He very often meantion his crash with the quadbike, as he said: Ive been terrible busy being unconcious and dead and things like that (he was in a coma in a few days).
I could listen to this man's voice all day and all night for the rest of my life... Love Rik - funny as hell as all his characters, and love seeing another side of him in interviews. x
When Rik gives his interviews, he's always hidden under a character called 'The Rik'. He doesn't like people knowing who he really is. I imagine he's a caring, self-concious softie and nothing like any of his characters :)
He doesn't talk much as himself - he seems ill at ease having to drop the character, all the same, thanks for posting, you don't see him interviewed often.
Yes, but on another note, how old was Rik Mayall when he did the "new statesman"? I heard you can't get into politics until you're at least 35, but I just can't get get past the fact that Alan B'stard looks about 25! did Alan lie about his age or did Rik Mayall age better than I thought?
It looks natural if nothing else. But I'll never be able to see Rik Mayall as somebody old and decrepit, he has too much energy! even now! I'll have to see him in a wheelchair before that happens, and even then I'll STILL see him as the funniest guy ever!
I can't get my head around it, 50?! hopefully even that # will do nothing but slow Rik Mayall down a bit, if we're all lucky, 60 still won't be enough to stop his brilliance, and if we're REALLY lucky, 70 will need to go out of it's WAY to weaken his massive charm and talent!
I saw The New Statesman in Ipswich in April. Rik Mayall was magnificent, he didn't disappoint. Such a shame he became ill and couldn't finish the tour.
God I miss these guys. The BEST group of comedy actors since Monty Python. Rik Mayal, Adrian Edmondson & his wife Jennifer Saunders, Nigel Planer, and Dawn French. I know most are still working, but here in the US it's not often you come across any of them. Some of the best series had most of these guys... The Comic Strip Presents... The Young Ones Filthy Rich & Catflap Bottom Absolutely Fabulous French & Saunders The Vicar Of Dibly Too bad they're not better known here in The States
that woman is no doubt the lesbian bitch who turned down bottom series 4
