Kevin Turvey Investigates... The Supernatural

Kevin Turvey Investigates... Episode 10: The Supernatural
Kevin Turvey (brilliantly played by Rik Mayall) was a self-styled "investigative journalist" who lived with his mum, wore a shapeless blue anorak, fancied a local girl called Theresa Kelly (who was never seen), and rarely ventured outside Redditch. Each week, his "investigations" amounted to no more than an over-excited, rambling, uninformed monologue delivered to camera in a monotonous West Midlands accent.

This sketch - and the one with the novel written inside the freezer - were the first I saw with mr Turvey - and I laughed so hard I almost died actually.. Miss you like crazy, Mr Mayall.

[@emanboogie]

As you probably spotted, it was completely great

Rik Mayall a comedy Legend for me, R.I.P

[@meceltic62]

sad day

[@iainholmes2735]

Absolutely. I remember watching the first ever Comic Relief Live show (theatre performance aired on tv in Spring '86). I honestly thought Rik's performance with the Young Ones was the funniest thing ever. It was a halcyon age for comedy.

[@noriemeha]

IMO Kevin was his greatest creation.

[@living4ward2it]

The Highly Observant Eye of Kevin Turvey, at once daft, original and genius.

[@gascoignep]

Will be sadly missed...a one off.

[@clownnookie]

What's the backstory on the Kevin Turvey character? As a longtime fan of the Young Ones, I'm wondering when and how Kevin Turvey was presented. He came out before the Young Ones? And they wedged his clips between actual proper shows? Or was he part of a larger sketch program?

[@craigeast3682]

clownnookie As far as I remember it was before the Young Ones and on a sketch show "a kick up the 80's"

[@kdp8133]

Yes, it was before the Young Ones. Check out the Man Behind the Green Door

[@socialmediaavoider]

He reminds of those idiots who go around “auditing” things

[@michealcurrie8272]

Star.

[@calum769]

He is mental!!!

[@BeetleMama]

Blimey, I remember that all as being a lot funnier.....I guess I am older now.

[@IDidItSidsWay]

was this before or after The Young Ones?

[@iaincowell9747]

before

[@thefreedomguyuk]

@@iaincowell9747 Biggest bump ever ?? (-;

[@myoldmate]

I think he used to do this on a programme called A Kick Up The Eighties. Without checking I Richard Stilgoe was the main man.

[@Burnzi2]

Fine line between brummy and south african

[@thefreedomguyuk]

Guessing the line is the use of the F-word in every sentence...

[@NAAADES]

Rik sounds like Steve Coogan here.

[@briantaylor7743]

Why does God always take the BEST

[@diskgrinder]

Because he’s a non existent cube

[@treborob]

The "canned" laughter ruins it.
