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.

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

My list of alternatives to Rik Mayall is very long.

Bugger . . .

RIP and condolences to his family and friends.

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!

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

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.
