He and Adrian Edmondson were the finest physical comedians in years.
Not any meaningfull explanation on that link as to how he passed away.
"Take these three items, some WD-40, a vise grip, and a roll of duct tape. Any man worth his salt can fix almost any problem with this stuff alone." - Walt Kowalski
"Only two things are infinite - the universe, and human stupidity. And I'm not sure about the universe." - Albert Einstein
He's been an alternative comedian so long that he's now mainstream. Just a few months older than me too!
No news yet on the cause of death.
I am deeply saddened by the news and send my deep sympathies to his family and friends.
Bloody hell just heard at work! Proper gutted - loved Young Ones, Bottom, Blackadder, etc.
RIP
Fucksticks!
Very sad news, very much my humour, stage shows were lively and a bit of a shambles in a funny kind of way!
Quote from The Young ones, Bambi episode;
RICK: This house will become a shrine! And punks and skins and Rastas will all gather round and all hold their hands in sorrow for their fallen leader! And all the grown-ups will say, "But why are the kids crying?" And the kids will say, "Haven't you heard? Rick is dead! The People's Poet is dead!"
Just didn't expect it so soon.
Very sad, loved him from Kevin Turvey onwards "When I take my Spear t', the Theatre ...."
Flash in Blackadder II - that clip is awesome, I think it was largely improv, you can see Rowan Atkinson and Tony Robinson giggling
Feedback
"Escorts, bescorts - Come in if you're saucy!"
Well, I'm shocked by this. He defined what was funny for kids in the 80s - you had to watch The Young Ones or Blackadder or you were a "square".
This also means Bad News can never reform
Brilliant. I love that bit.
I'm going to repeatedly slam a work colleagues head in the canteen fridge door in his honor.
Noise, randomness, ballistic uncertainty.
