Audrey_L This show is one of my favorite comedies. When I was a kid, I saw a few episodes from each season on TV, but I never had a chance to see the whole series. In the light of Mr. Mayall's passing, I've decided to watch a few shows in which he starred, to honor his life and work. Up until today I've seen "Bottom", "The New Statesman", "The Young Ones" and "Filthy Rich & Catflap".Last week, I watched "Bottom" from start to finish and I absolutely loved it, that was such a treat. Although some people on IMDb's message board complain that the third series was cartoonish, I don't mind that, to me it's equally good as the first two seasons. My favorite episodes are "Apocalypse", "Holy" and "Finger". But the other episodes are not far behind those three. A lot of times the sequence of events was so silly and surreal that it made me think: 'Oh no, they're not gonna go that far' and they always did. The violent slapstick is marvelously executed and so are the duologue's between Eddie and Richard. Supporting characters, especially Dave Hedgehog and Spud Gun are also charming. I was glad to see Helen Lederer as a guest star, whenever I see her on screen I remember Catriona from Ab Fab. All in all, this is a great show.I give it a 10/10

WakenPayne This TV Show Is Great. It Had A Few Spin-Offs Where They Went Live & They Are Actually Better Than The Original. These 2 (Cough) 'Friends' Constantly Try To Get Laid Especially Richard Who Is A Virgin. This Is Definitely Not For The Elderly & If You Want A TV Show Thats Comedy But Not To Offensive...Well You'll Get The First Half Of That "A TV Show Thats Comedy" If You Want Something Unoffensive What Part Of The Plot "These 2 (Cough) 'Friends' Constantly Try To Get Laid Especially Richard Who Is A Virgin." When Did You Think That Was Unoffensive. The Whole TV Series Is Extremely Funny & The Two (Cough) 'Friends' Can Be Unnaturally Stupid. This Is An Excellent 90's Comedy.

Becky Richardson I have to say that I actually don't like Bottom quite as much as The Young Ones. I don't know why but to me TYO is slightly better. However Bottom is still fantastic. Rik and Ade are hilarious in this and I recommend anyone who likes it to get it on DVD because the reams of outtakes are also amazingly funny. I love the character of Richie - I'm not sure you're supposed to because he's not exactly likable but he's just brilliantly played by Rik Mayall. I would agree with Jack Massey that Burglary is the best episode but the best quote is when the police show up and spot Eddie reading the paper. Policeman: Did you know that paper's upside down? Eddie: Err....so are my eyes (rolls his eyes like a lunatic). Genius.

DonSalsa Richard Richard and Edward Hitler...ahhh...I love everything these guys do. Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson is the most violent,fun comedy act around.I'd go as far as saying that this duo is as equal revolutionary as Monty Python. It's really not easy comparing this...all I can think of is The Young Ones(another show by Edmondson and Mayall).Expect your typical in-your face British humor with a dose of Python meeting Ren and Stimpy. Watch these sad old roommate gits,Richie - always trying to score with some bird and using horrible pick-up lines and Ed Hitler,drunken looser.They seem to always beat up each other silly...and and...now just go and watch it..you bastard!
