Bottom Page 12

I don't remember these either!

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

No comment.

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

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...
