The Young Ones, Why It's A Great Show

The Young Ones was a BBC2 blast of fresh air. First shown in autumn / winter 1982 between 9 november and 14 December, it was written by Rick Mayall and his then-girlfriend Lise Mayer, with some guy named Ben Elton also chipping in. It does not say so, but perhaps should have – Warning, this show is not for parents!

The show starred Mayall, Ade Edmondson, Christopher Ryan, Nigel Planer as a student (P) Rick, Vyvyan, Mike (The Cool Person) and Neil Pye. Alexei Sayle also appeared as their landlord, presumed Eastern immigrants Jerzei Balowski.

No, this one so the boys evaporate to their new house. Its surreal tone was set by the opening scene when the statue outside the front door complains bitterly, 'More bloody students, and is told of sunflower was beside him, "… shut up and put some clothes on."

Shortly after entering the front door, says Mike Neil, to the big pile of letters on the mat to bills. "Who is Bill?" Neil asks the camera. Absolutely blinding!

It is Vyvyan who strikes oil in the basement, and after instructing Neil and Rik that there will be a house meeting in the diet closet for nine in the morning, they all go to sleep on it. Unfortunately for Rik, Neil, it is a plot of Mike and Vyvyan seizing of oil and virtue, Neil and Rik digging …

The music is provided by Alexei Sayle (?) With Radical Posture band with a song about Dr. Marten boots! There is also a small cameo from Buddy Holly – yes, Buddy Holly. Apparently he had been stabbed, up and down and wrapped in his parachute in the house for the last 20 years. And of course There were two chaps holiday in the basement …
