I couldn't find a 2014 one (granted I just looked for the word "death" on the first 3 pages of the forum so there may well be one)

Dimrill used to run it. I asked him on Twitter if he'd come back to run it and he said no.

If Dimmers came back he'd be great in the budget thread. But I can't blame him, I see his point of view. So someone else will need to do it.

As a strictly part timer I couldn't possibly. Needs someone with a 30,000+ post count.

On the Geldof death.

The couple had two sons: Astala, aged 23 months, and Phaedra, aged 11 months.

Who on earth names their kids names like that?

Considering their Aunt is Fifi Trixabelle, I think they got off pretty lightly.

He did retire from movies a few years ago and confirmed he had been diagnosed with parkinsons

That's a real shame, said that pneumonia killed him, I thought you got this if you let cold\flu get out of hand by not looking after yourself?

He was pretty well off, I remember reading once that his house in London was worth 10 million, so sure he could keep the heating on

It's a big shame. May have to watch The Long Good Friday again. RIP Bob

Sounds like Peaches Geldof died of a heroin overdose.

That's a bit sad.

What's more interesting is that no drug taking paraphernalia was discovered at the scene...

Someone with her at the time has made off with the evidence, perhaps?

I remember him doing a talk before the Beagle 2 launch at my school. He seemed nice.

Beagle 2 launched from your school? Cool.

Malc · **Posted:** Thu May 08, 2014 19:01

I followed the launch avidly, it seems so long ago and yet only yesterday! So disappointed when the probe failed, but it was amazing it got so far in the first place!

Incredible man.

Aww man. I loved him in Bottom. Classic late night viewing.

Such a shame.

Yeah, sad to see someone who has been in so many iconic things pass away before their time. I wonder if it was linked to the accident where he nearly died way back when?

As much as I loved The Young Ones and Bottom, he'll always be Lord Flashheart for me.

WOOF!

I remember almost being sick at one episode of Bottom, I was laughing that much!

I thought he was at his best as Alan B'stard, scarily convincing. He was also fun as Greg Davies's dad in Man Down last year. Big loss to comedy.

NervousPete · **Posted:** Mon Jun 09, 2014 22:53

Sorry to hear about Rik Mayall. And of all the stuff he's done, I think Bottom made me laugh the most. The Chess episode particularly.

"Which one am I again?"

"Those ones there! The ones on your side of the board! THE ONES NEXT TO YOU!"

Great memories watching that when I was a kid.

I rewatched Bottom last year on Netflix (I've had the DVDs for years but never got around to watching them because, y'know, putting discs in drives is way out of fashion), and whilst it's somewhat hit and miss at its funniest it really is uproariously and preposterously funny, proper tears of laughter stuff.

Nothing particularly revelatory in the obituaries this morning although several hints of an insecurity and darkness around his person, which is often the case with comedians of course.

I think it's pretty obvious the quad-bike crash took its toll on his long-term health, and more recently he'd been very upset when Edmondson walked away from the Bottom revival they'd been working on. (Edmondson is a reasonably regular guest on the Radcliffe & Maconie show on Radio 6, and on his last appearance they asked him about Mayall and the Bottom revival and it was clear there was some pain there and that they'd had a falling out over it.)

A sad loss but at least he leaves a body of very impressive comedy behind him.
