Rik has joked (but there is probably an element of truth to it) that he only accepted the part of Flashheart on the condition he got to be funnier than Atkinson and got all the best lines in Blackadder.Rick was a comic genius as to steal the show from Rowan Atkinson took some doing but he did it twice.
As for ade I remember the first interview/article he wrote about Rick after his death and why it had took him so long to make any comment. He spoke about how they had drifted apart as he was trying to go into more serious roles and Rick wanted to recreate the bottom young ones era.
I’ll have to listen to this as together they basically moulded my young viewing from the young ones black adder through to the comic strip etc
Btw I’d recommend the newly released 40 th anniversary edition of the young ones with tons of added footage.
RIP Rick.
