He thought so too, constantly twirling his lovely long locks.

He was very good looking and very funny

He was, as you say, absolutely beautiful, in every way, inside and out. I could look at him and listen to him all day. And all night.

I'm an English man and yes I think he's very handsome lol personality wise he is a legend of comedy and I will truly miss him, when I first saw him in the young ones and then bottom and the rest of his work i thought wow now here is a funny man. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Had a crush on him since early eighties. I had exceptional taste.

magic.

Wow! Just reading this made me smile 🙏✨

Best response ever! X

Hello from 2022. I feel exactly the same. And that's all we need to say about THAT! Xxx

Ditto from 2024. In 1982 I was married with a very young family. I spotted the The Young Ones in the TV Times and asked my wife what it was (I'd been away for a couple of weeks), she said 'it's some silly childish stuff' and I thought well, obviously for me then. When I saw it I couldn't stop laughing for days... Dear Rik, we miss you!

I see you in the comments of all his videos '-'

I was saddened to hear Rik died. Bottom was one of my favorite sitcoms.

Did you ever get to see the Live Shows they did?

soeffingwhat I didn't actually get to go and see them live but I have got all five live shows one show from each tour on video. I bought them a long time ago lol.

Dave Wiseman I have them too but I'm happy to say I got to see the 2001 "Arse Oddity" tour and the 2003 "Weapons Grade Yfronts" Tour when they came to Ireland. the 2003 Show was the best for me cos I was with my Sister and we were sitting only a few Rows from the front. Can't tell you how magical it was to actually have Rik and Ade actually performing their Schtick right in front of us. The whole Arena was in stitches :-D I've since visited the "Bottom Bench" in Hammersmith a few times. Its a great shrine for Rik. I remember watching his very last performance, Crackanory, broadcast about a week after he died. I don't mind admitting I actually felt very emotional watching him.

I blame quadbikes

Rebecca, me too !! Well said

Me too - you are a legend!

me too

Rowen Atkinson John Cleese Ronnie Barker Norman Wisdom I think they'd all fit your description. Just read your name... 🤣🤣🤣

The man was so damn full of life it's hard to imagine he's not here anymore.

I did! When I was at Kings with him in 74.

@@steveprice638 I bet that was an interesting time :)

@@mickmckean7378 he was funnier at school, and was a very good friend to me when I needed one.

@@steveprice638 He was funny, and very sweet, in this interview❤❤

Now & again there are stories in the comments by people who worked with him & talked with him & drank with him, each time a pleasure to read!

And it was originally going to be called my bottom I think so people would say “did you see my bottom on tv last night?” 😂😂😂 rip Rik

He was most definitely handsome. Like a secret crush for some reason even though he had the most beautiful smile and face so no reason for it to be a secret crush. x

yeah but he doesn't tho he's dead

You have impeccable taste Mr. USA!

What a self absorbed comment. It's about Rik not you.

@@steffanhoffmann8937 It's not at all. I understand quite well what he means. Never mind he's dead Rik's still able to give you a lot of his energy and love of life and if you transport this over into your lessons, all the better!❤️🤗

@@sundaypeople5791 understood

“Right! Settle down you grubby little bastards and start working out those sums! And if I catch another one of you little urchins picking their noses again I’m gonna grab that hamster and ruddy well shove it up your nose!”

To be fair it's not unusual for a guy to worry that his fly is undone when in a publically visible situation. My dad received an OBE from the queen with his fly undone (OK, now I'm going to have to check that memory with my mum :) ). God only knows how that happened, but I think Rik's fly gesture was simply for the camera and audience, and nothing to do with him kissing Gloria. It's classic Rik to mime that perhaps his willy is hanging out :)

I know it's been 8 years but what a great comment I hope you're still alive.

@An Armchair hahah!

@An Armchair I pop up a mountain and flick my hair aboutabit

I know exactly what you mean. Death does not suit him.

6 years later and it still doesn't sound daft. Just impossible.

People die twice once when their bodies die and once when they are forgotten. He will never die.

the peoples poet is dead.

because he isn't

What do you mean in particular?☀️

+aiden a jarvis What's significant about 1988?

+oldfart4751 since I was consciously old enough to watch tv, and the shows he was in

Ok!

me 2

Always.

Goes to the queen dressed like in the young ones at the point of about to receive the award walks away 😂

I noticed that too.
