FANS JUST WON'T STOP TALKING ABOUT ADE AND RIK'S CRAZY SITCOM

- ANGELA PEARSON and PAUL TANTER

RIK Mayall and Adrian Edmondson's Bottom exploded on to British television in the early 90s. The anarchic sitcom was violent, rude, disgusting and so uproariously funny that it became an instant hit with viewers. It was absolutely littered with double entendres and slapstick fight scenes that left you howling with laughter or wincing - either way, your eyes watered. Now ANGELA PEARSON and PAUL TANTER, two of the hosts of podcast Talking Bottom, share their love for the comedy classic...

WHEN Bottom debuted in 1991, Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson were already sitcom heroes.

They had revolutionised TV comedy in cultural phenomenon The Young Ones.

Whereas that show personified the idiocy and vitality of youth, Bottom saw Rik and Ade's personas struggling in stagnating adulthood, trapped in hilarious arrested development.

As Richard Richard (Mayall) and Edward Elizabeth Hitler (Edmondson), they gave us a perfect mixture of rude wordplay and pathetic plots, combined with lashings of cartoon violence.

The show was originally called Your Bottom in the hope that viewers discussing it would say things like: "I saw your bottom on TV last night." It became simply Bottom after a compromise with BBC Two controller Alan Yentob.
