RIP Rik Mayall
Rip..
I always laugh at that fight. I know its wrong :(
This is my second favourite fight in a kitchen though. Can you guess what the first is @Major? ;)
It actually said on Sky News that his writing partner and him almost died with laughter writing the stuff! Here's the quote in fact:
In a statement, [Abe] Edmondson said "There were times when Rik and I were writing together when we almost died laughing. They were some of the most carefree stupid days I ever had, and I feel privileged to have shared them with him.
"And now he's died for real. Without me. Selfish b
."
There's no need to feel wrong for laughing at that fight, I suspect that was the point. Mayall & Edmonson probably laughed their arses of when they they were writing it.
As for the best Kitchen Fight, hhmm... can you give me a clue?
I remember a TV film he made with Helena Bonheim Carter where he played a man on a stag do who falls in love with a stripper (Carter). It was funny but it was so moving and Rik really showed his acting chops.
Gutted
Dancing Queen if my memory serves me well with a young HBC and a verry young Martin Clunes I probably have it recorded on VHS somewhere I will dig it out and give it a watch by way of a tribuite to Rik.
Missed opportunity?

I also remember him playing a bad guy alongside Roger Moore in Crossplot.
Captain Scarlett was undoubtedly my favourite Gerry Anderson show growing up.
Actually brought the DVD boxset a few years ago. Might watch them again as a tribute :(
RIP Paul Metcalfe :(
That's touching. Glad Rik was able to cheer your mother up, @yogi1.
RIP Casey Kasem. Voice acting legend.
Rest in peace.
Also, RIP Sam Kelly, whom has died aged 70...

My first thought was "Klop".
A talent who will be sadly missed! RIP.
