For such a lighthearted show, this was probably one of the most serious interviews Rik ever had on camera. Despite joking about his own death and survival, he got suddenly serious (and rightfully so) thinking about how his daughters narrowly survived his fate. Medically, this story is one of the most fascinating. Not only is it a miracle that the blood managed to disappear overnight, but it's amazing how incredibly well Rik was able to recover after literally dying. It's true that he did suffer from epilepsy and other health problems afterwards for the rest of his life, but honestly there are so many people with brain injuries that are never able to get back half as much as he was able to. Thank god for him, and for us as well!

Wow, I didn't know the bit about the blood disappearing mysteriously. Maybe love and fear of losing his kids, them being fatherless, and saying goodbye forced his body to recover. Amazing story. I don't know the guy personally but I do know he's seriously changed ever since his accident. He's softer and more in touch with his feminine side from what I've seen/read. Maybe it happened for a reason. I'm glad for him and all his kids that something good came out of such a horrible accident. :)

Not to be pedantic, but the electrical impulses which trigger heartbeats derive from the brain, and brain damage can easily cause irregularities in the firing of the SA node. I am not a doctor but I am a medical assistant, and pretty much every "heart attack" patient I've seen had history of strokes or brain injuries. Heavy smoking also (eventually) depresses the systems which fire off impulses, often causing the patient to slowly reduce lung function (that is, the brain stops sending clear messages to the autonomic systems) and then the same for the heart which may suffer from arrested sinus activity (that is, a "heart attack"). For the sake of simplicity, most people (PR firms included) simply declare it a heart attack, because an explanation like the one I just gave is not something that goes into headlines well. That said, I love him and miss him.

Dean McFarlane yes both my kids, who are older than you, really liked him. Even now, particularly The Young Ones, is still unique, and STILL ahead of it's time and our time!
So sad seeing this now.
Aaaahhh Rik, I'm so upset that he's gone 😭😥 R.I.P to a lovely, funny, warm man xxx
I first saw Rik on telly when i was about 4 in the young ones and was instantly hooked on his style of comedy , that was 31 years ago and i can honestly say i will never tire of seeing him on screen , the world would be a far less funnier place without him , Rik... You are a legend!!!
2018 and it still isn't any easier. Such a talent. A truly brilliant man that changed people's lives
I remember coming across bottom in my first year of primary school back in 1995 late one friday evening and talking about it with my little friends the following week and how funny it was. Its testament to how funny this man was that a bunch of really young kids could pick up on it and find it hilarious. Really had me in fits of laughter whenever it was repeated.
I light a candle for him every year. He's a hero.
Aww Rik is so lovely, i love the way he tells the story with such enthusiasm haha, bless his heart, thank god he got through it all right :)
RIP Rik, U missed death once and then it caught up with you... will be remembered forever, you're a freakn legend
He was just special, even joking about something so serious. Amazing force of nature...still shocked he is gone.
RIP Rik. What an incredible story.
Rik pours out two simply amazing anecdotes and this Nick Owen chappie is SUCH a wet blanket; doesn't even react! I always suspected Rik had a beautiful voice - without the silly accents and mucking about he sounds delicious!
Miss Rick. Great hilarious brilliant and young ones cast and bottom was awesome
The man gave me so much laughter as a child. I will always remember Rik Mayall the sex god of Great Britain
he's such a great story teller, the way he sort of acts out each person! God Bless You Rik!
Sad to think it's now been 10 years since we lost this man. Rest in peace, Rik.
And the epilepsy he developed because of this killed him. Crap Thursday indeed. Miss and love you Rik.

I,m amazed he never advocated wearing a crash helmet or even staying off quad bikes altogether. But yes greatly missed.

His last film “ONE BY ONE “ is the reason he died !,, it’s all about the New World Order and the genocide going on now ,,,, and he knew !!!!! So they silenced him
This is from back in the day when an interview allowed the subject to speak. Great interview
I'm glad he is ok. Love him x
One of the funniest people i have ever seen, and such a nice guy. RIP
I love his work too but its all over the internet that he did this back when he was starting or already doing The Young Ones. I'm glad he didn't leave us through this accident and it sounds like he's grown up as we all do.

Young Ones early 80s. Accident 1998.
Brought a lump to my throat, a lovely fella. Gonna miss you Rik.
The fact that Rik pulled through, gives me faith that there is some justice in the world after all. If he had died, I'd have been campaigning to parliament for a state funeral. Whenever I've had a bad time of it, or a shit day at work or whatever, nothing pulls you out of it like a classic bit of Rik and Ade! Love them to bits!
I wish I could of met this man even for a minute ❤️
Thanks for posting! =)
Seeing KZread videos from 15 years ago makes me feel so old

