Synopsis

The two sad, disgusting lonely no-hopers are still at each other's throats, holed up in their grubby flat. The six episodes comprising series two see Richie and Eddie looking for romance at the Love Bureau in "Digger"; becoming paid stooges in the police identity parade in "Parade"; they lose their telly in "Culture"; the magical "Holy" episode takes place at Christmas, when a baby is dumped on their doorstep Richie begins to realise why he'd always felt so different to all the other kids, is he really the second Virgin Mary


Not As Good As I Remembered
Review date: 2005-09-11 Rating: 6 out of 10

I found this extremely funny when it was first on TV and remember thinking it was upto the quality of The Young Ones. Watching them again, it's not as funny as I thought. The physical humour is excellent, no doubt about that, but the rest of the show when they are not beating each other up is not as strong.

There are some gems here though, the Christmas episode being a real standout and there is definately plenty of real laugh out loud moments. The problem is it's not really as clever as the Young Ones was and depends on it's violence to provide the majority of the gags.

Bottom 2: Revenge of the killer arse
Review date: 2005-09-07 Rating: 10 out of 10

Rik and Ade returned to the screens to save us all from the dry and middle class wit of many poor quality shows that were around at the time. They didnt let us down either. The characters of Eddie and Richie were slightly more defined, the violence was slightly more gratuitous and the foulness that they created wherever they went was slightly more foul.

A truly great series and a fantastic successor to the young ones.

Trying to review Bottom in a thoughtful, introspective way is like a blunt pencil shoved up Eddie Hitler's nose - pointless and painful. But I'll give it a try nonetheless.

This is the second of three series and as always Richie and Eddie are in fine form. Guest-starring are Helen Lederer (in best "I so hate poor peepill" Transylvanian countess mode, giving Michael Howard a run for his money with that accent!), Julia Sawalha and Robert Llewellyn trying to resist Richie's charms, as well as Christopher "Mike the Cool Person" Ryan making a return visit as Eddie's mate Dave Hedgehog. In other episodes Richie and Eddie go it alone, during an all-night game of chess and a camping trip to Wimbledon Common; the line "I wonder how much meat you get on a womble" almost beating the quip about "vodka margarine" which is rolled out on cue at our family Christmases ever since the first airing of the show.

The only downside is the special extended version of Holy - not that it's not a great episode, but the scene with Richie's self-portrait was (deservedly) cut from the original broadcast, yet it is inserted into the main episode here *and* the Bottom Fluffs extra, which was unnecessary. However the star I would have taken off for this goes back on because the BF on this DVD is much longer than the one on the first series.

The ultimate Rib-Tickler!

Bottom is one of the funniest comedies ever to hit British TV screens. Rik Mayall and Ade Edmonson star as the two desperate, low life men who want only one thing - Women!

Eddie and Richie live in a downtrodden house constantly conjuring up new ways to get rich and famous and get lots of birds. Every minute is as funny as the last and Bottom series two is a sure fire hit when it comes to making you burst out laughing at the ridiculous things that the two men get up to such as chopping off finngers and sellotaping burglars to the roof!

There is no 'if you like comedies' etc, just make sure that you buy Bottom as it is arguably, the most ridiculously funny comedy of all time and a MUST own DVD for anyones collection.
