Here, Rik shares a page with Rowan. You can read more about his American tour of Shakespeare in Proctology: A Bottom Examination.

This is a nice little preview of the Who Shot Alan B’Stard? special.

Either you don’t see the bottom of that publicity shot very often, or I’ve only just noticed it – but Alan’s getting rather phallic there isn’t it?

In this one we learn a little bit about Rik’s thinking with the Bottom pilot, and also a little mention that Drop Dead Fred might be getting a sequel.

I love this one, which marks the end of the fourth series of The New Statesman – mostly because of the misidentification of Rik Mayall Presents. They seem to have somehow learned the title of Micky Love, and misheard it at the same time.

And finally, a lovely piece in the Mirror, with a great quote about how terrifying Rik found the gallows scene.
