Goodbye, Rik. You'll live on forever.

He was one of my few "heroes" growing up.
Bottom was my "naughty" show that I was never allowed to watch as a child, but my parents eventually let me and watched it themselves. What I loved about Rik was he was just as insane in real life as the characters he played. Ade Edmondson on the other hand is more "normal" and well-spoken compared to Vivian or Eddie Hitler.
And of course, Lord Flashheart!
