  That is very sad news. I was never a fan of him as a comedian, but will always remember his reading of 'George's Marvelous Medicine' on Jackanory in 1986.

  Don't know yet.
  
  He was my comedy hero when I was a lad. Kevin Turvey and Rik from the Young Ones were the funniest ever.

  I've literally just this second seen it on breaking news on my news app. It doesn't give any details other than he's died.
  
  This is really sad. I love Rik Mayall. Such an out the blue shock.
