Shouldn't you be in the House of Commons re-introducing hanging?
And whatever happened to Piers Fletcher-Dervish anyway?

I think we should stop all the debate on this forum and start trying to figure out how we're going to provide for Vivyan's baby.
One of us has to get a job.
Damn, for some reason I always identified with Nigel even though I am by no means a hippie. Guess that means I'll have to koin the establishment and become a fascist to provide for Vivian's baby.

I have them all on DVD - for a long time, all I had were VHS recordings of the shows I made from a late-night run on Canada's (ultra-crapola) YTV channel. They cut out huge amounts of stuff from the show... it wasn't 'til I got the episodes on video that I could see them unedited 'for content'.
(Well, YTV is 'Youth' TV, and when they bought a block of programming from the BBC, "The Young Ones" and "Bottom" were included - and they honestly didn't know what to do with either series. So, they stuck 'em to the end of their daily programming schedule, sliced as much as ten minutes out of each show, and let it ride. Silly TV execs.)

Is that the same Ben Elton who wrote the Queen musical?
Wouldn't mind getting ahold of some episodes of Red Dwarf, either.

yeah, if he did in fact write the young ones, it's the same one who wrote the queen musical. also black adder and a series of hysterical novels. he's a funny funny man.

I think my favourite bit was when Neil, caught with a joint by a knock at the door during a house pary, flips it inside his mouth to hide it while answering the knock (which turns to not be the pigs after all, just door-crashers) - and after a time, smoke comes billowing out every orifice his head has to offer. Returning from the door, he's offered a bong hit that literally sends him to the Moon...

"Nasty" was a classic episode. One part I liked was when Sayle was trapped in the bathroom and went into the Sellout Monologue.
