Ade Edmondson, talking about Rik Mayall on Desert Island Discs

God, that’s tough to listen to.

It really is heartbreaking

That just broke my heart, again.

Heard this the day after the broadcast and genuinely choked me

That's a hard listen. Beautiful, but hard. It's been so long since we lost Rik & longer still since we got new material from him & Ade, but it still stabs so deeply to know they'll never work together again. To think of it makes me see how much poorer the world is since 2014 💔

Sad, yes, but if all your memories of some one is of laughter and joy. Well that has to be a good thing. Ade has memories of Rik no one else has and they're all laughing. I think that is wonderful.

That's a very tough but beautiful listen. God Bless Rik.

A Heartbreaking listen

Just the other day, started through this 8 disc set. Going beginning to end. Plenty of Ric and Ade magic moments and more besides.

@HarryEnfield6 Probably the first time he’s really opened up about him, he kept to himself & even joked about it, this was his way of dealing with it. 🥹
