Rik Mayall supports the BDFA in classic style! - Louise Scotter

Purely by chance I bumped into Rik Mayall after seeing a hit west end show in London on 19th September 2007.  We chatted for a while and to demonstrate his support for the BDFA Rik kindly agreed to me taking his photograph.  But you have to understand this wasn’t just any photo opportunity, as he promptly proceeded to drop his trousers in true Rik style!  And I’m sure you’ll agree the result is a fantastic photograph showing just a bit more than support for the BDFA!!!

 
The west end show I saw with Carolyn was Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, starring Lee Mead.  Joseph is an incredible show and we both thought Lee was born to play the lead role, as he was totally awesome.  He also wears his loincloth particularly well too!!!  Afterwards Lee very graciously signed the souvenir programme I had purchased and I’ve gifted this to the BDFA – it’s now available as part of an auction prize for the Aviators Ball on 24th November 2007.  The Adelphi theatre has some of the best accessible facilities I’ve seen to date in London and I was really impressed too with the level of courtesy & helpfulness of all the staff.  I highly recommend seeing Joseph (and Lee too!!!) as I really don’t think anyone could leave the theatre feeling disappointed in any way.
