	Rik Mayall - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		When he was three, Mayall and his parents - both of whom taught drama - moved to Redditch, Worcestershire, where he spent the rest of his childhood and performed in his parents' plays.
		In 1986, Mayall achieved a #1 hit in the UK singles charts when he and his co-stars from The Young Ones teamed up with Cliff Richard to record a new (and somewhat offbeat) version of Living Doll for the inaugural Comic Relief campaign.
		Mayall has also played the role of Professor Adonis Cnut in the sitcom Believe Nothing and was Peeves the poltergeist in the first Harry Potter movie (Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone) but was cut out of the final edit.

		Rick: This next question is sort of in response to the review of your show in the local dailies, both of which emphasized the point that your stage presence was less than exciting.
		Rick: But your last two albums have been predominantly RandB and during the concert the songs you did do off Astral Weeks were changed so that they seemed to be like the more recent stuff.
		Rick: I listened to the albums for awhile, and then I started to realize there seemed to be some kind of story evolving from the earlier stuff.

		Vyvyan said in Bambi that "Rick" is spelt with a silent P at the beginning (as in PRick), and Rick is indeed portrayed as intensely unlikeable.
		Rick tries desperately to express his wit, talent and humour to no avail, as he lacks all three qualities.
		Mayall and Edmondson elaborated on some of the series' concepts later in their sitcoms Filthy, Rich and Catflap (written by Elton) and Bottom.

	Sequential Tart - The Report Card
		Rick (Rik Mayall) is a would-be revolutionary who protests the conservative British government while writing bad poetry.
		When Rick's story about having slept with a girl turns out to have been a lie, Vyvyan tortures Rick until he finally admits he's a virgin, and then makes him wear a sign declaring that fact.
		In fact, their chemistry was so great that Mayall and Edmonson (sometimes with Planer, but not always) went on to do many other projects together, with varying degrees of success.

		Rick, the political anarchist studying Sociology (or was it Domestic Science?) who was a poetic genius, adored Cliff Richard and rude words, was played by RIK MAYALL.
		She was the girlfriend of Rik Mayall at the time - until he left her when she was pregnant for his current wife (at least according to a feature on him in GQ Magazine).

	John Mayall
		Widely acknowledged as the father of British blues, Mayall remains its hardiest perennial, continuing to expand the boundaries and impact of the music he loves.
		Mayall, in fact, shuns such celebrity oriented fare, subscribing instead to the simple pleasures he derives from writing and performing new material, as well as extending the blues tradition.
		Mayall composed the solemn "Double Life Feelings" during a Bluesbreakers soundcheck just prior to a recent performance in Sweden.

		Rick was the self-styled "People's Poet", and constantly had delusions of grandeur about his left wing, anti-police, "for the kids" poems.
		Despite his bravado, Rick never "did it" with a girl, a fact that Vyvyen exploited at every opportunity, even to the point of demanding money from Rick and making him wear a cardboard sign round his neck with the word "virgin" crayoned onto it.
		Exploding sticks of dynamite tied to his head to cure a hangover and clubbing Neil and Rick around the head with a cricket bat were all in a days work for Vyvyen, though Mike was never the butt of any of his violent outbursts.

		Rick is the People's Poet, studying sociology and not quite as popular as he would like to believe, Vyvyan is a violent leftover from the punk era and is studying medicine, Neil is a vegetarian hippie, and Mike, the Cool Person, seems most intent on scoring with chicks.
		Mayall and Edmondson formed their comedy partnership (that still exists to this day) while still students at Manchester University where they met Elton, and the rest is history.
		Mayall's girlfriend at the time, Lise Mayer, completed the trio of writers that scripted all 12 episodes of The Young Ones.

		Rick (Rik Mayall) - the prat/new waver; a Sociology student, a Cliff Richard Fan and describes him-self as an Anarchist.
		This was typical of many sitcom writers, as it ended the show's popularity on a high, without a loss of good ideas, storylines or jokes, and allowed the cast and writers to move on to new projects before they became too typecast.
		Mayall and Edmondson elaborated on some of the series' concepts later in their sitcoms Filthy, Rich and Catflap (written by Elton) and Bottom (written by themselves).

