That's such sad news, he was a comedy genius, anarchic slapstick in bottom and the young ones...he will be sadly missed
This about sums up his humour after his accident....
Mayall once joked: "I beat Jesus Christ," he said. "He was dead for three days at Easter.
"When I crashed it was the day before Good Friday, Crap Thursday, and I was technically dead until Easter Monday – that's five days.
"Jesus was nailed up on Friday and came to on Easter Day. I beat him 5-3."
Genius that will be missed by a great many
RIP...Rik
