Top 10 Reasons Why Rik Mayall Will Be Missed

The Top Ten

1 He Was Really Funny

Every episode of every show he was in has left me in stitches.

History will not forget this comic genius.

No doubting this. RIP to this comedy legend

2 He Was In Great TV Shows

He wrote and starred in a show called "Bottom." With Adrian Edmunson. Every episode was unbelievably funny. And he was in The Young Ones. (Probably his best known role). And starred as Lord Flashart in another one of my favourite old shows, Blackadder. Which stars Rowan Atkinson. The list goes on!

3 His Catchphrases

My Dad still says, "See you in the morning, NOT too early." That comes from another episode of "Bottom."

4 When He Died, A Documentary Was Made About Him

It was on at Christmas 2014. I watched it. And an episode of "The Young Ones" afterwards.

5 His Autobiography

You honestly can't go a page without stumbling on one of his sexual problems!

6 He Was Unique

He was indeed... He really, really was...

Yes, he was very unique.

7 When He Died, The Bench In "Bottom" Was Put Back Up

There's a picture of me and one of my friends reinacting the opening scene for "Bottom."

8 He Had Family

9 There Were Talks of Future Projects

10 He Was Iconic

The Contenders

11 He Died Young

I forgot to put this on the list the first time. Anyway, 56 is just too young to die.

12 He Was Very Young

13 He Had So Much to Live For
