Press
Bottom (BBC2) is written by and stars Adrian Edmondson and Rik Mayall. [...] I have never in all my puff seen anything so full of tasteless sex and mindless violence. [...] It's wonderful but you can use the quote about tasteless sex and mindless violence, if you like. It'll sell more tickets.
Nancy Banks-Smith, The Guardian, 18th September 1991
