BBC Radio 5 live In Short, Greg Davies Rik Mayall was a 'force of nature

[@BooNube]

Here's to Greg, Rik's illegitimate son - the bastard son of everyone's favourite complete bastard - for giving us all a last great Rik performance to cherish.

[@BooNube]

Which by means of clarification, I mean he let Rik be Rik on telly again.

[@raylooney1788]

BooNube We knew what you meant...and an excellent comment it was too.

[@AceripXF]

BooNube AMEN

[@therespectedlex9794]

Is Miranda Heart Greg's half sister? Rik liked a tall one, every now and again.

[@raylooney1788]

Wonderful heartfelt tribute from a man that really means it.

What id give to have met rik mayall when he was alive gone too soon but will always be a legend

[@AceripXF]

Laura Marie same here i wanted to meet him so bad i live all the way in america

[@tolley2009]

look at the hurt Greg had when he was talking about rik.....god rest his soul there's only one mayallxx

[@ackerjawaka4742]

Casting Rik as his dad was a master stroke ♠️

[@MayorofDipshittery-lq7if]

Greg Davies would’ve fitted right in as a cast member on The Young Ones.

[@martinlynn4733]

My comedy hero and I will always miss Rik till the end of time

[@scottiegirl2041]

So nice Greg got to work with him before he passed away.

Drop dead fred was the first movie i ever remember watching as a child this man had a heart of gold only famous person ive ever been upset about loosing and it still bothers me to this day.

[@Frosty-oj6hw]

I saw the Christmas special and it was really well put together, it made me miss Rik all over again, which is just a testament to how much of an impact he had on me and my peers as we grew up. It's so sad to think we won't get to see any more of his brilliance on screen, it feels almost selfish to feel that way. I'd sure he'd respond by saying "stop being such a big girls blouse". I miss ya Rik, RIP.

I loved the bloke still hurts now I genuinely shed a tear when we lost the legend, I was brought up with the young ones and bottom and the comic strip , I was lucky enough to watch guest house paradiso with my late father at the cinema back in the day I was underage RIP chaps ✌️

[@fornamnefternamn9858]

Greg and Rik, my two heroes of comedy. RIP Rik ❤

[@holliexbx5613]

One of the reasons I love Greg and am jealous of him lol. Rip Rik, love you always 💔

[@p.sandratangkulung6451]

Rik, his “dad”, died and then 2 months later, his real dad died 🥺

[@joski9030]

Oh shit I didn’t know that that’s proper sad

[@7thheathen]

Gotta hand it to Greg for keeping it together and making no bones about what Rick meant to him. Good stuff!

[@garydavies601]

Watch Rick's lastish film One By One... It will open your eyes.

[@Davidnumber23]

[@primetime_mitch]

There’ll never be another Rik ever - the biggest loss

[@Davidnumber23]

Rik was switched on to the sinister forces controlling us too , top top man ✌

[@skullandbones1832]

❤🙏
