@@sundaypeople5791 Wasn't a movie, more like a short film, and it was on that show that was on after "The Young Ones" sometimes. Every time, it was a different Rik Mayall/Adrian Edmonson thing. One time it was the Bad News documentary. another time a film was set in a roadside diner. Nigel Planer played a drunk scam artist who was travelling with some women, and Adrian Edmonson played an escaped convict character who said "Trouble" when someone asked him his sign, and Nigel started calling him that. In this B&W film Rik played the character I described, Nigel, in glasses, a suit & tie, and either a blonde or white wig or his hair dyed, played somebody's agent. When someone asked him what he did for So-and-so (don't remember the name), he said "As little as possible."

Drop Dead Fred was my favorite childhood movie. I just watched it with my 12 year old. He loved it too. I looked up who Drop Dead Fred was because I always loved him so much and found Rik. Sad to hear he passed two years ago. Sorry I never knew more of him until now. He certainly impacted my life. I wanted to have him DDF in my life when I was young. Traumatic childhood and all that. He was a treasure.

Absolute comedy genius. And also one of the best "straight" actors of his generation from the UK. When Rik and Ade got together on a stage, or even in an interview, you were guaranteed absolute comedy gold. One of the extremely rare instances that I actually had tears in my eyes when I heard of a celebrity dying. In fact it only ever happened to me once other than with Rik, and that was with Steve Irwin, the naturalist, who was just a bloody great bloke, a fantastic educational documentary host, and a whole lot of fun to watch. I imagine the next time I tear up at the death of a celebrity it will either be Ade Edmonson or Billy Connolly.
