The Young Ones is one of those things that's right up there in my first memories of things I watched on TV (possibly some parenting issues there
as I was very young - but in fairness the language wasn't bad and there's a lot more jokes I 'get' now watching re-runs!). I
particularly liked the one where they went on University Challenge.
Does anyone remember The Dangerous Brothers? A bit of a precursor to Bottom in many ways - the comedy and slapstick is very similar.
But Lord Flashheart really was one of the best characters he did in my book - "treat your plane like you treat your woman, get inside her 3
times a days and take her to heaven and back - woof!"
Bottom was very clever a whole 5 minutes on 'the mag's faj' makes me smile just thinking about it. he was one of the people on my
theoretical 'best night down the pub'.
Gutted as been a fan since 'young ones' bottom live DVD is a must to remember the timing genius.
RIP Myall and thanks for the laughs to the point of tears, you will never know how your comedy affected a young lad from a quiet Yorkshire village!
A lasting favourite the age when get the 'Mousey Mousey Mousey Ooooo I am going to be sick '

He was on good form as Greg Davies dad in man down last year , forgotten how much of his stuff I still have on VHS from the dangerous brothers , Kevin
Turvey , young ones , filthy rich and catflap , bottom , new statesmen and the comic strip . Just watching guest house paradiso on YouTube
Me and the wife were just saying the same thing, and she doesn't even like much comedy.
I sort of picked up his roles in reverse, things like Blackadder goes 4th and the jackanory of georges marvellous medicine, then bottom, blackadder
II, and finally the young ones. Theres of course more! But there the ones that really stick in my memories.
One liners like .'but I havent got a beard' and 'thats bloody good eddie' were on repeat with my mates in our lessons at
school

Really does feel like someone I knew has died.

Talking of one liners. A couple that pop into my head on a daily occurrence and I use if I can.
"Ha ha, you missed both of my legs!"
"Steep Eddie? thats f'ing vertical"
(answering the phone) "4444444"
(Dialling a number) "thats a bit of luck, I dont know what the f*ck I dialed!"
(What shall we do now?) "HAVE A W&NK!"

Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!
A friend of mine was once on a train to London from Manchester and as it was for work he was in first class, it was very quiet and there was only one
other person in the carriage, as time went on and the journey dragged on the other guy knodded to my mate and came over to say he was going to buy a
beer and would my friend like one, my mate said yes and that it was very kind and the guy disappeared off down the carriage, when he came back with
the beer they sat for a very enjoyable couple of hours just chatting and laughing and watching the countryside go by ......... That lovely friendly
guy was Rik Mayall and needless to say my mate is gutted.
Not seen the news today
