The Young Ones Series One & Two

There was Mike, the suave, sensible one; Vyvyan, the psychotic punk-metal mohican; Neil, the lentil loving hippy and Rik, right-on anarchist revolutionary and Cliff Richard fan: four students--desperate for money, excitement, girls or just something to help fill the day--sharing a house. From this simple set up came an amazing speed-ball of comic caricature, slapstick, infantile humour, animation, musical performances, rants, violence, abuse and surreal jokes--leaving an impression as jaw-dropping as finding one of Vyvyan's steel-capped boots through out television screens. The Young Ones brought the irreverence, anarchy and energy of the new alternative comedy movement to situation comedy--and it would never be the same again.
