Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

"Have we got a video?"
"No, not till series two".
"What would be on it if we did, not another sickeningly nice sitcom like The Good Life?"
"No, six episodes of a horrible, vile, disgusting sitcom about four students who live in the most revolting house in Britain."
"Utterly, utterly brilliant!"

Like Fawlty Towers (1975/79), The Young Ones ran for just two series and 12 episodes. Every episode was packed with insane situations, wildly inventive surrealism, deranged dialogue (occasionally involving SPG, the talking hamster) side-splitting OTT cartoon violence and more bellylaughs than a 100 normal comedies. The Young Ones made stars of Adrian Edmondson and Rik Mayall (Bottom, was a sort-of-sequel), Nigel Planer and Alexei Sayle, while the guests were a roll-call of the finest young comedy talent. The Young Ones was, alongside Black Adder (1983-9), the best laugh of the 80s. With an atom bomb in front of the fridge, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, and a proletariat revolutionary poet obsessed with Cliff Richard, it's still exhaustingly funny. Father Ted (1995-8) and Men Behaving Badly (1991-8) might be considered mutant offspring. --Gary S. Dalkin

4.0 out of 5 stars Buy it, Hippies!, 29 Nov 2002
By Mr. A. M. Bayliss "The Ashman" (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was the ripe old age of 2 when this was first shown and consequently too young to remember it first time around. However, because it achieved classic status, and rightly so, it was repeated and I remember watching it when I was about 7 laughing hystericly at people falling over and being crushed by giant sandwhichs.
Now I'm the grand old age of 22 and can afford to buy it on DVD, and while I still laugh at people falling over and being crushed by giant sandwichs, I now actually "understand" the humour. I never realised back in those days of childhood just how ground breaking and political this sitcom actually was. The great thing about the Young Ones is the fact that it was so different. Other sitcoms of the time such as Allo Allo and Bread simply just aren't funny anymore. You could debate weather they were ever funny, but we won't just yet! The Young Ones was the Punk of the sitcom world. Everyone was quite happily watching pleasant sitcoms with pleasant characters doing everything in a plesantly twee way, then BAM! 4 discusting students arrive, beat each other up, discover oil, have they're house demolished, discover an atom bomb and have Dexy's Midnight Runners and Madness play in they're front room! Confused? You will be! The great thing is, although all the stories do have plots, they are so mind numbingly stupid and usually end in complete and utter farce! It's also quite amusing to see Kieth Allen and Hale and Pace looking so youthful! The DVD isn't packed with extras, there's no behind the scenes footage or interactive talking hamster game, but with comedy this great you don't need it! True it hasn't aged brilliantly but it's still one of the greatest comedies ever made and will go down in history as truely ground breaking. Buy it and be delighted and appaled in equal measures!
