Richard Richard & Edward Elizabeth Hitler, two men with no hope of fitting in with society. Adrian Edmondson and Rik Mayall take an anarchic look into the lives of these two friends who are forever commiting violence on each other. This series could be said to be a follow up, of a kind, to The Young Ones. Same stars and same attitude but the young ones are now heading into middle age. A successful series that spawned five live tours [and five videos of these shows] and a big screen film, Guest House Paradiso. (Source: thetvdb.com)

12	The Dangerous Brothers Present World of Danger	1993-08-18
The Dangerous Brothers was a stage and TV act by anarchic comedy duo Rik Mayall and Ade Edmondson, performing respectively as "Richard Dangerous" and "Sir (or occasionally Lady) Adrian Dangerous". They appeared in a number of brief sketches in the 1980s TV programme Saturday Live. The act was, in essence, a prototype of the career which the pair were to forge over the next twenty years in such shows as Mr Jolly Lives Next Door; Filthy, Rich and Catflap; and Bottom- two low-life loser perverts hitting each other in spectacular slapstick ways. It was arguably more hazardous than much of the material which was to follow in later incarnations - stage props in the brief run included a live (and very large, although apparently lethargic) crocodile, blank-firing submachine guns, and Edmondson apparently consuming Vim, a well-known UK brand of powder toilet cleaner. One of the early sketches went wrong when a stunt to set fire to Edmondson's trousers left him with serious burns - although much of this was left on the broadcast version. Sketches included World Of Danger (AKA The Towering Inferno) Big Stunt Torture - featuring Norman Lovett Crocodile Snogging (which featured a live crocodile) Flying Zebra Exploding Politicians (in which Richard Dangerous attempts to become the 41st President of the United States of America) How To Get Off With A Lady - featuring Edmondson's wife Jennifer Saunders Babysitting - featuring Morwenna Banks as the wife and John Bird as the husband. Dangervision Kinky Sex One sketch guest-starred Stephen Fry & Hugh Laurie. When the Dangerous Brothers interrupt their flower arranging routine, Fry & Laurie inform them they have been banned. The Brothers leave, only to return moments later disguised as The Ben Elton Brothers. One of the final sketches prepared for Saturday Live was entitled 'Kinky Sex'. This fell foul of Channel 4 censors who banned it. The duo responded by apparently hijacking the programme and blowing up the wall on whi
11	Big Bottom Live (The Best Of)	1999-11-15
This combination of all the best bits of their three live performances and the making of Guest House Paradiso is superb. The countless sexual inuendos, bottom burps and violent toilet humour is cleverly followed by the making of their film. It contains footage on how they achieved all the special effects including the shooting green vomit and Richie (Rik Mayall) being blown up in a red rubber suit. A great video from the kings of alternative comedy
10	Fluff - Series 3	1996-11-04
Meet Richard Richard and Eddie Hitler, two pimples on life's bottom - whose ever desperate search for cash, women and the good life had established them as the most disgusting, repulsive, needlessly violent losers on television. So when, during recordings, Rik and Ade mess up, miss cues, forget lines, or reach for misplaced props, are they contrite, polite, discreet and charming? ARE THEY F**K! Such antics are merely the spur to the juvenile sniggers, competitive swearing, two fingered and other hand salutes and ad-libs too disgusting to find their way to the screen. So whether you're a dedicated Bottom delver or just pick at an occasional Bottom, this is your backstage pass to the most bad-arsed comedy of the 90s - a collection of bloopers, out takes, corpses and more than a fair share of pure ring-tingling bollock-ups that are right up your alley.

Every single gouge, punch and belt, not only from the three TV series of Bottom and the five Bottom Live videos, but also from The Young Ones, Filthy Rich & Catflap, The Dangerous Brothers and The Comic Strip Presents...the meat hooks up the nose, the thong removal with an oxyacetylene torch, the blazing farts after eating 'The Sprouts of Doom', Vyvyan kicking his head down the railway track, the 'Towering Inferno' impression that went wrong...
