Bottom - Series 1-3 [DVD]

Product Information

I’m sure many of you fans own or are aware of most of this lot, you could probably tell me of others and even spot some gaps in my collection.

It started as a joke until they learned that Alan Yentob, then head of BBC2, disliked the title which convinced the pair to stick with it.I think one of the most unfair things that happened in my life was strict TV watching guidelines in my house.

This is most annoying, and surely happens due to pure laziness on the part of those in charge with releasing the material.

The story involves the pair operating a grotty remote guesthouse next to a nuclear power plant and feeding their guests radioactive fish, causing massive amounts of vomiting. The marriage aspect of the show is played up more in the earlier series, with Richie in the domestic setting, playing the housewife to Eddie’s breadwinner character, often coming in and hanging his hat and coat up and plonking himself in front of the TV, before they have their first domestic of the episode.

In season 3 there is an episode stuck on a Ferris wheel, the Halloween episode (my favourite), packing for a holiday, counterfeit money, the honeymoon caper, and the stolen BBC camera. Despite the characters and humour being in the same vein as Bottom, [25] Mayall said Guest House Paradiso was never meant to be a film version of Bottom because other sitcoms that had film adaptations "didn't work".

He explained that Mayall was eager to revive their old characters, but struggled to accept that Edmondson was not interested. The 2001 tour consisted of 76 dates, which included a show at the National Arena in Birmingham to over 4,500 people. The live format allowed Rik and Ade to shake off the bounds of BBC censorship and be as rude and crude as they pleased; subsequently each show was rated 18 for language, violence and sexual references. Nickelodeon, SpongeBob SquarePants and all related titles, logos and characters are trademarks of Viacom International Inc.Bottom Live 3: Hooligan's Island is the third live show based on Bottom and was filmed at the Bristol Hippodrome in 1997. The original scripts can be found in the published script books, and several completely removed scenes were included in the VHS release Fluff that consisted mostly of bloopers. Every episode from all three series of the anarchic, violent sitcom, following the fortunes of Richie Richard (Rik Mayall) and Eddie Hitler (Adrian Edmondson), two grotesque losers living in a squalid flat in London and trying to make sense of their pointless existence. The BBc have to prepare an obscenity report to American networks when trying to sell stuff to them, so they know where they might need to make cuts if they want to. Edmondson said that one of the reasons for stopping the show was the struggle to come up with new ideas as "we'd already hit each other with everything in the flat".
