Rik Mayall in Nether Wallop with the Jools Holland Big Band.

[@simondennis9200]

This is absolutely brilliant. No-one has made me laugh as much in my life as Rik Mayall. Genuinely missed.

[@kdp8133]

Rik was a national treasure. Thanks for all the laughter you gave us. You made our lives much brighter.

[@kevanbrown7620]

Rik was the funniest person on tv. He would have me in stitches, i would be crying with laughter at times.

[@GMT439]

@@kevanbrown7620Agreed.

[@Pseudonymonic]

The line about Princess Anne gets me every time. RIP Rik. You will be missed.

[@stewux]

Gets me too, I think it's the pronunciation of " Pwincess " that adds to it haha. Oh god, today is not a good day!

[@duncanmills4044]

Very missed

[@simonjz05]

Just the best line, where you can actually imagine Rik actually doing that... God I miss him.....

[@duncansmith8992]

I remember watching this in ....whenever it was, about 1986, with my mum, now 88, and us both being in tears. Rik was a one off. Bless you Rik.

[@BenFleury]

After several years I can't stop laughing at when he says 'I once showed my willie to Princess Ann'

[@TheBishopofbattle]

Maybe if you was five

[@THE_TonyFielding]

@@TheBishopofbattle You showed your willy to Princess Ann when you was 5???

[@shaun2urz]

​@@TheBishopofbattleAbsolutely right! I was five once and I still laugh at that line 😂

[@DrDougMusic1]

at 2:48 , Only this genius could turn a phrase into a classic with his voice and wicked facial expressions that many will never forget. You can see he was born to be on the stage. Still mind blowing on how he can steal a scene from the best British actors, in an episode of Black Adder named Lord Flash. One of a kind!

[@BookieKillah]

[@1dorz]

"BLOODY HELL" followed by the greatest mic drop in history... Legend!

[@ReadandWite]

This was a one-off charity event held in Nether Wallop (which nobody had heard of before or since) as an "alternative" New Year's Eve TV to the White Heather Club with Andy Stewart in the mid-80's. It ran for about 4 hours, pseudo documentary on Nether Wallop, brilliant show from Billy Connolly was for me the star attraction. Many many acts appeared. The show was staged in a hastily put together marquee in a field or the local Village Hall. Can't quite remember. Got hazy towards the end as my then wife got more and more pissed off (she didn't enjoy any of the humour) and I got more and more drunk. (She went to bed before 12 !!!). I loved it, best show ever.

[@typicalpiscean9111]

What a honour to have been there!

[@pabloraybould]

Hi - this was on TV back in the 80's. I taped it as I did with anything that Rik was in and recently found the tape. Yes, a rare old clip I would imagine. Glad to let fans get to see it.

[@Plethorality]

Thank you.

[@thesprawl2361]

You have made a lot of people happy mate, thanks

[@timjones4850]

[@davidsanderson5918]

Still funny after all these years. For me, it's that 'lunging side-to-side feet together, arms down dance' and bloody hell' at the end.

[@doctor_gibbo1392]

Followed by the immediate running off the stage

[@RatelHBadger]

It's the spastic nervous dance of a weirdo genius like Rik. I'd imagine Peewee Herman or Mr Bean would be others who could pull it off.

[@glennbraiden3310]

What a man! Much loved...much missed

The 'Evil' song should had been the Bottom theme tune.

[@jeffstone2136]

God, that's a good idea.

[@jockmackay9582]

To be fair though the bottom tune is brilliant and very fitting

[@thesprawl2361]

I clicked on this with no expectations, especially since it involved Jools Holland, but it absolutely killed me. God I love wwwrrrvvvik

Yes...couldnt agree more with you there......people say that cleese,barker milligan etc were the greatest ever but this guy for me was.

[@quaid667]

+twatlick knobcheese I love the fact that my late granddad found Rik Mayall hilarious. I would ask him "Did you watch Bottom last night?" And he usually did :)

[@raylooney1788]

quaid667 my dad would sit there with his younger late brother late at night whilst we were up in bed and all i could hear was them and their wives laughter!!

[@Gisellenid]

I still have a crush on Rik. He was just so gorgeous and talented. He could be my father, but still... ohh😍

There are two occasions when I knew my life had changed forever: the first time I ejaculated and the first time I saw the hypnotic brilliance of Rik Mayall. Spunk everywhere. He could've been the fun David Koresh if it hadn't been for the real David Koresh turning rogue and giving cults a bad name. I never got to thank you Rik, for that first hit. I'm a lifelong addict. I'll never stop missing you. Love and Love.

Koresh did not give anyone a bad name. The authorities gave Dave a bad name. There was widespread support for him in USA. He was a talented musician too

[@gibbonduder182]

Sir BookieKillah Having seen this clip more clearly on the BBC tribute to Rik, autograph guy appears to be Paul Bradley formerly of Eastenders & Red Dwarf. Guitar guy IS Otway, he's taller & way thinner.

gibbonduder182 that's what I thought - can't prove it though! Yes he played Nigel in EastEnders and Chen in Red Dwarf (had to google that last one though...)
