cdr at Brawdy: confident, funny, great company whereas JC had blond hair and a 'tache!

"Anyone can be a navigator as long as he can tell his arse from his elbow..." - the only bit of banter the METS boys could throw at us at Finningbobs.

RIP Rik.

[Courtney Mil]

A very sad for us, but my thoughts go to his family. So sorry.

[NutLoose]

Stunned he's gone.

[Rigga]

Sorry to see a modern comedy hero gone too soon.
RIP Rik

[glad rag]

Gutted, such a loss. Will there be anyone in the UK who hasnt laughed at at least one of his characters?

[pohm1]

Rick:: Do any of you lot know Summer Holiday by Cliff Richard?
Suggs:: You 'um it, I'll smash your face in.
Rick:: I'll go sit over there...


Classic. RIP

In a world of 15 minutes of fame, Rik was at least a "twenty-minuter"

Who can write an epitaph, now we have lost "The People's Poet"?

RIP

[sharpend]

In a world of very funny men, he was indeed just about the funniest of them all. RIP Rik..

[Roland Pulfrew]

Goodbye Squadron Commander The Lord Flashheart

Flasheart: Ah! Tally ho, then! Back to the bar. You should join the Flying Corps, George. That's the way to fight a war. Tasty tuck, soft beds and a uniform so smart it's got a PhD from Cambridge.

[Flasheart gestures at Baldrick.]
Flasheart: You could even bring the breath monster here. Anyone can be a navigator if he can tell his arse from his elbow.

Blackadder: Well, that's Baldrick out, I fear . . .


Darling: I shouldn't worry about it too much, Blackadder. Flying's all about navigation. As long as you've got a good navigator I'm sure you'll be fine.

[Darling sniggers as he opens the door to reveal Baldrick in flying gear. Baldrick enters. Darling leaves.]


:D:D:D

RIP Rik :sad:

[CoffmanStarter]

Very sad news ... RIP Lord Flashheart ... Woof!

[Could be the last?]

Don't forget Flasheart's alter ego....... Kevin Turvey!! RIP

[Haraka]

All of his characters were satires that echoed with those of us in the Services at the time, Black Adder IV especially creating a cult that is timeless.
Very sad indeed to see his passing.
You felt you knew him.
Haraka is a bit quiet tonight.....

Or there's:

Lord Flasheart (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0562201/): Enter the man who has no underwear. Ask me why.
Lieutenant George (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0491402/): Why do you have no underwear, Lord Flash?
Lord Flasheart (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0562201/): Because the pants haven't been built yet that'll take the job on!

and

Lord Flasheart (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0562201/): Is it? Well, that's a piece of luck. Thought I'd landed sausage side. Ha! Mind if I use your phone? If word gets out that I'm missing, 500 girls would kill themselves. I wouldn't want them on my conscience, not when they ought to be on my face!

[air pig]

But as the dastardly MP Alan B*stard, a man ahead of his time or a role model for the future.

[Akrotiri71]

I'll raise a glass tonight. A damned shame he's gone. Great comedian. Appeared to be a quiet, reserved man. God bless, & safe journey.

Made note in diary, simply says 'bugger'.

[Easy Street]

Exit the man who has no underwear :(

[Surplus]

Sadly, Turvey's not ear.

[Hamish 123]

I watched the first episode of The Young Ones (broadcast 9 Nov '82) in the TV room at Cranwell, the day after I arrived at IOT, having seen it trailed on the BBC. I had the room to myself, although by the end of the series, Rick impersonations were quite the thing.

Alan B'Stard: You know the really great thing about a fudged coalition is that neither of us need to carry out a single promise of our election manifestos.

[FireAxe]

Flash is not dead! I simply ran out if juice..............

[Dengue_Dude]

My list of alternatives to Rik Mayall is very long.

Bugger . . .

RIP and condolences to his family and friends.

[walter kennedy]

RIP one of my favourite comedians - particularly "the young ones" caught the spirit of the humour of the time.
His character Alan B'Stard went beyond mere comedy though - I thought he was voice marketing for Tony Blair!

[212man]

It was terribly sad news anyway, but having just watched the clip posted by Akrotiri71 (my birthplace!) it generated a physiological reaction:(

[Minnie Burner]

I thought JKR dreamed up Gilderoy Lock(flash)hart for Rik. He'd have been even better than Ken Branagh.

God speed, Rik.

[The Curator]

Just very sad.
The word 'genius' is often tossed around nowadays.
In my humble opinion, he was just that.
Condolences to his family. :{

[Flugplatz]

This is B-B-B-Bad News!!
