The Young Ones - session clips

Three out-take clips from the pre-record sessions for the Young Ones episode 'Nasty', taken from a two-hour bootleg of sessions. Dreadful quality, but fascinating viewing.

a) A short clip from the LeCarre spoof featuring Mark Arden, Stephen Frost and Daniel Peacock as the men in the shack - boasting a few lines of extra dialogue ("Must warn Smelly..." - is a reference to George Smiley, a character in 'Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy' and 'Smiley's People').

b) A blooper from the same scene showing the aftermath of some over-exuberant tugging on Arden's trousers by Peacock. The floor manager is Ed Bye.

c) Technicians setting up the SPG puppet for the "Ooh, have we got a video?" cutaway. As they prepare for the take we hear the voices of Rik Mayall and Ade Edmonson rehearsing the line several times (suggesting they bring out an SGP LP like Roland Rat did) and discussing the scene it appears in:

MAYALL
What's the line before - it's you and Chris...?

EDMONSON
"What for the video or Rick's bedsprings?"

MAYALL
"Ooh, have we got a video?"

@MayallFan35 Just added the full 'Painaway' session...

[MayallFan35]

@pauldullson awesome. so are these on a special disc of the young ones or something?

[pauldullson]

@MayallFan35 Nah, they're from a two-hour VHS of pre-record sessions for 'Cash' and 'Nasty' which does the rounds with collectors. We did send a copy to the people who compiled the last DVD set but they apparently thought the picture quality wasn't worth bothering with.