	Review - DVD: The Young Ones: - Every Stoopid Episode (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Rick (Rik Mayall) is the spotty philosophy student who fancies himself as "The People's Poet." Next up is Vyvian (Ade Edmondson), the attention deficit punker who kicks out windows, chops off his own finger, and nails the front door to the ceiling.
		Rick hangs himself on a cross in the front of the house in protest of its imminent demise.
		The twelve episodes come with extensive political satire and references to the many issues that made up the era in which it was filmed.

		Manic Rick (Rick Mayall) is a pimply poseur who fancies himself the People's Poet.
		Neil prepares to commit suicide, Rick writes a protest poem and crucifies himself, and the staple food of students everywhere, pots of lentils, turn up in some unlikely places.
		Rick tries valiantly to score with some women, but makes the mistake of going through the contents of the handbag of one of them, in one of the crudest comic highlights of the series.

	Young Ones, The - Review - 'Vivien you B*****d!'
		He has a throbbing hatred of Rick and spends most of his time beating him senseless with various household objects and is often the source of many other violent out breaks in the house, such as arson and mass destruction.
		Rick (Rik Mayall) (I can’t remember his surname) is dead set against fascism and hates the pigs (police to any of you upper classes).

		This is a return to the county where he grew up and went to school for Rik Mayall, star of The Young Ones, Blackadder, The Comic Strip, The New Statesman and Bottom.
		Flamboyantly vain and devastatingly handsome, Essendine is about to set off on an extended tour of Africa, when he is visited by practically everyone he knows including his ex-wife/manager, lawyer, secretary, butler, business partners, an admiring young playwright and a recent one night stand.
		The stage is set for a battle of glittering egos, and Rik Mayall is sure to make the most of Cowards wit and cutting lines.

		Rick never lets an episode go without commenting on some aspect of current life in Thatcher's Britain, how he'd fix it, or, tear it down.
		Rick is a snotty little revolutionist that is quite fond of himself, but no one else is. And Mike completes the 4 housemates as a confident ladys man (in his own mind)who is the brains of the house hold.
		When Rick is having a conversation with the Christian in the hall in "Interesting", a member of the crew can clearly be seen walking at the top of the stairs behind her.

	Scotland on Sunday - The Review - Noel Coward, Rick Mayall and all that jazz (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Present Laughter is a witty portrait of the life that whirled around Coward himself in his heyday and was written as a vehicle for his own talent, with a lead role that was dangerously close to being autobiographical.
		Drawing on Coward’s strength, but not his style, Mayall will preen and pose his talents on stage surrounded by a bevy of beautifully-dressed ladies, including Caroline Harker, recently seen in A Touch of Frost.
		All in all it is a light-hearted comedy but that doesn’t mean it won’t offer Mayall an opportunity to claw back some of the success he has enjoyed in the past.

	The DVD Journal \| Quick Reviews: The Young Ones: Every Stoopid Episode
		The show was created and written by Mayall with Lise Mayer and Ben Elton; among his prodigious accomplishments, Elton went on to write the Blackadder TV series.
		The twelve episodes of The Young Ones are comedic anarchy — the "plot" of each show is merely a platform for seemingly random bits of violence, crude comedy, and occasionally surreal happenings.
		Mayall & Co. sold The Young Ones to the BBC as a variety show, which explains why every episode features music from bands like Madness, Motorhead, and The Damned standing around the lads' living room and doing a song for no apparent reason whatsoever.

		Rik Mayall, Adrian Edmondson, Nigel Planer and Christopher Ryan are the four housemates: Rick (Cliff Richard-worshipping radical sociology student), Vyvan (violence-loving punk medical student), Neil (put-upon suicidal hippie) and Mike (self-styled cool guy).
		Starring Rik Mayall, Adrian Edmondson, Nigal Planner, Christopher Ryan and occasionally Alexei Sayle as the four students and landlord in 1980's Britain which in my view they symbolise very well as typical teenagers of that time.
		It's weird, that Vyvyan is always on about how Rick is annoying, and how Rick snorts at Vyvyan, loving himself and he's "girl bait", and Neil has always got something to tell them, and Mike is just cool.
