The Young Ones 

The Young Ones was a comedy which helped bring alternative comedy into fashion , with weird plots musical interludes it was must see TV. The plot centered around four students all sharing a house and living in filth. (4k)

In the house were 

Rik: he was a huge fan of Cliff Richard, and tried to meet girls at every available opportunity.    (he is the one far left) (played by Rik Mayal) 

Vivian: This is a guy on the edge with a taste for destruction and violence mostly inflicted on Rik. 

(He is on the far right) (Played by Adrian Edmondson) 

Neil: The hippy type who cooks the most but weirdly only with lentils.

Also in a lot of the episodes Alexis Sayle Appears 

 

Filthy, Rich and Catflap

This was a show shown on BBC2 in 1987, but was not on for long. 

This stared 

Rik Mayal as Ritchie Rich a sad person trying to become a star

 

It also stared Adrian Edmondson as Eddie Catflap who was employed as Ritchie's minder but  is useless at his job and ends up hurting Ritchie instead of protecting him. 

 

 

And finally Nigel Planer as Ralph Filthy (or Filthy Ralph as he's sometimes called) he is a alcoholic agent. 

 

 

Bottom 

This was there most recent TV show its plot revolved around Richard Richard and his flat/Best mate Edward Elizabeth Hitler. Most episodes would involve them getting into fights using umbrellas, frying pans or anything the4y could lay their hands on. This was and sometimes still is shown by BBC2/ UK gold. 

 

RICHARD RICHARD

This character was played by Rik Mayal and was a really sad lonely person trying to get girls to go out with him and failing miserably, The closest he comes is with magazines or catalogues

  Richard is the one on the couch. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

EDWARD ELIZABETH HITLER

He was played by Adrian Edmondson and was a almost always drunk violent man who  loved to inflict pain on to Richard. He got asked quite a lot in the series if he was related to adolf Hitler and he would reply that was his mothers name. 

Eddie is the one with the bat. 

 

In my opinion this was their best show.
