British comedian and actor Rik Mayall has died aged 56, according to his manager.

He played the obnoxious, poetry-writing anarchist Rick in The Young Ones alongside his friend, Adrian Edmonson.

The duo later went on to star in Bottom and he was also known for appearances in shows including Blackadder and The New Statesman.

He was left seriously ill after a quad bike accident in 1998 which left him in a coma for several days.

I just saw this myself. How awful. I was watching an episode of Jonathan Creek with him in, only the other day.

I remember him pre Young Ones as Kevin Turvey.



RIP Rik.
