Product Description
In this hilarious and suitably outrageous series that followed hot on the heels of The Young Ones , Nigel Planer, Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson join forces under the penmanship of Ben Elton to break the fourth wall with a sledgehammer in Filthy, Rich and Catfl ap. Mayall stars as Richie Rich, the entirely unfamous and massively selfcentred zlist celebrity and television presenter, supported by his doggedly loyal entourage of one, Edmondson s Eddie Catflap. Represented by their dour agent and occasional pornographer Ralph Filthy (Planer), the series finds Rich and cohorts leaving a trail of dead milkmen in their wake, appearing on TVam, engaging with a morally lax Australian press magnate, entertaining new game show formats and being arrested for shoplifting all of which turn out to be the least of their problems. Featuring a plethora of guest stars including Barbara Windsor, The Nolan Sisters, Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie, Harry Enfi eld, Mel Smith, Anne Diamond and Midge Ure, this 25th Anniversary Edition is an opportunity to celebrate the noholdsbarred talent of a comic writing and performance team at the top of their craft. It may be Thatcher s Britain, but the world belongs to Filthy, Rich and Catflap. CONTAINS SUBTITLES

I bought this and was great to see on DVD. I would like to inform anyone, who was wondering, whether this DVD had the omitted singing Scenes restored. Well, I am pleased to say that it has. Richie singing in Bed on 1st ep: opening scene and Eddie singing to Midge Ure. I still own the Videos and I watched those and the Singing scenes were cut. Them been cut does not make any difference to the Series, but is nice to see them. So now you can buy, without hesitation. Enjoy them as much as i did.

If you know this series, you'll get the title of my review. A simply awesome series with loads of stuff recycled in Bottom. However, if you're new to this, you'll need to understand their motivation as the jokes about Brucie, Tom O'Connery, Lesie Crowthery and of course, the Tarby, simply won't resonate. Once you understand, you'll howl with laughter.
Oooer, sounds a bit rude!

I bought this to replace a video edition. It is far better than video as you can go straight to the Nolans episode which takes the mick out of art and celebrity
