@CHRISIDDON17 the young ones is about a bunch of college rejects, this is about wealthy businessmen, and bottom is about the two guys from filthy rich and catflap hitting rock bottom and living in the slums
@donroberto85 well my bad! lol, i was going off of what i figured out from the shows and i didnt know there was a difference of going to college and being in college. and the reason i put the other two together is because of eddie and richie, i didnt think of their different last names until after i saw your comment
Youll see just how talented Richie is when he gets a job doing standup in a strip club and i defy anyone to not laugh out loud when he goes for a perv in "the nolan sisters dressing room" HAHA.Mayall is at his very best and at the end of the last episode as the credits rolled we were told that "it would be back in the autunm with a 2nd series but it was never heard of again??.I KNOW WHY, Ben Elton knew there was no point he could deliver this quality ever again and focused on his novels.ENJOY
Years after the young ones.without a shadow of a doubt this is Ben Eltons finest moment and he admits it himself.ANYONE who prefer Bottom & happens to be a big fan of Alan Partridge (which I am) isn't looking at this correctly.Richie Rich is in the same mentally Ill deluded talentless tragic egomaniac
@martymore1 (cont)........ "I AM A SHOWBIZ GOD AND WILL INSULT EVERYONE WHO CROSSES MY PATH " as the great Partridge but our hero Richie is 1000 times more exagerated and this is where the jewel of this work lies hidden.Partridge was down on his luck after the second series of his chatshow was never commisioned but he did have a run as a houshold name.THIS ARSEHOLE RICHIE only ever read "1 continuity link on TVS in 1972 and since then truly believed "HE WAS GOD" fucking hillarious.
@madjack18 Yeah I know. Suposedley there was a recession?? I dont remember it. In 1991 all you had to do to get a job was walk in the job centre and get one. There was loads of work around. There was in the buildin trade anyway. In 1991 When ever I got pissed off with a job I just jacked it in and started another the same week. Unlike today. No chance of that!!
I wonder if the Richie and Eddie in this are the same as the characters in Bottom. If not, then they don't really have much originality with their names. Don't get me wrong, they're both fantastic comedians. But they could've expanded on the names a little :3
@drponyslayer well this ran for one series but they went on to develop bottom instead later on because this didnt quite make it or get popular, bottom suited them much better and had funnier episodes and characters.
"All I asked for was a quick once over, and what I get is an erotic cabaret".
lol
if anyone thinks their interaction is blatantly "gay".... you need to hang around more gay dudes. cos they wouldn't be caught dead wearing/acting this way ;p
i'm wondering if anyone can help me out-there was another show way back when that i could swear had rik mayall in it or involved in it that came out after the young ones finished. it dealt with a bunch of people living in an abandoned(?) shopping mall but i can't find any references to it and i remember it being funny as hell too. anyone know what it was?
this is great stuff, Nigel Planer is so good in this as Filthy. I think it's this episode where Adrian Edmonson does a long extended pratfall allaround the living room ending up sprawled across Filthy on the sofa. :D
this makes me so happy ya know!I loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove it!
ive seen the bottom series and the youngs ones and guest house paradiso,ive never seen this though,im off to amazon,i cant beleive ive never seen this.these two are one of the most awesome duo ever,cant wait to buy it,thanks uploader.
this type of humour some people think is homosexual it isnt and humour like this is what has them got so far in life they are hilarious thank god my parents got me watching young ones-bottom never be same without it :P
this was the prelude to bottom. :) brilliant. i have the series on dvd and noticed some of the jokes used in this series get re worked in bottom. awesome
I only started watching this when they started showing it late night on Dave (At least I think it was Dave). I was already well versed on the likes of The Young Ones and Bottom and although this would come third out of the three related sitcoms, It cirtainly isn't shit, in fact it's very funny, it's just Bottom and TYO's are funnier
I think Eddie Catflap would go on to change his last name to Hitler--for kicks, and Richie Rich, not being very creative, chaged his to Richard Richard. they dispse of Filthy, take his money and retire in Hammersmith. would anyone care to fill in the gaps?
An absolute TV gem. Completely unhinged but brilliant comedy...but why was this never repeated? To my knowledge it only had one original run on BBC2 1986/87
I think they are comfortable enough with their masculinity to not be afraid of the gay stuff, which makes them even SEXIER to us chicks. So all you homophobes out there can suck it.
@madaxecho So true. The american regime was so paranoid that they banned Bert and Ernie from sleeping in the same bed. Real men aren't afraid of "catching gayness".
Without droning on and on about subtext and 'are they or aren't they'........we are fans because it's FUNNY stuff. One of the best things about these guys is that you can watch it twenty times and pick up bits that might have been missed previously.
