- Synopsis:
There was Mike (Christopher Ryan), the suave, sensible one; Vyvyan (Adrian Edmondson), the psychotic punk-metal mohican; Neil (Nigel Planer), the lentil loving hippy and Rick (Rik Mayall), right-on anarchist revolutionary and Cliff Richard fan: four students - desperate for money, excitement, girls or just something to help fill the day - sharing a house. From this simple set up came an amazing speedball of comic caricature, slapstick, infantile humour, animation, musical performances, rants, violence, abuse and surreal jokes - leaving an impression as jaw-dropping as finding one of Vyvyan's steel-capped boots through our television screens. 'The Young Ones' brought the irreverence, anarchy and energy of the new alternative comedy movement to situation comedy - and it would never be the same again. - Actors:
