He was gorgeous looking. Though he was able (and willing) to make himself look ridiculous or ugly when necessary. I had a major crush on him as a teenager.
Ade Edmondson's statement was lovely. They'd been best friends since they met at Uni in the late 70s.

"There were times when Rik and I were writing together when we almost died laughing. They were some of the most carefree, stupid days I ever had, and I feel privileged to have shared them with him. And now he's died for real. Without me. Selfish bastard."
