Questions 6 - 15: Read the information and then answer the questions. (Choose A, B, C or D)
Rik Mayall talks about his experiences as an actor
I've enjoyed all the parts I've played, especially people who aren't very nice, such as Alan, the
politician I played in the TV comedy series The New Statesman. Some people loved him, but there were
others who were against the programme because they thought it was wrong to make jokes about politics on
television. I haven't seen that series for years. I don't think they could repeat it because many of the jokes
were from that time. Comedy does date sometimes, though the basic idea behind the series - a self-important
person - can be true of any time.

 I do a lot of film work and still enjoy playing funny characters on TV, but I prefer theatre. I need a
live audience to keep me going. If I chose a favourite part, it would be Henri in A Family Affair, a play we
performed up and down the country several years ago. It's a comedy, directed by Andy de la Tour, a good
friend of mine. It's about a family who meet to celebrate a birthday, and all kinds of things happen - things
that could happen to anyone, anywhere. That's why it's so funny.
I really liked playing the part of Henri because in some ways his character is similar to mine. Henri's a bit of
a loner and behaves very badly at times. I was delighted when the authors of the play saw it and
congratulated me, saying I was exactly as they'd imagined Henri. Although the play is a comedy, it contains
serious messages, such as how thoughtless people can be. It's very true to life and that's why I like it.
