What made Rik so compelling was his total lack of ego. He was so brilliant, so unique but yet had absolutely no ego about it. Absolutely zero self awareness, which ultimately is what made him such an incredible performer. It's such a rarity to find people so utterly talented who are in the public eye who have a lack of ego as Rik did. Very much missed.
In all the interviews I’ve seen, I’ve NOT seen THIS version of Rik. It’s like there was Rik: The Personality and then there’s THIS guy. This is amazing to see
There are times when I like his interviews more than his work. They are about 20 to 30 on the whole.Each one is a treasure on its own. Ever lustened to the audio ones ? Some hilarious ones together with Ade! And they never get old, that's the best about them!❤❤❤
11:32 Rik expression of excitement in classical music was so funny. He was so serious, and yet can still be so child like. I miss him so much. Just listening to his thoughts has been comforting.
Thanks for this. I find this interview completely mesmerizing (and I think the interviewer does too - see the looks on his face throughout) Rik was so expressive - in the words he chose, in his voice, his face and gestures.. Its extremely interesting to hear him discussing his work, and comedy in general so seriously - that's rare! I miss him..
Very annoyed that I have only just seen this!! Thank you for posting. Wonderful. One of his best interviews. Largely because the interviewer was very good and just let Rik Speak.
I would have loved to have seen Rik done an audience with pierce Morgan, there would have been so much to talk about his career. Sadly we'll never see that :( We miss you Rik, RIP
winstoneism I know what you mean, it made me cry too badly. I was grieving for months. I prayed to god that he has mercy on his soul. He seems like a big impact on a lot of people. I missed the beautiful guy
In Rik's autobiography, he reveals in depth his near-death experience (clinically dead for five days), which is the whole point of the book, he stated. If his brain provided the same opiates the second time around, then it's a comfort to know that he died feeling peaceful, calm, warm, safe, etc.
"Where's the middle aged hero?" Oh, Rik. You didn't realize. It was you all along.
Every time now & then I come along this interview it's your sentence I love most in the comments!❤❤❤
Stop, i'm trying not to cry!

Think he had both a no- ego and a super- ego in some respect. Much too handsome to not enjoy it to the full for example. Other areas as well.❤
This (along with part one) is by far the most compelling, reflective Rik Mayall interview I have ever seen. Excellent.
Absolutely, his message is loud and clear hidden in plain sight. He is a true patriot and he tried to warn us.
the "*gasp* fuck!!" when he sees the CD is the cutest thing in the entire universe oh my god
Loved watching Rick being himself & expressing what gave him joy, sadly missed
I am 50 years old and grew up watching Rik and Ade. Rest in peace Rik. Total legend.

Nice interview...he was being himself here
Great interview. He was so articulate with his words here. So charming and expressive
Thank you so much for uploading these.
Captain Flashheart to me is his best role. No matter how many times I hear him say "Lets doooo it" I still laugh.
Woof!

6:12 Ploppy pants… I love it…. It’s the perfect alternative.
You can see why they pushed what an intelligent man. His message is loud and clear. I’m sorry I missed it.
he can pull of American accent really well
winstoneism hey, don't say that >:(

can't imagine what this freedom fighter would be saying in these tyrannical times. What a guy!! xxxxxxx
My thoughts too. He certainly wouldn’t be wearing the muzzle.
Tyrannical indeed !!!!
