I only know about them cos I saw them on a YouTube video about retro video gaming the other month

He said in a comment. For a show you claim to despise you spend a lot of time posting in the thread about it!
By the way, there's a great in depth interview with director Ed Bye that delves deep into Bottom, so to speak: https://talkingbottom.podbean.com/e/ed-bye-interview/
I talk about this show because I'm a Young Ones obsessive and even though it's bolox it's part of their ''''''''''work''''''''''. For the same reason I read Salinger's Crapwank 16 1924, listened to the Clash's Cut the Shit and bought Ringo Starr's Christmas album.
What's not to like?
It's basically if Rick and Vyvian shared a flat together about 10 years after The Young Ones
(Yes I know they technically died at the end of TYO!)
Better than Young Ones!
The Young Ones was far more inventive and original and groundbreaking
But Bottom was just funnier

Spoiler alert!

That's only half true. Like saying One Direction are shit hot.
The Bottom Exposed documentary was brilliant. It was emotional seeing Ade talk about Rik.
I recently listened to Ade's Desert Island Disks podcast. That was also moving.

I really liked it too. Would've been even better if the talking heads had also included Steve O'Donnell and Christopher Ryan (Spudgun and Dave Hedgehog) but they had some decent contributions from others anyway.
I watched Bottom a lot in the 90s, so some of the episodes might be worth a rewatch now they're all available to stream.
The producer of the documentary is interviewed here...
Oh good.
I enjoyed watching Bottom Exposed. It was great seeing some of the behind the scenes stuff and learning about things that were done to make the show.
The most interesting thing for me was when Ade started to talk about working with Rik after the accident, the difficulties he'd had, and how their views differed on the future of the show. I had a feeling here that there was much more that Ade wanted to say. To me it felt like he was on the verge of saying a lot more about the strained relationship, but ultimately decided to say no more to camera. More than likely due to his respect for his friend. I also got the impression that Ade felt a bit awkward being the only opinion on the show now that Rik was no longer there to tell his side of things. That's just my thoughts though. It was moving at the end when Ade was trying to hold back tears when talking about the moment he heard the news of Rik's death.
Overall it was a good watch if you're a Bottom fan but gets a bit sad as it approaches the latter stages.
I really loved the Young Ones but I only saw Bottom a couple of times and wasn't impressed.
