Cliff only had hair like that because he was appearing in the musical 'Time' at the time. Even he wouldn't have had such a stupid-looking mullet otherwise!!
wow - haven't seen that since it was broadcast, shortly before the song I seem to recall Viv saying he was having his way with Kate Bush using Neil as a contraceptive..
Great to see Raw Sex as the backing band! with Roland Rivron on snare.. classic
OMG! i love this video...espicially mike...hes the only one with sense, yet one of the most entertaining, i love vyvyans "im gonna lock her up in a trunk" lol...the young ones are just amazing all round :D
Just to join in the conversation about Mike, I actually like Mike's character too. The Young Ones needed a fairly normal person in the mix, so although he's odd, he's necessary. Every episode I watch seems to make me like him more. But of course he's not my favourite - Rik will always be my Young One! =) xx
He just cant believe he agreed to this , he is soooo cute and absolutely yummy I could eat him all up ... men all over should have his attitude towards women and the world would be a happier place ME THINKS ????? thanks for this posting and may God continue to bless Cliff Yeah yeah
For all the amazingly histerical things about this video, I absolutely love Mike's non-preformance. There's something inherently funny about him just standing there amist the chaos onstage. He was my favorite character and horribly underrated.
A close second is Vyv screaming "I'VE GOT TO LOCK HER UP IN A TRUNK!"
I've heard people say "Aw, c'mon, Mike wasn't THAT bad" before, but you are the first person I've ever heard say that Mike was their favorite character from The Young Ones.
Sounds a bit like saying Zeppo is the best one of the Marx Brothers.
@komedycuts Except that Mike, unlike Zeppo, actually had a personality outside of just being the straight man. His greed, chauvinism, and smugness combined with him being not just down to Earth but also fairly comfortable with the weirdness around him--his initial reaction to an atomic bomb in the kitchen is to sell it, for heaven's sake--make him much more subtle and therefore a bit funnier than the random zaniness of his roommates.
@WackdProductions I think the way the character of Mike was written might have worked if he hadn't been so miscast...Peter Richardson or even Ben Elton might have been able to pull it off.
Nothing against Chris Ryan, who I thought was funny in Bottom, but always seemed completely out of place to me in The Young Ones.
@komedycuts I have to disagree with you. I think he fit great with the rest of the cast. I remember hearing, however, that Mayall and Edmondson had been Rick and Vyv before the show, in stand-up, and Neil and Mike had also been stage-characters first but for whatever reason Mike was recast for TYO. I would like to see who played Mike on-stage.
@komedycuts Mike's a great character, brilliantly played. In a comedy like the young ones u need an understated performance in there to make Rick and the others look even more mad and, thereby, great characters to watch. If everybody was crazy all the time in the show, nothing would seem that out of place, insane or funny. He's the 'cool', so layed back watching the others shout and rush about is even more funny.
@WackdProductions When I first watched TYO Mike was my least favourite. Now I can't honestly choose one. He's subtley hilarious, so much so that sometimes his jokes even get missed by the programme's audience... I love his one liners and his breaking the fourth wall.
The theme song of the series was the song ÿoung ones from cliff richard and his name his mentiont quit a bit in the series so not really taken a piss ;-) Listen to teh song young ones of Cliff and the themesong of the series young ones ;-)
The series is named young ones ,a song fron Cliff, he,s mentiont quit some times in the series by Rick in the series who is a fan in the series, don,t know if he is for real;-0 as result this coop between the young ones and Cliff for Comic Relief
Do you mean Heathcliff( the musical )?? Cos I used to have that on video, how embarrassing! But yeah, his hair was long in that :D hehe Actually it's a pretty good musical but they only released a few copies of the dvd and you can't get them anywhere for under 100 quid! Sorry for the unwanted info lol! :)

Cliff Richard was never cool, that's the point. Rick liked to think he was out there on the edge of culture, a rebel, but he liked Cliff Richard.
