RIP Rik Mayall

I was totally stunned earlier today to hear of the sudden death of Rik Mayall, one of my all time comedy heroes.

I first encountered his comic genius as the character Kevin Turvey in the BBC TV show, 'A Kick Up The Eighties' and of course we all surely grew to know and love him as student Rick in the riotously funny 'The Young Ones'.

I find it almost impossible to comprehend that he is no longer with us but I am grateful for the legacy he left behind and when the grieving is over, I will celebrate his life by watching again some of those wonderful performances.

RIP Rik.
