Very Sad News
The Young Ones was to TV comedy, hell, TV in general in the early 80's to what the Sex Pistols was to popular music.
Daft, completely surreal yet strangely true to life in many ways.
RM was a tour de force in everything he did, so much energy, so OTT at times, yet so slapstickingly funny.
Rest easy Rik.
