WakenPayne Take nothing away from Mayall or Emondson. Their ability (or sheer insanity - take your pick) is enough to make me like (maybe even love) a 1½ hour conversation between them both, along with whatever they pass off as a plot.The closest this show comes to having a plot is that Eddie has been in the lavatory for 15 days straight. Richie is tired of it and wants to know what he's been doing in there. Turns out the answer is building gadgets (that most were thought up by Richie's dead uncle who fought in the first world war). Some of them include time machines (of which I think is the main "jump the shark"), Evacuators and Weapons Grade Larger (of which is so powerful that you don't remember a thing after your first sip).I think the introduction of the time machine is the one real thing I find wrong with it. The only funny part that comes out of it is Rick and Ade going back to their Young Ones material, only to finish it with Rich saying "Your material hasn't changed much in 20 years". The whole "The meaning of life is pants" thing was less funny and more in the vein of childish (and this is coming from somebody that found one or two things to laugh at in Disaster Movie - namely the Chipmunks and the Enchanted Princess in places - that's about it). I found the Evacuator hilarious as well as their outbursts of meaningless and senseless violence.So this an okay show for you to watch. It's just that it could have been so much better than what it was.

nickybeet1981 i saw this tour live in Birmingham and they were great. They interact with the crowd so well. I would say that this was there second best tour behind hooligans island. I don't think that they have lost any of there spark. I also have the video of this tour and it is laugh out loud funny. i definitely recommend that any bottom or young ones fan goes out to the shops straight away 2 buy this Ade+Rik are true comic geniuses of our time. this was there last live tour and what a way 2 finish. this was a top notch performance from start to finish i would definitely give i a 10 out of 10 not only for content but also for style and stage presence.the other reason this works so well is that u can truly believe that Ade edmondson is Eddie Hitler and that Rik mayall is Richard Richard Esq. I must issue a warning though,when i first saw this show i laughed so much that my face,ribs and stomach hurt for days. This show just like the other live shows,bottom series and the actors definitely get better with age and the more you watch the funnier it becomes.This is just what u expect from Rik+Ade but thats not to say it is boring,formulaic or predictable.

Ian Jenkins (Bulldog7) I have watched every Bottom Live show and own copies of three of them. This is the least good of the lot. I say least good instead of worst because it is still extremely funny. I do think it could have done with a better ending though. Overall I think it was very funny and I can watch it over and over just as I have done with the others. It falls short of the others by only getting 7 out of 10 to the 9 and aboves but still a very worthy effort.

filmfreak-5 I found out purely by coincidence on imdb that this was out, didn't know...ordered it from amazon.co.uk and had it three days later..This is yet another masterpiece of a show...personally I think they started to focus a little TOO much on butt-jokes, but it's ok.. It's no news ofcourse, but it's gotten a little too anal focused now...but it's no problem, it's still one hell of a joyride, and I still give it 10/10 although I still prefer the older stuff a little bit more..Rik and Ade is still empowered like hell, you can see they're not totally young anymore, but atleast they have not sold out like to many genious geezers before them once they start to fear not being able to each the cash they need...these guys are still going strong, and all I wish could for, was that they would take their live shows around the world, and not JUST in the UK....I would literally kill to see these guys live!
