A young (and spotty! - thanks to the BBC make-up department) Rik interviewed by Terry Wogan on his 1980s Saturday night chat show - FIRST 5 MINUTES OR SO ACCIDENTALLY TAPED OVER!

He moved to Devon and we would often see him walking around town. He was so friendly, We both parked next to each other once and as I was getting my 3 month old baby out of the car he asked how old she was, He said his youngest daughter was also 3 months old only a few days a part, he stroked her Chin smiling and said she's beautiful ❤️ love having that memory of him ❤️

For many people this would have been their first view of Rik Mayall as himself. Handsome to the point of being outright pretty, softly but well spoken, a bit shy when out of his comfort zone. What they in their torpor saw as weird, monstrous, confronting and a representation of social decline was really a quite sweet and not at all threatening young man. Those of us who grew up on a steady diet of The Young Ones watched repeatedly on video (Yes, we've got a video!) loved it because it was so funny, violent, gross and silly. But we also loved it because it made our elders feel threatened. We knew something they didn't, which is rare when you're a kid.

"A joke is an epigram on the death of a feeling" Friedrich Nietszche. You laugh at someone slipping on a banana skin because you are instantly alarmed by the sight of someone violently thrown to the ground with their arms and legs everywhere. In the second or so it takes you to realise that it is just someone slipping on a banana skin that feeling dies; hence the laughter.
