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.

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. 🥹
