Remembering Rik Mayall as Redditch's Kevin Turvey
One of Rik Mayall's earlier comic creations was based on his experiences growing up in the West Midlands.
His character Kevin Turvey - a self-styled 'Investigative Journalist', spoke with a broad West Midlands accent, still lived with his mother, wore a blue anorak, and rarely left his home town of Redditch.
'Kevin' featured on the weekly 1981 BBC sketch show A Kick Up the Eighties, and each investigation amounted little more to an exciting rant to camera.
Rik Mayall grew up in Droitwich Spa in Worcestershire. He died suddenly yesterday aged 56.
The clip above show's Turvey's take on The Media.
