Rik and Ade's awkward hot seat interview (FULL VERSION) | Going Live! | 17/04/1993

The stars of anarchic sitcom Bottom, Rik Mayall (Richie) and Ade Edmondson (Eddie), were guests on the last ever Going Live! to promote their first live tour. Here is the full hilariously awkward (kids telly and that!) 10 min interview with them and a classic clip from Bottom.

During live studio phone-ins, the handsets were just studio props as the caller's voice was always heard from everyone in studio hence Ade's gags!

It's like one of those conversations you have with someone you don't really want to talk to but have to in order to avoid being rude.

@MrCharlieTwist haha good description!

[DANSTERsss]

this interviewer is awful.

[putthetellyon1]

@DANSTERsss if you think this is bad, you want to see this Pebble Mill interview with Ade 2 years later... watch?v=1mZVnxTFfJo

@putthetellyon1 This site isn't up anymore. Is there another place we can find it?

[putthetellyon1]

@pansatyrson Ah copyright strikes again! Wasn't worth viewing anyway to be honest.

[HeyArnoldsspleen]

Bottom promoted on kids telly, those were the days

[SophisticatedLunatic]

Someone inform me: what accents do Rik and Ade have?

[gavinpow77]

@MadOnMusic1 I seriously doubt Sara Greene thought them inappropriate for the programme. Her and her husband Mike Smith were close friends of Ade Edmondson at the time. It's actually more likely that she was the one that wanted them on the show and that she just had a grumpy gallery controller in her earpiece telling her how to orchestrate the interview and telling her to stop them saying rude words!

[SuedeKnight]

I can't honestly imagine trying to interview these two on a kid's show. It really is like trying to air The Sopranos on the Family Channel.

what year was this interviewed if u do not mind me asking :)

[TheSteelStallion]

"I can sense something in your voice tells me you might be a bit of a fan.."

Well why the bloody hell else would he be ringing in?!

"I bet you're the sort of person who loves doing Vivian Impressions"

Condescending bitch.

For such an awfully planned interview the guys played it off pretty well and still had me laughing. Long live Rik and Ade!

[JimPlaysGames]

These guys are amazing that they managed to be funny in the middle of this horrific train wreck of an interview.

@FreedSpiritProd

I thought she looked hot! In her 50's now, can't believe it lol

[deliria02]

Love the kid's comment near the end: 'The Middleaged Ones' xD

[MadOnMusic1]

Shes fucking stuck up, if she thinks they werent appropriate for a childrens show thing then they shouldnt have been allowed on when they know what humour the come out with!

I love Ade and Rik and I always will- die hard fan <3
