Rik Mayall was a HUGE part of my childhood and teenagehood. I saw the Bottom tour twice. I felt quite teary eyed when watching his stint on Crackanory cos I knew it was the last official performance he did.
@markbrisec3972 Жыл бұрын
The part where he knocks the crutch from the war veteran is one of the best 10 seconds in comedy's history.. Pure gold.. Although I loved "The Bottom", "The New Statesman" is Rik Mayall's magnus opus and an incredible show...

I'm 63 and just showing B'stard (The New Statesman) stuff to my 17 year old son tonight, who already likes the Young ones and Rik in Blackadder goes Forth (especially the Private Plane sketch which is our favourite). Rik was a really funny guy and very missed by us all. So cheesed off when he snuffed it a few years ago.

My favourite scene is when the police respond to the animal activists outside Alan's house. Sarah asks why the police always turn up so quickly when he calls them. Alan shows her a photograph. "Yes, it is a bit of an unusual angle. You see, the man on the left is very high up in Scotland Yard, while the man on the right is very high up in the man on the left!"

Its never too late to discover his works. He did The Young Ones, Bottom and Filthy Rich and Catflap for the BBC (by the way we can see all 6 episodes of Filthy Rich and Catflap here on KZfaq) but The New Statesman was an ITV production.

Bought the very first episode on Amazon Prime and halfway through ended up buying the whole season. Truly funny show,and shows how great Mayall was. Sure,funny on Bottom and The Young Ones but here he's more restrained and every bit as funny as ever. Can't believe it's been over five years since he passed and miss him more so☹️

I've occasionally wondered if the scene with Alan B'stard's ear cutting and immolation of Peirce's teddy bear (which I first watched in either late 1990 0r early 91) was the inspiration for Mr Blonde's torture of Officer Marvin Nash, in Quentin Tarantino's "Reservoir Dogs", 3 years later. The similarities are uncanny.
