From January 1998, three months before his quad bike accident, the brilliant Rik Mayall appears on 5's Exclusive show, talking about his new film 'Bring me the head of Mavis Davis'.
three months before his quad bike accident. And in 16 years, gone. He died whilst I was in a coma from my biking accident OK so he had a quad bike accident and whilst in his induced coma my son was born when I was in my induced coma, he died.
Quad bikes, insane things, Ozzy Osbourne did a number and I know other people who have come badly a cropper. All for nought, cos they were just mucking around.
@@MsMesem crashed one when about 13 ...wrote off 2 quad bikes front suspension on mine and the one I crashed into with my friend on that one the back end was knackered...both me and my friend flew off I done a round the world type thing still holding onto the handles the bike flew over me then landed next to me...I stood up brushed myself off and all I could see was stunned faces asking if I was OK...I was fine my friend was fine not even a scratch a small bit bruising on my side...was absolutely impossible situation guardian angel type thing I'm not religious but it was bonkers..the staff kept coming over asking if I was OK I was more worried that they were worried prob though all gonna get sacked lol..cherrs
@@jshaw4757I was doing a long sideways slide on a mid-size 125cc one and a wheel "hit" a hole and flipped it. I hit the ground and remember looking up and seeing it flying and spinning towards me. Somehow I shot out of the way to my friends amazement. That could've been a trip to the ER for sure.
@@Jafmanz she was good eye candy, that's about it. Apart from that just another Northern Slapper you'd see at any night club. I was there, in Manchester and lived in Lancashire, I should know.
Why are "hosts" always so lame? Stupid questions even a 12 year old wouldn't ask, interrupting, acting like they're cute...Rik could vivisect her easily, but he doesn't. He was genius. Miss you, Dr. Mayall.
My recollection is that it was a new Channel 5 show when that started, and it was on at 6 or 7pm during the week (probably repeated at the weekend), and it was usually Julia Bradbury presenting, not Sara Cox.
@@elijaprice I just had a look on IMDB and it has Julia Bradbury as host in 1997, Sara Cox as host 1998 and 1999, which i when I probably watched it, and later hosts being Tess Daly and Lisa Rogers
Huh. I'm surprised Rik had already done Bottom by 1998, I swear that was an early 2000's thing. Bottom still feels like a kind of "new" show after Young One's and Statesman. Damn, showing my age much 😁
Aww his wee smile at the end... is he cringing slightly or worried he offended anyone 🤔 He gets on with females much better I feel... Sara went from pandering to mother rather well... Great quickie! Interview Blondie... 🤗