@w0bbl3r the subtext exists whether they intended it or not - nothing that humans do is one dimensional because we're very complicated animals. and as soon as a piece of work enters the public domain, it stop 'belonging' to the creator - when you watch an episode, it becomes 'yours' in very important ways. anyway - everyone should have their own opinions and not be judged for it. so stop being a silly bully.
@Shanniquitie Look, if they didnt write such insinuation, then its not there, is it?
I took a shit this morning, and wouldnt even begin to consider it art. But i suppose then if you got a look at it, you could say all kinds of arty farty stupid bullshit about it, couldnt you? Even hang it on your wall as a statement of modern society in a post 9/11 world?
Youre seeing things that arent there, just face it,
And seeing as my comment is so highly rated supports my claim.
the author/artist is dead - audience create meaning. i'm sorry if breakthroughs in critical theory (since the 80s LOL) havent found their way to whatever backwater you call home.
and you got high ratings cos (SURPRISE) youtube is infested with morons. so yeah. unless you're running for office in a democratic country, what the populus thinks is neither here nor there.
@Shanniquitie So if an artist draws/sculpts/creates something that they MEAN to mean one thing, it doesnt REALLY mean that, because you dont want it to?
How ignorant are you?
What makes something artistic, and what makes someone an artist, is that they depict something in THEIR way, to mean what THEY want it to.
If youre right, I can say the mona lisa is actually a statue, not a painting, and is of a monkey balancing an elephant on its head, while masturbating. Well, thats the SUBTEXT anyway.
@Shanniquitie Are you being serrious, or having a laugh, your comments just really remind me of Rik in The Young Ones, I wasn't sure if you really were a prick or if this was a tribute LOL
I just happen to find some of the gay innuendo particularly amusing. No harm intended, YOU'RE the one who is taking a light-hearted comment too seriously. :S
As I am Rik and Ade fan you can imagine that I am NOT easily offended. I can take a joke knowing that is is a joke, but some things go beyond jokes, and that's why I object to anything yaoi/slash
I actually view slash as pretty harmless, not like it's hurting anyone. Also, slash in itself is often inherently a joke. Some of the best comedy plays up to "are they or aren't they?" innuendo (Red Dwarf, The Mighty Boosh etc).
I'm not being academic and saying there's a serious homoerotic subtext. I'm just pointing out that there's a rather blatant ongoing gay joke, which is especially evident in the later Bottom live shows.
the characters are blatantly straight, and so is the material. anyone who adds more is finding things that arent there. or that arent there INTENTIONALLY.
back when this was written, and when red dwarf was written, there was never such a thing as gay "subtext" in mainstream, or alternative, comedy.
and there mostly isnt now. people just find what isnt really there.
its like saying "oh, this painting of a woodland scene is SOOOO sad, even though it is obviously a happy painting"
Yes, I know the characters & the material are straight. But there still are GAY JOKES and they're not hard to spot. Anyone who says otherwise hasn't seen much Rik & Ade. And that's all it is - a joke. I never said there was an underlying romantic plot.
gay jokes is not the same as gay subtext. a gay joke in this, or bottom, or anything like that, is blatant. subtext is something that is more subtle, and something that i dont personally look for. i just want to laugh when i watch these, not wonder if they meant something else when they wrote it. thats why, back in the day, gay jokes were either there or not, there was no gay subtext. watch are you being served; gay jokes are BLATANT, that is not the same as hiding it in subtext.
Is it just me who thinks this is some of thier best work? I have seen all episodes so many times and they never get old. Glad to see that there is people still loving it, everyone I know has no idea what Filthy Rich is.
This series is OK, I have it on DVD, I pretty much love anything with Rik & Ade, they are bloody brilliant, but I have to say out of everything i've seen of their's so far this is my least favourite. Its good but not great like Bottom & The Young Ones, still good to have it though & see how the guys have progressed over the yrs. Riks hair in this is just...oh dear, lol. He's a brave boy getting his wig chopped like that, bless, long live rik and ade!
I Love this.There should have been a second series at the time.When I bought the dvd the opening sequence shown here-the "Morning has broken" song was cut as was other bits so thanks for this.
This show isn't available on region 2 DVD (North America), and there is maybe one copy available on VHS Pal transfer in San Francisco. And I don't want to drive across town and rent it again. Please?..Go ahead, pop one out.
There is no real continuity between this programme and The Young Ones or Bottom. They play slightly different characters with slightly different names. This was basically a stepping stone between the two shows, funny though!
I think this group of comedians and writers were only really good doing the acutely observed, character driven satyre on the pretensions of media/politics/society, like *some* of Comic Strip, Whoops Apocalypse, Eat The Rich etc.
The slap-stick and smut side has dated less well IMHO. Eg: Mayall's FR&C Blankety-Blank sketch works because it ridicules the very television smut that he himself seems to perpetuate elsewhere. Only French/Saunders seemed to make a proper go of straighter comedy.
Arthur Smith as the milkman, ha ha ha. Great stuff.

