Another legend lost

Just read that now. A comedy hero gone toO soon. Can't the powers that be take people we don't want like that Bieber kid or kerry katona and not people like Mayall & Co.

what a shame, he was a very funny man, i watched every bottom live show at the empire, he will be missed R.I.P Rik

He was hilarious in Man Down with Greg Davies. I really hoped they managed to film the second series but I doubt it.

he was fantastic in man down, think it could of gone on to be one of the best things he did?

I was watching him doing George's Marvelous Medicine on Jackanory this morning (thanks to YouTube). The guy's talent was staggering and underrated.

Heard on the news that they think he had a cardiac arrest following a morning jog.
