The show is notable for Rik Mayall's near ten minutes of infectious laughter when he messes up his lines and struggles to carry on with the plot. This collection is certainly getting on in age, while the transfer is as you would expect from early nineties, studio bound UK television. This was a topical gag as the formal separation was officially announced not long before Christmas that year. From Rock Bottom to Bikini Bottom, you will look cooler than Kevin the Cucumber in your new SpongeBob SquarePants gear!

This included new productions from comics known at the Comic Strip in an attempt to attract viewers, with including Mayall and Edmondson for Bottom and Dawn French for Murder Most Horrid. Eddie begins forging money, forcing the duo and their friends to enter a pub quiz to pay off a thug. The plot of the season three episode Dough involves the pair forging money which contains pornographic doodles of the Royals that are described in the show as ‘tantamount to treason’. These sort of people need to feel important and probably love the moment they spot something un-PC so they can demand that edits be made.

Upon delivering their scripts, the BBC expressed concern that the show could not sustain itself with two characters alone, to which Mayall and Edmondson used Tony Hancock and Sid James as an example, and got their way. Whenever tensions hit a breaking point, Richie and Eddie end up fighting (albeit in a comical, Tom and Jerry-style, with adult themes). But last year they were given the opportunity(I don't know why) to edit the episode in to what they orignally wanted.

After some time the pair realised that they had produced a substantial work that would suit a feature film. In addition to the series the pair completed five stage show tours between 1993 and 2003, and adapted the sitcom into a feature-length film, Guest House Paradiso, released in 1999. How can this be achieved if the BBC has the nerve to sneakily censor its programmes without any announcement? When I watched a repeat of this after Diana's death, it had been crudely cut, no doubt due to the Beeb's oversensitivity on the issue.It was not broadcast as part of the original series after Rachel Nickell was murdered on Wimbledon Common, due to which the BBC delayed its broadcast until a rerun of the second series on 10 April 1995.

The 2001 tour consisted of 76 dates, which included a show at the National Arena in Birmingham to over 4,500 people. Hearst UK is the trading name of the National Magazine Company Ltd, 30 Panton Street, Leicester Square, London, SW1Y 4AJ. They soon find themselves in over their heads when the most popular students start beating each other up in the name of self-defense.They did subvert it in the penultimate episode, where they steal a pair of honeymoon tickets, and Eddie actually dons a frock in disguise and discovers his inner lesbian. In most cases, the bottom of the DVD-Rs look a bit blue or purple, while the back of the CD-Rs a a bit more green. Although watching this collection, I was pleasantly surprised to realise just how much of Bottom I had missed when originally broadcast. In August 2012, the BBC announced that it had commissioned a series based on the Hooligan's Island stage show, where Eddie and Richie cause havoc on a deserted tropical island, set to air in 2013.

While he hoped a rejection by the BBC would put Mayall's aspirations to rest, the idea was ultimately greenlit. After a Bottom fan account tweeted the news yesterday that some episodes were being dropped for ‘not being PC’, many fans made the same joke: ‘That would be all of them’.After the latter ended in 1987, the pair "drifted away" for a period before reuniting after they caught the attention of producer and executive Paul Jackson, who had also worked on The Young Ones, and pitched initial ideas they had for a new sitcom. Each show also featured regular breaking of the fourth wall as Rik and Ade interacted with the audience and, on some occasions, reacted to hecklers. However, only one episode is involved – and it was pulled from the catch-up service after the Queen’s death last September, but only just noticed.
