Absolutely gutted!

There was so much more to come from Rik.

If anyone remembers Kevin Turvey he did a great comedy "Fly on the Wall" in the 80's (I think Ade Edmonson and Robbie Coltrane were in it).
I used to have it on good old VHS but not found it since. Genius stuff.

He will be greatly missed.

And who knew Rik was Peeves in Harry Potter (only he was cut from the film altogether and Peeves was never used in any of the films)?
A perfect Peeves! A director's cut perhaps?
