Tributes have been paid to the comedian and actor Rik Mayall who died yesterday aged 56. He was known for his parts in Bottom, Black Adder and as Alan B'Stard in The New Statesman...but he made his name on the alternative comedy circuit in the 80s and rose to fame on television playing Rick, the iconic student in the Young Ones. Paul Jackson produced the show.
