Tragic.

Can't believe there were only 12 episodes of the Young Ones. Made a huge impression on me and everyone of my age (I was studying for A levels at the time).

True legend, sad loss.

I heard the news today, oh boy...

Loved Rik's character in 'The Young Ones'. I too "grew up" with the show (they were rebroadcast on MTV in the States, back when MTV actually still aired mostly music videos). These guys were geniuses.

RIP, Rik - you left us way too early.

Just 3 and a half minutes of your life....

One of my faves, 5 minutes of gratuitous comedy violence. Brilliant! RIP Rik.

I knew Rik back in the '80s.

Sad he's gone.
