    Yes, he had quite significant brain damage and ended up with epilepsy. Could be related.

    RIP Rik

    I read he suffered from some significant personality changes from the head injuries too.

    However this was 16 years ago, so it would seem unlikely it is directly related to whatever caused his death.

    His quad bike accident left him with epilepsy I just read, a seizure perhaps.

    Possibly who knows, sure it will become apparent in the coming hours and days, just hope if that right word that it is a death due to natural causes and not something horrible like suicide.

    Wow, this is quite a shock. Definitely one of my comedy heroes and a guy that was right there at the heart of the early 80's comedy revolution.

    R.I.P Rik :(:cry:

    Oh, Felicity, Felicity

    You fill me with electricity
    But that does not mean you are shocking
    Oh, no, you are nice
    Like Sugar and Spice
    Like a proper girly ought to be
    (Even though I am sure you have radical views
    On the subject of equal opportunities)
    Your Second name is Kendall
    Which if you jumble up all the letters
    And take some away
    And Add some others
    Makes "I love you"
    I adored you as the star of TV's "The Good Life"
    And I'm not being sexist but I think you'd make a 'good wife'
    How about it, Filly?


    RIP Rik.

    Pollution
    All around
    Sometimes up
    And sometimes down
    But always around.
    Pollution, are you coming to my town?
    Or am I coming to yours?
    We're on different buses, pollution
    But we're both using petrol.

    R.I.P Rik :cry:

    i think this is the first time in all my 45 years that the death of a "celebrity" has ever made me actually want to cry.

    RIP Rik

    A jaw dropper for me!
    Thankyou for bottom, the most anarchic non sensicle funloving pointless piece of genius claptrap of wonderful escapism i think ive ever watched.

    A TRULY sad day in comedy.

    Now let have a laugh....
