Such a legend, love Ade Edmondson, and as for Rik Mayall - we all miss you. 😢

[@diggintheblueswithaparrot1329]

Shut up ya girl

[@clivesnell]

Saw Rik at the Shakespeare theatre in Stratford 40+ years ago, will never forget it 😂

[@timhall3575]

I hope Ade knows how much we love him. We love you Ade.

[@stewmott3763]

@@Mors_Inimicis Maybe not. Then again, there was a nice moment when I saw him and his band The Bad Shepherds at a festival a few years ago. The tent was absolutely packed with fans of Ade (and of music), and a couple of songs into the set the cheers had got particularly loud. When it died down, Ade shyly stepped up to the mike and said "Aww, you lot are fucking lovely!"

[@TheScortUK]

Ade is a proper national treasure - he and Rik were such a big part of my life growing up

[@mrjamescurry]

Not sure whether it’s me, but it felt like he is carrying a weight of sadness with him. What a lovely man.

[@scottiegirl2041]

He says in his autobiography he had a basically loveless and strict Methodist upbringing. He was the only one of his parents' children to be sent to an English boarding school, while the rest of the family were on the missions somewhere in Africa. This was something he never understood. And the frying pan gags come from when he was staying with his grandparents. His grandfather came home late one night drunk, and his grandmother whacked him with a frying pan in front of Ade. It's amazing he's turned out so lovely and charming - I'm glad he knew love from Rik, and knows love from the family he has with Jennifer Saunders.

[@TheMrBigJeff]

I love this man. In the way of completely understanding what it’s like to lose half of your life when your best mate dies. I hope he knows how much joy he brings the world by simply showing his face in public. He’s a legend. They both are. Much love to Ade Edmondson and Rik Mayall. And to everyone of yOu who reads this 🙏🙌☀️

[@124Outdoor]

Never met him, but he feels like a friend as he’s been with me since 1982. Good bloke!

[@drew8958]

Our chemistry teacher would put "the young ones" on tape and if we did well in class, he would wheel the video recorder and TV into class and he would play it for us ..... everyone just stopped burning the person beside them with a bunsen burner and focussed on the TV 😆! Good times - He was was my best teacher - top guy !

Yeah - to look forward to Chemistry lessons🤣 It worked 😆@@KlimtEastwood

[@shadzsta]

I bought the audio version read by Ade himself and it's amazingly good, well worth it!

[@shadzsta]

Yes it is

[@7clippers1]

I’m reading it and it is a hilarious read. Didn’t realise he does an audiobook, I missed out there 😂

[@yolandajones4990]

Comes across as very humble, very down to earth guy. Makes me love him even more 😊

[@nicotinewisdom481]

always comes across a genuine guy and always as a cheeky wit about him

[@wespearcey5953]

Ade and Rik are comedy geniuses, let's not forget Nigel, he was prevalent in everything that eventually led up to Bottom!!

[@EricaNernie]

"It's the gas man!!!" Still makes me laugh, no matter how many times I watch it.

[@garywebber417]

We love you Ade…. You’re an institution……you and Rik…(god rest his soul)…were absolutely BRILLIANT…thankyou both……

[@ProjectFlashlight612]

The saddest thing was that fact about all great things and lives that end abruptly...we ll never know if the best was yet to come. But we cherish what we have. Long may Rik and Ade's work shine.

[@davepowell7168]

The comedic alchemy which happened when Ade and Rik collided made life magical in the last century, regardless of how self deprecating Ade speaks of himself

[@JayS1889]

I’ll always remember seeing Ade and Rik live in Brighton and someone shouted from the audience “have a wank” (from bottom) and they stopped the show and laughed and the whole audience laughed with them. A memorable experience. RIP RIK Mayall.

[@lawofaverages5373]

Wonderful man on and off screen. A national treasure. Thank you for a huge part of my comedy youth in the 80s.

[@JayJay-tm9gx]

Grew up watching this legend with Rik, love them both and good to see him looking well !!

[@GaryWayneHill64]

Would love to see Ade play Vivian as a consultant in today's NHS or even private (yeah, he'd probably be private), would be comedy gold I have no doubt.

[@sratus]

His autobiography is fantastic. I laughed and cried.

got to love him, Rik and Ade were pure magic together. Bottom still makes me ill with laughter, the 1st 3 live shows were the best, Loved the 1st two more though. Such a shame we lost Rik, i do miss him deeply, i often wondered if they would have done another live tour again, even now if Rik was still here.

[@JayS1889]

Ade and Rik will be forever comedic legends. Bottom will always be British humour.

[@coffeeguy6673]

I was repairing a coffee machine at a Shell garage on the A1 some years ago and Ade came in, instantly recognisable. I said hello as we both headed into the toilets, I thought, oh, this is a bit awkward, I don't want him to think I'm just being weird, I did actually need a jimmy riddle so opted for the cubicle. He did say hello back and smiled as he headed back out to his vehicle. Was a pleasant encounter. Love him in Bottom with Rik ( RIP, greatly missed ) and he's played a serious role in a Police drama, forget which one it was though.

[@Cureboy1]

Loved him in Bottom with Rik Mayall (RIP). True legends.

[@46Ashgrove]

Seen them both live on stage, memories to keep a life time ❤ I’m 66 and don’t mind saying, I cried when news of RM’s death came through. Also seen RM live on stage, in the new statesman.

[@johnbernhardtsen3008]

in the early 90s a school friend of me and my kid bro visited us in the autumn, asked about if we knew The Young Ones, since we only knew them from that series, we nodded and told we loved the ending a lot!he then went home 2 hallways down the block, came back with 2 vhs tapes with Bottom!we made coffee and had a great laugh watching those!

They wouldn't allow the young ones or bottom anywhere near BBC schedules these days !!! Ade is a great talent, and musician too.

[@jeffsimon9594]

Even back then! A hardline feminist BBC programmer called Jane Root killed off the 3rd series of Bottom back in the '90s.. according to Rick & Ade it was reportedly shaping up to be the best one yet..

That pic of the two of them as students is pure class 🤣

[@markchapin750]

Good interview, nice seeing interviewers not constantly interrupting.

[@fishchipsandmushypeas]

Love you Ade.

[@JohnArchbell]

I can resonate with the school beatings. I went to boarding school where punishments ranged from a slipper struck onto a bare arse or 12 of the cane and injuries would draw blood that would seep into your pants afterwards. Safe to say I don’t hold many amazing memories of school. I got through it by staying close to a tight knit group of friends. Ade, I get you. Lots of love to you.

[@longjonwhite]

@JohnArchbell. I know how that feels mate, most of my friends are tight nits too.

[@Ground53]

Yeah, a lot of those teachers should be in prison for what they did.

Ade is bang on, Arthur Lowe was incredibly funny with a script, skilled at timing and generally humorous acting. But I saw him at a Water Rats event. He was the speaker for the evening. No character at all I was shocked, droll dry humour not an act. Stunned. I think it was also televised.