But happy to have them!❤️
2 iconic hilarious legendary actors died in 2014. Rik Mayall, and Robin Williams. So sad
Rik made God laugh so much he decided to send him back to us but not for long enough I think that Rik would have kept all that energy into his 80s that amount of energy it's hard to believe that it can be gone
So sad he is no longer with us... RIP Rik! You made me laugh so many times... a true legend of comedy.
I find it adorable how his early video here (Poetry) not only was hilarious, but he had no idea how we loved him. Thats part of his charm. Hopefully, he understands how much comedy joy he brings us.
RIP Rik....Comedy genius.
Coming up to 10 years since Rik left us may he rest in peace 🙏❤️❤️.
Rip Rik Mayall. A true comedy legend.
RIP Rik
Incredible person.
I miss him more than any other actor.
Never knew about Rik's accident. RIP to the legend.
Ryk was and always will be my comedy God. I have everything he put on dvd.
That was a miracle dear man a miracle. You bring so much joy to so many and are dearly loved. Bless you may you have many healthy happy years with your children and family.
Such talent so sad he went to soon he's a legend ,miss you rik thankyou for making me and millions laugh
that's extraordinary. thank god he's alright! bless you rik! i love this man.
That's probably the most serious I've ever seen him and he still threw in a few jokes. Just shows how delicate us humans are because that accident left him with several ailments for the rest of his life which serious accidents tend to do. Be careful out there folks and rest in peace you wickedly funny and humble chap.
I love this man so much. Thank you God for letting him live.
Always effortlessly funny. RIP Rik.
He comes across as a genuinely nice bloke.

Maybe was.
Wow, I didn't know the bit about the blood disappearing mysteriously. Maybe love and fear of losing his kids, them being fatherless, and saying goodbye forced his body to recover. Amazing story. I don't know the guy personally but I do know he's seriously changed ever since his accident. He's softer and more in touch with his feminine side from what I've seen/read. Maybe it happened for a reason. I'm glad for him and all his kids that something good came out of such a horrible accident. :)
I'm glad he got through it ok, hes one of my favorite comedians.
Im still bummed about one of my comedy heroes leaving this mortal coil. This guy is hugely responsible for my sense of humour. I quote him and Ade Edmonsons lines all the time :) Bottom and The Young Ones were huge parts of my childhood and young adulthood. I miss him already :'(
RIP
The way that Rik puts it is that he saved his daughter's and his niece's life as well. Awww, ever the gentleman!
I'm so glad he was given those extra years, but in the end he was stolen from us far to soon. Almost ten long years without you Rik 💔
If only he could have come back again... I miss him. The world misses him. The world is a shit place without him. ❤❤
He was the only so called celeb who I ever wanted to meet. Still gutted I never got the chance to meet him. Legend
Lovely man 💐 So missed ❤️
hearing Rik say he died gave me such a weird feeling, I’ll always miss Rik
Omg, so hard his passing. Fun seems to have left the funny right now. This too will pass and the sun will shine once more. Rik Mayall, King of Awesome. R.I.P.
Sadly I think his accident was the one that killed him in the end, under lying issue and all that, had it of not been for his accident in 98 then I think he would still be with us, RIP Rik your a legend!
Once in every life time comes a love like this
How can anybody unlike this he is a legend
Filthy Rich and Catflap is one of the best comedy series EVER made.
he was a good man and il never forget his last film he made onebyone if youve not seen it watch it and he said at the end of it switch your tv off and i might be dead by time you see this . only place you can buy the film is ebay but i no it was on youtube . rip rik you was a comedy genius but left loads of laughs for us all to still watch

That's not quite right- the apocalyptical rant at the camera is from - Behind the scenes, Midsummer Murders 2001, on YT, good stuff, he loved to do this, started smashing TVs in the YOs!
Rik really was an absolute gem, a true comedy genius but still very modest. A lovely man, he really will be very sadly missed. RIP Rik, I will never forget you.
Thanx.
Miss him hugely. One of the great talents.
funniest man who ever lived
All of you saying this accident killed him in the end; even his wife said it was a heart attack!

Not to be pedantic, but the electrical impulses which trigger heartbeats derive from the brain, and brain damage can easily cause irregularities in the firing of the SA node. I am not a doctor but I am a medical assistant, and pretty much every "heart attack" patient I've seen had history of strokes or brain injuries. Heavy smoking also (eventually) depresses the systems which fire off impulses, often causing the patient to slowly reduce lung function (that is, the brain stops sending clear messages to the autonomic systems) and then the same for the heart which may suffer from arrested sinus activity (that is, a "heart attack"). For the sake of simplicity, most people (PR firms included) simply declare it a heart attack, because an explanation like the one I just gave is not something that goes into headlines well. That said, I love him and miss him.
omg. Bless him! He's amazing!
Just Wow to the whole story. Those girls were incredibly lucky as was Rik. He is even more of a legend to me now 🙌 Utmost respect 🙏 R.I.P
"Lord knows I'm a modest man, that I beat Jesus by two days." LOL He is a fantastic comedian and an absolute legend. I'm so glad he survived brain damage from crashing his quad bike and I thank God for letting him live.
I certainly hope so! Rik Mayall's brilliance has kept me laughing for years! and I can only pray that it continues to do so for many years to come!
A true british legend right there. Rik Mayall, I salute you.
i just realised hes getting teary at the end. poor rik!
