Truly sorry to hear of Rik Mayall's passing. I was a young lad in my early 20s, going through a punk, then new wave phase when I first saw The Young Ones (probably 1983). That show seemed perfect to me. He was a true original. RIP Rik. Here is a story from Hugh Laurie about Mayall:
"A young girl, stricken with terminal cancer, once asked Rik Mayall for an autograph. He wrote: 'Young Ones are never afraid.'"
