#Blackadder My favorite British comedy is Blackadder followed by "The Young Ones", I loved it when they had Rik Mayall on and Adrian Edmondson on. In this we see the late great Mayall playing a recurring character, Lord Flasheart, with the future All-Star cast www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKfb...

Fun fact: I once directed Rik Mayall for a voiceover performance. He was the nicest celebrity I've ever met. Just completely down to earth, no ego, just a straight-up nice bloke.

I've been watching this TV show- Believe Nothing. I didn't know this existed. Its Rik Mayall in fine form following on from The New Statesman. It has lots of cheap gags but among those are some well observed vignettes on neo liberalism and its subsequent crimes

That moment Rik Mayall applied to Harrods.
Dear Mohammered L.,

Shut up and listen. I’ve got a f-cking great idea for your pre-Christmas sales drive. If you give me five hundred thousand quid, I’ll come into your store twice a week for a month and wander around buying lots of stuff and saying how great it is. I can say all this in one of my trademark loud voices that I’m so good at. You could do with some proper sleebrity endorsement. What do you reckon? Are we on? Please forward cheque and it’s a deal.

Keep up the good work. Job done.

Yours with, erm, whatever it is that they say at the end of letters like this,

The Rik Mayall (hi-profile actor and stand-up icon)
