Absolutely gutted - Anybody growing up as a child in the 80's will surely recall the impact that the bloke had on British culture.
An absolute force of nature, I think if anybody wants the definitive example of his talents, they just need to watch his reading of 'George's Marvellous Medicine' on Jackanory - It is pure comedy genius which, whether you are 7 or 77, will make you cry with laughter.
And so you aim towards the sky, And you'll rise high today, Fly away, Far away, Far from pain....

The impact of Mayall and co on British popular culture was immense. The Young Ones took sitcoms from terry and June style middle class, middle aged unfunny cr*p and made it cutting edge.
