In September 2009, Mayall played a supporting role in the television programme Midsomer Murders- shown on ITV1 and made by Meridian Broadcasting - as David Roper, a recovering party animal and tenuous friend of the families in and around Chettham Park House. He attended King's School, Worcester, to which he won a free scholarship. He failed most of his O-levels and scraped through A-levels. [5] In 1975, Mayall went to the University of Manchester to study drama. He claimed that he failed to get a degree, or that he did not even turn up to his finals, [6] but in reality he graduated with lower second-class honours in 1978. [7] It was there that he met his future comedy partner Ade Edmondson; [8] Ben Elton, a fellow student; and Lise Mayer, with whom he later co-wrote The Young Ones.
