What a shock. RIP Rick. Loved him in the various Comic Strip episodes and as Mr. B'stard in the New Statesman. Very sad.

Yes it was in A Kick Up the Eighties. Photo here: http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-27770533 I did need the BEEB to remind me of Kevin Turvey.

I also loved The Comic Strip and he appeared in several of them 'Bad News Tour' comes to mind.
