When I tried to remember though, I'd have placed the year about 2002, but apparently he had a quad bike accident that left him injured in 1998? Is this right? I'm sure it wouldn't have been any earlier than 2000 at least when I went to see him.
Typical of his humour;
Mayall was left seriously ill after a quad bike accident at his farm in Devon in 1998 which left him in a coma for several days, but was working until recently.
Last year the father-of-three joked about the incident in a typically outspoken manner with The Daily Mirror: “I beat Jesus Christ. He was dead for three days at Easter.
"When I crashed it was the day before Good Friday, Crap Thursday, and I was technically dead until Easter Monday - that’s five days.
“Jesus was nailed up on Friday and came to on Easter day. I beat him 5-3.”

Very sad news indeed, he will be missed.
