Bottom Forever: Memories Of A Cult Comedy Classic

By Adrian Peel

Manic 90s sitcom Bottom was so fun, fresh, in-your-face and cartoonishly violent in its often wild and over-the-top portrayal of two social misfits living in squalor, that one of its stars, the late, great Rik Mayall, used to regularly be a bundle of nerves before filming would commence.

If you remember this BBC comedy classic (of the kind they just don't make anymore) with fondness, then the revelations included here from some of the people involved - including Mayall's co-star Adrian Edmondson - should prove enlightening and may also fill your heart with nostalgia.

From an experienced writer who has interviewed numerous actors and comedians, this book is a must for fans of British comedy and of 90s pop culture in general.

Keen to learn more about what it was really like to work with comedy legends Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson - as well as some previously unknown insights into the series from actors, one of the producers and even a stuntman who worked on it? Then look no further.
