    I was flabbergasted there.... actually had to check you weren't on some strange wind up.  Have always loved Rik Mayall.  He did seem to age quite rapidly over the last few years. 

    It seems really strange because Rik Mayall has been part of the comedic and cultural landscape of my entire life.

    RIP.

    Really sad. Absolutely brilliant performer and a far wider range than a lot of people might think.

    Blimey, that's awful. Loved him in pretty much everything I saw him in. The Bottom stage show was almost unbearably funny. A sad day.

    Damn. He went to the same school as me, although he was much older and I never knew him there. But not *that* much older :(.

    RIP.

    Wow :'( horrible news - I grew up on stuff like Bottom and Blackadder, and discovering Bad News and The Young Ones later pretty much informed my band and student years. RIP Colin :(

    Kevin  Turvey investigative reporter.

    He's been an alternative comedian so long that he's now mainstream. Just a few months older than me too!
    No news yet on the cause of death.

    I am deeply saddened by the news and send my deep sympathies to his family and friends.
