Bottom

Bottom is one of those shows which is so ridiculously over the top and crazy, that it's something you will either love or hate. Perhaps this is more a reflection of my mental age, but I definitely endorse this show. The show stars 2 character, Ritchie and Eddie, both are broke, unemployed idiots who reside in a very grubby flat in Hammersmith. They have no real goals in life, no sense of direction, they don't even wander around aimlessly. In fact almost exclusively they spend their time couped up in their home. They spend their time attacking each other with whatever comes to hand, or insulting one another which to leaves to a mass brawl. When they ...  Read the complete review

Bottom is one of those funny shows i hadnt seen in absolutely ages and i found a Bottom dvd in a cupboard of mine a few days ago. I played it and couldnt stop laughing for ages.

Bottom was created by and starred the brilliant Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson. The story centres around characters Richie and Eddie and most of it is filmed in their ...  Read the complete review

They work really well together and the the face expressions they pull off are hilariously funny. A lot ...  Read the complete review

Bottom follows in the same style as the previously successful The Young Ones, as it stars two of the actors from The Young Ones, Rick Mayall and Ade Edmonson as Richie and Eddie. The show ran for three series and numerous stage shows and a fourth series had been developed, but was not taken up by the BBC. The series follows the adventures of Richie and Eddie, two hopeless, unemployed men that have trouble attracting the attention of the opposite sex. The pair both live in a run down flat in Hammersmith. The main elements of the show involved very violent slap stick comedy, as after a gag one of them would normally end up hitting each other with an item that ...  Read the complete review
