Winston Legthigh Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Oh wow. Was that why we were just talking about (p)Rick in the Cliff Richard thread?? He was great as Lord Flashheart in the Blackadder series too. RIP Rick: [trying to host a party] That's my flatmate Vyvyan. Hi, Vyvyan, what are you doing? Vyvyan: [pauses from doing push-ups] Shut up, you girl! Rick: [laughs] He's incredible! I'm not a girl at all! Mind you, we're all pretty potty in this house. Last night, right, we were all watching the television and it was a program we wanted to watch, you know, and, uh, we were just watching it and right in the middle of it, I got up and turned it off! Mad! I don't care what I do, you know. Unless it's work or anything like that, you know. Last Wednesday we stayed up 'til one o'clock in the morning! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NoJ Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 I loved Rik's character, he was great! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
twoshedsjackson Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 Rik was such a huge part of my teenage years. And beyond. The Young Ones, Comic Strip (especially Bad News), Filthy, Rich & Catflap, Bottom, The New Statesman... 56 years old. Way too young. What a shit day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Albert Tatlock Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Yeah shame ...A lot of his stuff was of its time but doesn't stand up too well now, but I remember it fondly.The Dangerous Brothers was a particular favourite. I have been known to use the "I have no brakes" catchphrase to this day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
