Gutted, 1 of my favourite actors. I adored him in Blackadder and Young Ones.x

Bottom was one of my favourite TV shows. Even had the Live shows on VHS.

Sad times!

As stated elsewhere the good always die young whereas the talentless linger on like a bad fart in an elevator. RIP RM, you foxy stoaty pig.

I still use some of his "bottom" type expresions to this day if I'm (rarely I must add) getting p****d.
Very sad indeed.

There's a move to get Rick's 'lost' World Cup song to No 1 - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-27795073 .

The Johnny Cyclops campaign song is unlikely to get played on the BBC....
