Ade Edmondson does "The Dying Swan" - Let's Dance for Comic Relief 2011 Show 3 - BBC One

[@Hamilton7776]

Am I the only one who thinks its a sweet irony that in the last appearance together Rik actually wins the fight over Ade?

[@danielfennessey]

Hamilton7776 It's almost poetic isn't it?

[@falvalisious]

perfect

I have to say watching this again is really emotional because this was they last performance working together before Rik's Death and the saddest thing is no-one saw that coming

[@katygaston8777]

😢😢

[@hankhandsome]

This is probably now the last time they were on screen together. RIP Rik.

[@swordofcoke]

I Can't believe he's gone. He was a friend through my childhood and adolescence, and I Just sincerely hopes that he rest's in piece.

[@JamesGormleyMusic]

'Peace'

[@Gaaach]

"You're just a door. I'm Rik Bloody Mayall!!"

[@raurora]

"THIS IS JUST WEE-UHD" Rik's accent hasn't changed one bit.

[@MattArg995]

You are my hero Rik! Rest in peace, you brilliant mad man you!

[@izaakfarrington7751]

Rest In Peace Rik Mayall. You absolute comedy legend

[@dalekidea]

That was simply FANTASTIC to see such icons of comedy back on our screens !

[@emol12ify]

Lol Jennifer can't contain herself, she's vibrating with laughter ;)

[@chefdoomy]

Played the bottom theme when Rik walked on, it was so beautiful.

[@Riveripple]

"AND YOU TWO ARE NEXT, OKAY?" When Rik came on I almost pee'd.

[@hidebarnes8188]

Literally laughed out loud to this 😂🤣 y can't comedy be like that nowerdays . I say that there is no other duo is like them 😭

[@longview161]

Still miss you Rik :(

[@PseudoFanboy]

when he came out of the fog in the suit i nearly died of joy

[@alanalovespaul]

You guys together have always created magic xxx

[@Mandy0monday]

That guy is talented & his face expression is hilarious~

[@silverbolt2012]

Even at their age they still make me laugh more than a lot of modern comedians. It was only a short scene for those two but it made me laugh for a lot longer.

[@zazuzazz5419]

🎶Everything is beautiful at the ballet!🎶. Haunting performance, Ade!!! You’re the Prince and the Swan rolled into one!!!🩰

[@ahojohn330]

Awww =) Good ole Ade, good sense of humor and seems to b an all around great guy. I think Jen got a good one! Glad Jen and a couple of the girls went to watch him and they're still laughing together...wish them the best for years to come =)

[@OohSugarCrumbs]

oh my god this was brilliant! Jennifer was rocking herself hahahahah!!

[@zazuzazz5419]

OohSugarCrumbs And she gets to go home with that ridiculous, brilliant bird!!! 🦢 Lucky girl!

[@16shogunelitegreen]

10 Years ago this happened. How time flies

[@dawggonecrazee]

[@charliesmakinme]

OMG i've been waiting for this return,.,.,., only a few seconds.,,.,.,but its great to see them together again!!

[@NewfordsTry]

Brilliant! He's quite agile for a bloke of his age hahah! One hell of a pair of legs on him!!

[@leighelkington2525]

God dam legend's 😂😂 R.I.P Rik Mayall you absolute legend.

[@TravelChimp]

[@kayrobertson5460]

They are both absolute legends 😇❤️

[@MaleficusMonocerus89]

Played the bottom theme when Rik walked on, it was so beautiful.

[@harknessfan567]

The first time that I saw this on the tv I half expected Ade to counter with "is this a fight?"

[@comedybuff4000]

Rik and Ade reunited... my life in now complete. And I LOL'd at the presenters faces when Rik said they were next.

[@andywright8803]

Comedy gods

[@philkasafir.]

Do you know what happens when these two get together? Magic.. That's what happens. Almost 6 months already... Gone too quick :(

[@faithoffaith]

He dances like an angel!

[@THEGTJOKER]

so glad they are coming back

[@tardiselliot]

gotta love those two :)

[@TheMelamia]

OMG, I LOVE ADE!!!

[@1DreamImmortal]

When me and my sis first saw this, stunned would be the emotion for the first moments that he danced backwards. Very emotive, and probably one of the top ones to beat. :)

[@cherryclarke2046]

Rik made this much better than it was!! Live this guy so so much

[@majestic2012]

Wow. What can I say? Legends. Nuff said.

[@leondebout]

Now I know Britain's Got Talent! Excellent!

[@TycoonGamer]

One of the greatest duo ever, I love bottom! Please guys, come back!

[@XxXwhyshouldicareXxX]

this is amazing... why is British television so darn funny :D

[@PeskyPeeves]

omg i frikin loved this, this has to be the winner!!

[@joelongsurname]

I honestly could have sworn that this ended with Rik Mayall standing on a balcony above the stage with scissors, and cutting a rope which was holding up one of them ten ton block things, that ofcourse "landed" on Adrian, (it must of had no bottom and he ended up inside of it) and then the judge interviewed him whilst he was still "under" the block. Honestly, it's such a strange and specific memory, but I vividly remember watching it.

[@TheMelamia]

There are a couple of different versions (I think they performed it several times) because I saw it on telly more than once and I remember the ending you mentioned.

[@joelongsurname]

+TheMelamia I thought I was going crazy!

[@shoogamoogaman]

Ade got voted into the final and it was in the final that they did that version :)

LEGENDS.

[@LightLife4]

After Rik came onstage I didn't give a toss about Ade's ballet. I was too busy laughing at the saucepan antics

[@AAKS1972]

Enjoying this very much. The Netherlands gives Ade and Rick 10 points!

