I’m a taxi driver in Liverpool and had the pleasure of Rik being a passenger in my cab . Anyway I was on the cb radio to my mate billy and told him I had rik mayall in my cab . Billy didn’t believe me so asked me to ask rik to shout “Vivienne “ down the radio mic 🎤. Rik duly obliged in his best young ones accent . Myself rik and billy were pissing ourselves laughing what a good sport he was . Rip rik 👍

The same. Him and Robin Williams - makes me sad.

Rik Mayall was simply adorable! Funny, erudite, charming, dashing and unashamedly British! I miss him! 👑

I spent three months on a Greyhound bus with Rik. (We were touring the US in a UK production of The Comedy of Errors.) First off, as he says here, and Stephen Fry has said, he was incredibly beautiful. An Adonis. Which comedians are not expected to be. And when he was crackingly funny, which he constantly was, it was as unexpectedly, anarchically shocking as his gesture here, when he says 'Smack him!' If we are 'a product of what has gone before', I flatter myself that he is in me, still. (I'd not seen him for six months, when in London, I walked into a pub in Belsize Park, and he was at the bar. He'd barely clocked me, before he yelled "I thought I told you to wait in the car!" His wit was that quick). "Self, self, self, it's all about me!" How we need that satire today! How we are not permitted the violence of his essential satire today! "Dead for five days?" Nope. Alive, beloved, beautiful Rik, for as long as I am alive, at least.

Cut down at such a young age. A wise man, and a professional in all that he did. I seen him in straight acting roles, and even more amazing.

Cray Fishe It’s not worship, it’s who and what appeals to me. You disagree. Fair enough. We’re both entitled to our opinions.

He was so funny just being himself, such an artist with great intelligence but so sad that a lot of people couldn't see past the slap stick and bad language of his work to see the depth of his work. Rest easy mate and thanks for the wild comedy ride you gave us.

The end of an era. Bottom got me thru a very very difficult youth and made me laugh. Thank you Rik for being the comic madman that you were. We will always miss and love you mate. Why do people have to leave us so soon?

Rik was the most generous funny guy on the planet... the peoples poet has been taken away from us all far to young. so so sad. xx

Still hard to believe such a talented man has gone.

I was in need of some lite relief,what with all the misery in the world these days. I just watched a wonderful recorded interview on KZread with Stan Laurel in 1959. That really cheered me up,then I watched this incredible and wonderful interview with Rik. And I have come to the conclusion that they are cast from the same mould. What a thing it would be to be able to have a drink or three with these two fantastically funny and charming men.

And We can't say we were young ones. But we can be grateful for your brilliant Tv.

Rest in peace Mr Mayall. You brought so many so much joy, especially me as a youngster. The Peoples Poet will always be remembered.

Such a delightfully charming and witty interview. Genuinely gutted he's gone.

He knew too much about important people.

"Hey girls. Look at my machinery!" Long live Lord Flashheart.

I was round my mates house watching an episode of Bottom. The way Rik conveyed pure stress when repeating his order to the Police down the phone made us laugh so hard. We have laughed at that many many times since. "SANDWICHES!" and "Oh God this is real" after kicking the shit out of the gas man.

He was a absolute gem loved him from day one. Its a sad world without our Rik god bless xx
