Where would you stop with the editing/censoring before it ruined the flow and dialogue? Without posting potentially sensitive/offensive stuff here, there are loads more instances of pejoratives and situations where I raised an eyebrow during a recent rewatch - stuff the actors and writers probably cringe themselves to death over now. But to start making cuts and edits would disrupt the absolute comedy gold around it. Difficult.

I was sad that we didn’t do a bit more. It was popular, and that was a struggle for me. Because my own work was abrasive and challenging in some ways, I struggled with popularity. The Young Ones delivered me a kind of popularity by proxy which I appreciated.Things get even crazier when landlord Jerzei comes in though, and unwittingly drinks Vyv’s new potion that turns him into an axe-wielding homicidal maniac. He’s eventually lured into the room with the lions, but by this point the guys are now trapped by a flood that has engulfed the house, which gives them more reason to panic. The floodwaters begin to recede at the end of the episode though, as we see Vyv’s hamster SPG – who had been thrown out into the flood after a fight – floating on a drink can with an olive branch in his mouth, while a completely different closing theme plays that isn’t used in any other episode.

The Young Ones has a little bit in common with Fawlty Towers, in the sense that it only had 12 episodes, yet it still had a massive impact and is remembered as one of the all-time classics. But that’s where any similarities end. It’s safe to say it was completely unlike anything that had been on TV before, propelling its stars and the genre of alternative comedy into the mainstream. Sure, there had been some crazy comedy shows prior to it, which no doubt had some degree of influence upon its creators, but this really pushed the boundaries and took things to another level. Neil: Do you think that's where they get the questions from? "The world's record for stuffing marshmallows up one single nostril..." The third option is an on stage performance by Rik Mayall in which he reads a poem to the audience. It is from the Fundamental Frolics concert in 1981 and RikÆs on-stage personality and poem indicate that RikÆs character on The Young Ones was in the works well before they began filming the pilot episode. Alexei Sayle (Jerzei Balowski) The first time I met Rik and Ade was a night at [Soho venue] the Comedy Store when I chose to do a really ill-advised piece of material. I was drunk as well, and there was a journalist in from the Observer so it seemed important. And I died really badly, so it was upsetting to see how funny they were!They're saying it's completely uncut. And the suggestion is also that the flash frames that were cut for original broadcast will be in the extras. The Young Ones - The Complete Collection: 40th Anniversary Edition Blu-ray set.

Vyvyan and the Balowsky relative end up in a closet that leads them to Narnia and the Balowsky relative drinks a potion that turns him into a homicidal maniac. No Musical Guest The only word of warning I'd give you is this show is very much a product of early-80's Britain; the political references and music will be quite dated/unknown for a lot of Americans, one would imagine.