in fact, in bottom, filthy rich, young ones, and all rik and ade shows or jokes, there is no subtext at all, gay or otherwise.
that doesnt mean they dont put gay jokes in, but its not hidden in subtext, its right out there.
they specialise in blatant comedy, not trying to put hidden subtext, and arty-farty bulshit in there.
im sure they would piss themselves laughing that people were finding these things in their shows.

Yes, I know the characters & the material are straight. But there still are GAY JOKES and they're not hard to spot. Anyone who says otherwise hasn't seen much Rik & Ade. And that's all it is - a joke. I never said there was an underlying romantic plot.

"back when this was written, and when red dwarf was written, there was never such a thing as gay "subtext" in mainstream, or alternative, comedy.
and there mostly isnt now."
Haha, that's a pretty bold thing to say. I wonder how you acquired this info?

gay jokes is not the same as gay subtext. a gay joke in this, or bottom, or anything like that, is blatant. subtext is something that is more subtle, and something that i dont personally look for. i just want to laugh when i watch these, not wonder if they meant something else when they wrote it. thats why, back in the day, gay jokes were either there or not, there was no gay subtext. watch are you being served; gay jokes are BLATANT, that is not the same as hiding it in subtext.

This series is OK, I have it on DVD, I pretty much love anything with Rik & Ade, they are bloody brilliant, but I have to say out of everything i've seen of their's so far this is my least favourite. Its good but not great like Bottom & The Young Ones, still good to have it though & see how the guys have progressed over the yrs. Riks hair in this is just...oh dear, lol. He's a brave boy getting his wig chopped like that, bless, long live rik and ade!

There is no real continuity between this programme and The Young Ones or Bottom. They play slightly different characters with slightly different names. This was basically a stepping stone between the two shows, funny though!

LMFAO, Remember seein this Years ago!!!
The Characters were pre Bottom / Post Young ones.
Still think some of their best work was early days comic strip or The Dangerous Brothers..
Thanks for postin

I think this group of comedians and writers were only really good doing the acutely observed, character driven satyre on the pretensions of media/politics/society, like *some* of Comic Strip, Whoops Apocalypse, Eat The Rich etc.
The slap-stick and smut side has dated less well IMHO. Eg: Mayall's FR&C Blankety-Blank sketch works because it ridicules the very television smut that he himself seems to perpetuate elsewhere. Only French/Saunders seemed to make a proper go of straighter comedy.
