Ode to Rik Mayall - by Rob Spratt I remember the 80's, when I was still in my teens when four crazy students ignited our screens. The show was The Young Ones. I simply adored it. So funny and different, like nothing before it. The stories were crazy, the characters insane, a collection of misfits who lived in my brain. There wasn't a playground, where the youth at the time, weren't doing impressions or reciting the lines. And like 'Cliff' before it, the key thing it did was shock all the parents and delight all the kids. The show was anarchic and it hit with such force, that it redefined humour and changed history's course. There was Vyvyan the punk who was completely insane, a violent psychotic, who had a girl's name. A loony tunes cartoon, always having fits, and whose solution to all was to smash it to bits. And then there was Neil, the one who dug graves. The peace-loving hippy, abused like a slave. He'd cook for them all - chickpeas or lentils, and he found it quite heavy in a house full of mentals. And what about Mike? So chilled, suave, yet so shady. He fancied himself as one for the ladies. He was always so cool, wearing shades was his norm, with his laid-back persona, he was the calm in the storm. And so on to Rik, who looked up to Mike. But Rik was the housemate that nobody liked. He was shallow and childlike, his tantrums unreal, always fighting with Vyv or else picking on Neil. Rik was deluded, and thought he was great, but to everyone else was a figure of hate. The self-proclaimed poet, who 'spoke for the youth', but to say he spoke rubbish was nearer the truth. Oh how I loved the look on Rik's face when he thought he'd put someone back in their place. His hands on his hips, all Rigsby-style snorting, gaffawing; the self-satisfied smile. The others just scoffed at his pompous pretensions and ignored him whenever he demanded attention. Frustrated and angry, didn't know what to do, that was our Rik, the rebel with no clue. So, many years later, it's all in the past. Did they know at the time they'd made something to last? Something important, a stand-out by far, that would affect our culture and the way that we are? Thank you to Rik, Chris, Nigel and Ade for being the Young Ones and the parts that you played. To some it may seem that you were just being daft but no doubt in my mind, masters of your craft. And thank you to Lise and Ben and to Rik for writing what is, a true Brit classic. Of course they all went on to do far more besides But The Young Ones was really where they hit their stride. So, it's thirty years on, and out of the blue, the TV and web were alive with the news that something had happened, so sudden, so quick; the nation lost a hero, a hero called Rik. I never imagined the pain that I'd feel. The shock hit me hard, still can't believe that it's real. I don't know why, I can't explain, why I've cried so much since and felt so much pain. I guess I loved Rik more than I even knew. It's like a part of me has been snatched away, too. I keep watching re-runs of the things he was in, and keep thinking of Barbara and all of his kin. And when the kids ask why the adults are crying The adults will say "because inside we're dying" "Someone we loved, a man we adored, the 'people's poet', is sadly no more". But one thing's for certain, it's since become clear That Rik was a man that his country held dear. I feel happier knowing that, and it's now a safe bet; the noble Englishman, Rik, we will never forget. Rik, ask us again, "hands up who likes me" and watch millions go up, just so you can see you were always right, that you always knew just how much love would come back at you. Now you're standing wild-eyed at the gates of heaven, And they've heard the bad news has been turned up to eleven. "Flashheart's arrived!" and while mulling your fate God's voice booms, "Bastards! Open that gate!" RIP Rik Mayall 1958 - 2014

Or maybe he just needs the money because he's pretty B-grade as a comedian and general entertainer. I mean let's be honest: Would you ever go out of your way to watch old episodes of "the Mary Whitehouse experience" like you might with (say) a Harry Enfield series, let alone part with your money to see them? Do you know anyone whose ever read one of his books let alone ever raved about it? P.S. I happen to be a distant descendent of Longshanks, which means that I have Plantagenet blood.
