Sadly, a comedy great has passed today at the age of 56. Rik Mayall's cause of death has yet to be released but the news has already caused grief among many of his fans, the evidence of this very clear on pretty much every social media site you can enter. He stared in many comedy shows such as the Young Ones, Bottom and was also part of the 'Comic Strip Presents..' shows. His film 'Drop Dead Fred' is yet another well known piece of work coming from him. Since Bottom is one of my favourite shows I can honestly say I will miss his work and his ability to make light of any situation. He even jokes that he "beat Jesus Christ" after a near fatal bike accident as he was on life support for five days. If you haven't heard of or seen the man in action here's a fab clip of him in the Young Ones sporting beautiful yellow dungarees:
