      Rik would have appreciated that sentiment.

        'Mr Jolly Lives Next Door'

        Comic Strip episode featuring the standard Rick and Eddie characters in embryonic form running an escort agency, Peter Cook as a contract killer and Nicholas Parsons as himself and a plot involving winning a night out with NP, and the confusion caused when a contract on the celeb's life goes astray..... 'Take Out Nicholas Parsons'.

        The prizewinning slogan: 'Never, ever, ever bloody anything ever'.

        An unjustly neglected gem.

        RIP Rik :-(
        My subconscious is annoying. It's got a mind of its own.

          I liked some of his stuff, others not so much, but he was undeniably damn funny. What a shame
          WHS - his stuff was right on the borderline for me especially in Bottom, because he was so convincing as that slimey awful character!

          A shame.

            Yes, it was like MF before he put on all the weight and discovered cocaine.

              What a shame. Makes me feel old now.

                RIP an absolute legend. 80's comedy was always better before they invented political correctness:

                The New Statesman - Best Scene - YouTube
                'Orwell's 1984 was supposed to be a warning, not an instruction manual'. -
                Nick Pickles, director of Big Brother Watch.

                  Nothing like a healthy dose of reality

                  A very funny man. RIP

                    A Fistful of Traveller's Cheques

                    One of the funniest (IMO) Comic Strip episodes ever.
