Anybody remember Bottom the tv series? I’m talking about the hilarious classic British sitcom that was around in the 90s

Any Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson will surely agree that this is their best work to date. I think Adrian Edmondson wrote most of the material, if I’m not mistaking.

Bottom is the story of 2 flatmates living in squalor in a decaying flat in London. Their adventures are hilarious! Their relationship is violent and loaded with sexual undertones, and the situations they find themselves in are extremely funny.

One of my favourite episodes is The Gas man, where Ritchie and Eddie (the characters) are visited by a gas inspector for a meter reading. Ritchie and Eddie immediately panic because they have been stealing next door’s gas supply for months, and try everything to dissuade the gas inspector from entering their home. When this fails, they attack the gas inspector who is knocked unconscious. Believing they have killed him, Ritchie and Eddie are thrown into a frenzy of panic where they try and come up with ways to get rid of the body, from wrapping it up in a rug to trying to throw it out of the window on to a London bus.

Although Bottom the series hasn’t been around for a while you can pick up Bottom dvds and videos from ebay for a song and a dance!
