    I hope it wasn't the exploding carrots what did him in.

    Absolutely gutted. The Young Ones is my fave ever comedy.

    RIP.

    Shocker, it seems it was as a result of damage done in that really bad quad bike crash he had years ago.

    Really sad. RIP.

    Bloody hell, he must only have been in his mid fifties, no age. Loved all the stuff he did, most recently it was worth watching Man Down for his appearances alone. Loved him as Lord Flash heart. A sad loss for comedy.

    56 he was. No age. As OLM said it must have something to do with that crash he had a few years back.

    I don't think I disliked anything he did. Young Ones, Bottom, New Statesman, Blackadder, Comic Strip, all fantastic shows.

    Properly depressed now. I'm going to have to watch all of them again now.

    I remember when he had that Quad bike accident , though theres been no confirmation as to the cause ,
    it would seem odd an accident some 20 yrs on would be a contributor to his death .

    im gonna have to find a VCR so i can play my young Ones Boxset !!!

    Rik Mayall as Flasheart: "If word gets out that I'm missing, 500 girls would kill themselves. I wouldn't want them on my conscience."

    It does seem that the death is linked to the quad bike crash, the brain injury gave him epilepsy and it's been getting progressively worse.
