"Take Mr Jolly out...and I don't mean to the bingo!"

We took him out. We took him to The Dorchester (ok that was Ade, but it was still the funniest thing I've ever seen on TV)

Will be very sadly missed.
His role as one half of Dreamytime Escorts in Mr Jolly Lives Next Door was genius !

Keep hoping that this will appear on Netflix or similar. Also starred Peter Cook and the legendary Nicholas Parsons. "....Take out Nicholas Parsons!"

 

[The Orange Seagull]

Very sad news, RIP Rik.

Going to have to get my Comic Relief Box Set out later tonight and watch some of those classic shows. A fist full of travellers cheques being just one highlight.

'Neil, your bedrooms on fire!'

This!
... is the one liner that will always sit in my memory of Rik Mayll

For those that don't recall, The Young Ones had all just moved into a new house and were arguing over who was to have which bedroom. Rik & Ade both wanted the same room and neither would back down so Ade [I think] set light to the bed.
They both then said together: "Neil, your bed's [or was it bedroom's] on fire!"

Genius ...

RIP

Probably a very *******ized (no pun intended) version of that quote from me because I haven't seen it since the 80s on TV.

Shocking news RIP young one

Actor and long-time friend Adrian Edmondson said of Rik Mayall: "There were times when Rik and I were writing together when we almost died laughing. They were some of the most carefree stupid days I ever had, and I feel privileged to have shared them with him.

"And now he's died for real. Without me. Selfish b*****d."

Not a big fan of the wailing and gnashing of teeth that always accompanies somebody who did their best work a quarter of a century ago and wasn't all that funny at the time (be honest!).

[Willy Dangle]

Cliff will be gutted. You know what they say 'dirty pants clean botty' RIP genius.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

O.k.

You see, this is where we need something like, oh, a Thumbsup or Thumbsdown option...

Without it, your contribution isn't really worth the four key strokes it was written on.

Prick - Don't you think that his quad bike accident had something to do with his less than prolific output over the past few years?

 

[Northstander]

Well this news has topped my day off!

Bad News, Mr Jolly lives next door and Bottom!

Quality, feel for his Family and of course Ade Edmonson
