Alan B'stard for me RIP

 

[Ted]

Definitely Bottom for me.
Mrs Ted was in stitches and she has no sense of humour.

Sprouts Mexicaine........

RIP

RIP Lord Flasheart, a brilliant comedy actor

How sad, only 56.
I was a massive fan of Bottom. I used to watch it with my dad. It was our way of father son bonding...

 

[c63chris]

Such a shame and no age. Loved Young Ones and Comic Strip.

Terrible news - not since Laurel and Hardy did someone capture the essence of slapstick violence so perfectly.

 

[W4E300]

A really sad loss.....the face of comic anarchy for a generation. I loved "Kevin Turvey";

RIP.

Lord Flasheart for me too although I did like Bottom and Alan B'stard.

"I like a woman who likes the taste of a man's tonsils".

Someone on here has Alan B'stard as their avatar I think.

RIP

Brilliant comedian, actor and writer.


Such a shame

 

[AMGeed]

Bit of a shock to hear Rik was only 56.
Gave me plenty of laughs over the years.
RIP

 

[WG M-B]

Very sad

Not many people could make you pi££ yourself to the line "I've got a plan and its as hot as my pants"

And my other fave "any bird who chains herself to my railings and suffers a jet movement gets my vote"

 

[Spin_bowler]

Gutted, I vividly remember the minute playground dissection of every episode of the Young Ones that was a part of school life when it was first aired. He kept me laughing through most of my teens and early twenties.

I even liked Fillthy, Rich and Catflap.

Looks like he had a W124.

RIP. A funny, funny man.

 

[trapperjohn]

I dont know if anyone ever saw him do Jackanory - He was a classic story teller. RIP Rick.

Does this mean a bye-election in Haltemprice?
