Rik’s appearance in Snakes and Ladders from 1989. Set in a Britain of 1999, where the north and south are bordered states, with riches on one side and poverty on the other. And written by Marks & Gran!

I’ve just seen the most amazing thing in the garden. Neil biffed himself in the face with a frying pan!

Just found this gem on BBC Sounds, not quite the story of Rik and not quite the story of Bigger Than Hitler, Better Than Christ, but contains plenty of Mayall genius

On 9 November, 1982, the alternative comedy sitcom The Young Ones debuted on the BBC.
I have argued that watching this show gives in a great historical insight into Britain during the early years of Margaret Thatcher’s Prime Ministership.

I always wanted Rik Mayall to read me a bedtime story, after he did “George’s Marvellous Medicine”. I still hear him saying, with great relish, “A puckered-up mouth like a dog’s bottom” every time I see a dog’s bottom. Which is quite a lot.
GRIM TALES (1989): Rik Mayall is magnificenly unhinged (of course!) as the storyteller in this glorious children's show, performing the Brothers Grimm's fairy tales like a live action Looney Tune. Written by Anne Caulfield and Anthony (Dramarama, Robin of Sherwood, Crime Traveller) Horowitz.

Watched a classic tonight that I've not seen for well over a decade. Wife had never seen it before and was amazed by the prosthetics and makeup. Still looks fantastic especially in 4K. She screamed a few times but the biggest was when she recognised Rik Mayall in The Slaughtered Lamb 😂

💀 Not that I'd probably be doing anything even IF I wasn't still recovering from the dreaded man flu and the weather would be a whole not nicer than the current rainy one... 🎃 But IF you happen to be one of those people who are inclined to partake in today's/tonight's folly... Happy Halloween! 👻
