Nigel Planer (Neil) I was doing a show with Peter Richardson from which Neil comes. It was where Neil was launched. We were a double act and we met Rik, Ade and Alexei in the Comedy Store. That was when the gang formed.

Mayer More or less every other week, there was a visit to A&E. We had these crazy, inventive special effects guys who had a whole department in North Acton. We’d say: “Can we have a sofa that turns into a coffin”, or whatever. “A giant eclair that falls from the ceiling?” And they’d make them. In fact, that whole "Bambi" episode is an absolute classic and this is worth buying purely for that alone.

Babakazoo There were two DVD sets, the initial "Every Stoopid Episode" release and the "Extra Stoopid Edition," and incredibly each set had DIFFERENT cuts. It's been a while, but IIRC I think one could have edited a complete uncut version together from the two sources if they wished.

They're saying it's completely uncut. And the suggestion is also that the flash frames that were cut for original broadcast will be in the extras. Andi Oliver (Rip Rig & Panic) I was about 19. When I see it I look like a small child. I think Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders were on that episode because I just remember them being hilariously funny. Gareth Sager [Rip Rig & Panic frontman] decided that we weren’t going to have proper instruments so they were playing washing-up liquid bottles and stuff. There was a lot of alcohol involved. Years later, I saw Lise Mayer and she was like: “God, you guys were wild!” The album includes the single Hole In My Shoe, a cover of the Traffic song, which impressively stayed at Number 2 in the UK chart for 3 weeks (sandwiched between Two Tribes and Relax by Frankie Goes To Hollywood at Numbers 1 & 3 respectively). Neil promoted the song and the album during his enjoyable appearances on Top Of The Pops and Saturday Superstore in the UK, and Countdown in Australia. It also won Best Comedy Record at the BRITS in 1985, with Billy Connolly making the presentation to Nigel Planer. Well, that's why I'd want two versions. One uncut, one with the more problematic material excised. But I mean, this isn't a thought-out proposal I'm making here. I just think some of the series uses language that you would never, ever get in a comedy programme in 2022. There’s nothing wrong with that per se, it’s a product of its time and in terms of the racist policeman skit, it’s done for a reason. I wouldn’t advocate cutting Blazing Saddles for the same reasons, but I wouldn’t show it to my kids either. That’s a bit of a shame, because I really loved the Young Ones when I was a kid. I don’t think it’s worth the risk that they would go off and use some of the unacceptable language in the playground.

Extensive photo gallery featuring the original music score and unpublished images from the production team The Young Ones has a little bit in common with Fawlty Towers, in the sense that it only had 12 episodes, yet it still had a massive impact and is remembered as one of the all-time classics. But that’s where any similarities end. It’s safe to say it was completely unlike anything that had been on TV before, propelling its stars and the genre of alternative comedy into the mainstream. Sure, there had been some crazy comedy shows prior to it, which no doubt had some degree of influence upon its creators, but this really pushed the boundaries and took things to another level. Plot: What’s it about? Video: How does it look? Audio: How does it sound? Supplements: What are the extras? Plot: What’s it about?I watched them all again fairly recently and thought they’d gotten a bit naff so kinda wish I hadn’t. Mayer It’s sort of a family. A dysfunctional family. We were all still so near to being students. We’d just left so we were still imbued with the memory of living like that. This was not and never will be LucasFilms, but this is part of the mystique. The episodes were filmed in the early eighties and appear as such. The opening sequence has a strangely grainy texture in the digital format. The age of the film has brought about a slight paleness and iffy clarity but these characteristics merely reinforce one of the main philosophies of the show: No matter how progressed we think we are, there is still a ways to go. The Young Ones: Every Stoopid Episode is presented in same full-screen format as the original television show and appears much the same as my memory serves me. In any case, the video presentation is much better than the fuzzy VCR recordings I resorted to watching in college. Audio: How does it sound?
