Join Vyvyan, Rik, Neil and Mike in the grottiest student flat share from hell in this unpredictable, swaggering, staggering, exhilarating steamroller of a sitcom!
The Young Ones infantile and surreal humour became essential viewing in the 1980's and early 90's. Representing a landmark in British comedy, there's been nothing quite like it before or since. Starring Rik Mayall, Ade Edmonson, Nigel Planer, Christopher Ryan and Alexei Sayle, The Young Ones humour epitomised Thatcher's Britain, riding on the back of critically acclaimed alternative comedy such as Not The 9 O'Clock News and Blackadder. The plethora of guest stars read like a who's who of British comedy in the 80's and 90's and includes Keith Allen, Chris Barrie, Robbie Coltrane, Ben Elton, Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie, Tony Robinson, Griff Rhys Jones, Mel Smith and Emma Thompson.
Famous also for its musical guest stars, the show featured appearances from many top bands of the time including Madness, Dexy's Midnight Runners and Motorhead.
This DVD release features both series one and two, including the final episode, 'Summer Holiday', where the main characters are killed as their double-decker bus careers off a cliff.

I first watched this show a few years ago and I came to enjoy the first season I bought this remastered box set just after it's release. It has had me and many of my friend in stiches from the moment we watched it. The funny thing is that when this originally aired my uncle watched every episode as it came out. I have found though after watching the episodes more than once the show startes to become boring and repetitive, apart from that it is a great show featuring great actors and musician's.
"The Young Ones" was a key moment in British TV comedy, a moment when the new, young, alternative comedians finally found their own voice on their own show. And what a show, and what characters too. They are all clasic now, and the comedy itself is everything from surreal to outlandish to cartoonishly violent. Plus there's music as well. A must see series.
