I am absolutely gutted about this. I have loved everything he has ever done since I was a kid.

Blackadder IV Flying Training - YouTube
I have plenty of more important things to do, if only I could bring myself to do them....

I only knew him through Blackadder, and he was such a commanding personality I had to immediately Google all about him.

R.I.P.


Bottom was the series for me, and Flashheart in Blackadder.

Woof!

It'll be much easier if you just comply.

Under appreciated series was Filthy, Rich and Catflap. Sort of a Young Ones revisited. Also, try and find the Comic Strip episode Mr Jolly Lives Next Door. Where you get Peter Cook as a bonus!

A few interview videos I hadn't seen before

NSFW. Swearings.

on Letterman, promoting Drop Dead Fred https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPf5RrYPXYs
talking about being cast as Peeves in Harry Potter, then being cut from the film Rik Mayall talks Harry Potter - YouTube

It'll be much easier if you just comply.
