The second act reuses a gag from The Young Ones episode " Bomb" when a large red atomic bomb appears on the stage which neither character acknowledge for quite some time into the performance. Eddie, the more popular of the two, enjoys drinking regularly, and often secretly steals family heirlooms and cash from Richie, although he occasionally has inventive moments, like building a cash forger, an electric toilet, and a time machine. Richie and Eddie are trapped at the top of the tallest Ferris wheel in Western Europe which is due to be blown up the very next day. Isn't the whole point of home video to enable us to watch our favourite films and television shows (and whatever other visual media you can think of) any time we wish?I'm sure there will be a dept at the BBC that vets the suitability of what it releases (and re-releases). Although watching this collection, I was pleasantly surprised to realise just how much of Bottom I had missed when originally broadcast. Each show also featured regular breaking of the fourth wall as Rik and Ade interacted with the audience and, on some occasions, reacted to hecklers. During the Hooligan's Island tour in 1997, Mayall and Edmondson sought ways of spending time before the night's performance and began to develop ideas for a script that involved Richie being a hotel manager. This collection is certainly getting on in age, while the transfer is as you would expect from early nineties, studio bound UK television.

I would guess that whatever's on these shelves is a carefully curated selection chosen to project the right image. The plot of the season three episode Dough involves the pair forging money which contains pornographic doodles of the Royals that are described in the show as ‘tantamount to treason’. Seasons 1 and 2 don’t look too great, studio bound and very much of videotape quality reminiscent of a whole lot of BBC comedy from the seventies and eighties. In March 2011, the duo made a surprise reunion when Edmondson took part in Let's Dance for Comic Relief.

The worst DVD debacle ever IMO was 'Bergerac' Series 1 of about three years ago when the entire set was made up of episodes heavily edited for afternoon repeats! But if you invest in the COMPLETE SERIES SET that contains all 4 seasons,these have corrected discs. They made a conscious effort to avoid any pop culture or contemporary references when writing, as The Young Ones had been popular with young people and instead wanted to portray characters who had left student life behind and reached their "thirties and forties". Mayall and Edmondson were aware of the failures of other sitcoms, and purposely wrote tight scripts.Hearst UK is the trading name of the National Magazine Company Ltd, 30 Panton Street, Leicester Square, London, SW1Y 4AJ. I believe A Royal Flush had something like 14 mins cut out of it in the recent Complete Only Fools and Horses DVD Collection. I distinctly remember a line where Albert says "That paki won't let us have nothing" which was cut out, i think it was even edited so he said something different.

Eddie's friends, the gormless Spudgun and Dave Hedgehog, both fear Richie, believing him to be psychotic. After the first series had been filmed, Mayall ranked Bottom as their best work and marked "a new chapter" in his relationship with Edmondson. While he hoped a rejection by the BBC would put Mayall's aspirations to rest, the idea was ultimately greenlit. The original scripts can be found in the published script books, and several completely removed scenes were included in the VHS release Fluff that consisted mostly of bloopers. Eddie and Richie are two pathetic, sex-crazed, slobby flatmates living in a filthy, damp flat at 11 Mafeking Parade in Hammersmith, London.It’s hardly known for its delicate, sensitive humour… but Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson’s bawdy 1990s comedy Bottom has fallen foul of the censors.
