Bottom

Just working my way through the boxset and figured it's worthy of a thread.

Possibly one of my favourite comedies of all time. Wish they did a new series!

i have most of these on dvd...classics and better than the young ones in my opinion

peterattheboro · 17 Jan 2010 at 22:28

I loved The Young Ones aswell but this is definatley better.

apparently rick said they had a 4th series planned but lesbians in the bbc stopped it.

I always liked the Young ones more, but they're pretty similar. Great comedies.

Ahh Bottom, my favorite comedy show ever. I grew up watching this (yes its a little naughty) but the humour is just so perfectly suited to my tastes it puts me into hysterics.

Richie is the funniest thing ever to grace comedy television, of course Eddies great too.

One thing I did notice was just how inspired it was from Rising Damp, which is something I only started watching for the first time a few years ago.

Love it!

Lol!

The Live! releases are great as well.

Probably one of the best comedies I've seen, and I think it was the first one I watched a lot when it was first shown.

Pity the Live shows were guff

Bottom is great, I nearly went to see one of their live shows.

It looks like you can watch them all for free on MSN player here, can anyone confirm they are all full with no adverts? I have no flash player access at the moment.

Cheers.

bottom one of the best shows ever made, not sure if you have but check out the stage shows they did aswell:

Bottom Live
Bottom Live: The Big Number Two Tour
Bottom Live 3: Hooligan's Island

hooligan's island is prob my favorite.

Bottom was a great comedy, it managed 18 episodes between 1991 and 1995, six more than The Young Ones. They even managed a spin-off film, Guest House Paradiso.

Loved the camping episode

And what a utter drivel it was, thankfully most people will have long forgotten about it.

One of my favourite films, if you just take it for what it is, cheap humour.

"We bung it up in the air, it bursts and illuminates us..."

"Alright."

"Watch it, watch it, watch it... oh blimey!"

/much screaming and stamping

"Emergency Bitter!"

"Nooooo!"

Carnival is my all time favourite episode.

"They've waving back... yes, but they're not using all their fingers."

"OI RICHIE... I've just had a fantastic IDEA!

"Well?..."
"What?"
"What was your fantastic Idea?"
"To Drink That!... Only Joking!"

The one where they're stuck up in the fairground ride was awesome.

xb8browney · 18 Jan 2010 at 09:48

Brilliant show.

deadite66 · 18 Jan 2010 at 09:53

in the outtakes extras they have the carnival swearing unbleeped.
