product details & reviews

This British comedy series is an irreverent look at youth that gained a huge cult following in England and abroad. Rik Mayall's inspired comic invention benefits from surreal, unusual writing and hilarious, spontaneous performances. This collections contains every episode of the beloved program which ran on the BBC from 1982-1984. Contains music by bands of the era such as Madness and Motorhead as well as excellent guest performances from then-unknown comediennes Jennifer Saunders and Emma Thompson.

Oct 2007

A mad, helter-skelter, rude, awesomely violent, unpredictable, swaggering, staggering, joyously infantile, exhilarating steamroller of a sitcom, The Young Ones provided the breakthrough for the new generation of aggressive and forthright 'alternative' comedians.

Join Rik, Vyv, Neil and Mike in their crazy and surreal comedy adventures!

the best so far... but not enough extras!

10 July, 2008

Again another series that has been previously available singularly, 80s anarchic sit com “The Young Ones’ benefits from the same ‘complete’ three disc box set release as had been seen with “Fawlty Towers”. Although you have the same gatefold packaging inside the slip case the content, for me at least, falls short of its 70s sit com predecessor. Just two commentaries are offered, disc one has the Season One opener “Demolition” and disc two has Season Two’s final story “Summer Holiday” with directors Paul Jackson and Geoff Postner offering their thoughts. Flicking over to the third ‘bonus features’ disc and the contents of ‘Alternative Rebellion’, ‘The Making of…’ and ‘The Guest Stars of…’ weighs in at a fairly meagre seventy-four minutes. However despite that I for one still believe this is an excellent complete package of a classic, rather unique (anarchic humour matched with surprise music provided by some of the most popular acts of the time (e.g. Madness (twice) and Dexys Midnight Runners) BBC sit com that’s certainly well worth adding to your collection.