[@TheRedfoot86]

I'm soooo ready for Hooligan's Island!!!

[@Stegblob]

I literally cry everytime. ;_;

[@Solitarious2011]

Please no negative comments. It was done for the purpose of a charity. Ade's performance along with Riks appearence maintains the principal of comic relief beautifully even if some cannot say the same for the acting or even dancing. Personally, i think it was by far the best performance of the evening :)

[@KaiserRika]

I was literally screaming at the screen when the results came up!

[@carriesking]

... that was just legend.

[@Awesomeautisticgirl]

I like it when Ade keeps getting hit in the face. That part always makes me laught

[@70srocknroll]

love this !! so good as american love that british humor !!

[@LightSpectris]

God bless him, even a middle aged Rik with this barely buttoned up jacket, scruffy jeans and sneakers, still managed to steal the show. That shows how good he was.

[@notejarvis8656]

RIP Rik. Will be sadly missed

[@alexaliennerd3990]

I laughed at Rik entering and hitting Ade with a frying pan but then I thought "Oh... I'm sad now." I grew up with The Young Ones and have really fond memories of Bottom. Back in the day of physical media, I got something else as the cover with the first 3 episodes of Bottom as what was actually inside it. I thank everyone who has EVER worked in that second-hand shop for never checking because that was the start of me watching what would become my favourite sitcom,

[@louiswindsor7334]

I like to think rik wasnt ment to come on and just saw ade on stage and deacided to mess with him

[@simonleech1109]

How did I not know of this until just now

[@irishcrusader99]

One off special of Bottom is needed, this brought back the memories!

[@richie2701]

Brilliant the hosts look so terrified of Rik lol

Oooerr! Lovely!

[@geordierocker44]

rip one of the best

[@CarynneTerrae]

Oh Rika Mayall

[@NenaMataHari]

Hahaha! Ade's line and musicality aren't that bad for being a goofy scene.

[@pennydesouza]

I LOVE the fact that this dude is actually taking it semi-seriously - I think this actually works...

[@michaelac162]

Oh how i love Rik!

[@fusselkatze8393]

just wonderfull!

[@BooNube]

I'll always miss you, Rik

[@mrN3CR0]

Rik and Ade reunited for comic relief... now i am INCREASING my donation amount on the night

[@xchampbearx]

Ade had a bump on his head last night on the results show - one of those hits was real XD

[@ekaterinabalderdash1274]

Happy birthday my immortal beloved! Mine is tomorrow. Two peas in a pod, us.

[@1ninocka4]

this is excellent! rip rick.

[@KaiserRika]

That's the whole point, it's just PURE Rik and Ade!

[@TravisGoss2011]

That was a treat to see Rik and Ade on stage again.

[@RhiannLovesMCR]

Rik and Ade, also Known as My Hero's

[@supersandman86]

yay ade and rik doing what they do best, making us laugh

[@ADyingFaith]

This has just made my life. Rik and Ade together again even for a short time as this. The poor little dying swan 'JUST DIE OK' with frying pan in the face. This echoes the Gas man ep of Bottom.

[@BuddyFantastic]

That...was....BUWWWWWILLIANT!!!! (snort)

[@MaleficusMonocerus89]

I played the bottom theme song when Rik walked on. it worked out perfect :D

[@ThatCoalSoul]

Ten years later and Friday the 19th of March 2021 won't be the same for many reasons.

[@RoseJacksonHRJ]

I'm torn between this and Noel Fielding's performance now! I love seeing Rik and Ade together again

[@zazuzazz5419]

Hannah Rose Jackson ...Hauntingly mesmerizing!!! And don’t forget Robert Webb’s riveting “Flash dance”!!! What a feeling!!!

[@Davew5183]

I really hope so, tv needs more Rik and Ade, and other old comedians

[@UnluckyAmulet]

I'm still in love with Rik and Ade, even if they are about 30+ years older then me. XD

[@SimonNemeth]

Welcome back Richie & Eddie, it's been a while.

[@babymoondancer]

That dude is astoundingly secure.

[@satchfan2010]

I would have liked to see Rik (pretend) to knock that male presenter with the frying pan. He is so smug and obviously loves himself. It was great to see Rik and Ade reunited on stage, for the first time in 8 years. I, like other's thought they has a falling out over the years.

[@callumwhite516]

satchfan2010 they we’re still very close they just wanted to act in different things and didn’t want to work together anymore

[@DraciaNightcat]

Rik and Ade reunited... my life is 50% improved.

[@saintsjordan]

PLEASE!!! One more Bottom episode, or one more tour!!!

[@fatchris101]

Adrian Edmondson and Rik Mayall are writing a sitcom about an old people’s home. The comic duo - best known for student comedy The Young Ones and anarchic show Bottom, which followed two jobless flatmates - promise the new show will be as crazy as their previous efforts, despite featuring a much older generation of characters. Adrian told The Sun newspaper: “Rik and I have an idea for a sitcom for when we are very, very old. We want to set it in an old people’s home 30 years hence.

[@harryturner8701]

It’s funny how much Rick Mayall looks like Greg Davies

[@redpiller6050]

So funny and at the same time so sombre.

[@littlestlibra]

haha, at 2:17 Alex looked terrified! But that was a fantastic routine!

[@Snoopy3321]

I know it was just a joke for him to do that ballet piece but I think he actually did really good.

[@wesker100000000]

Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson: Funny as hell, damn bbcs gone down the crapper with it's comedy now, watching these 2 was a good example of what good comedy is.

[@Davidofsmeg]

It's not a bird it's Eddie!

[@metalfromthearchives]

Rik, still missed 😪😖
