Comedian Adrian Edmondson had an unusual May bank holiday, which included being rescued by the fire brigade after he became trapped on a window ledge.
On Twitter, Edmondson – who is known for starring in The Young Ones and Bottom – described having to be rescued by fire services at the weekend after getting stuck while washing his windows.
He posted: “Just trapped myself on a window ledge whilst cleaning the windows. Had to ask passerby to fetch help. Fire Brigade came.
“Small crowd gathered – thoroughly enjoying themselves. FB very kind and didn’t snigger too much as they rescued me. How’s your Bank Holiday?”
Many of Edmondson’s followers joked that the conundrum sounded like a scene featuring one of his comedy characters. Others noted how the story would have amused his late comedy partner and co-star Rik Mayall.
“How did Jennifer react?” came one reply, referring to Edmondson’s wife, the actor Jennifer Saunders, leading another to joke: “It was her that closed the window!”
