Bottom's Back!

"Reykjavík. Comma. Iceland. Full Stop."

Quick question. When was this on first? I remember really hating it when I was twelve or thirteen but am intruiged to know if that's real or some sort of implanted abuse denial episode.

PS What's next? Filthy, Rich and Catflap: the movie.

It was '90 or '91, I think.

It IS usually a bad idea to revive a programme after such a long period of time. Even with the original cast. How can they expect to perform so many slapstick routines? Are they going to find a pair of (unconvincing ) body doubles?

As good a time as any to post this little ditty.

Dammit! You beat me to it.

Here's hoping the fairer sex now appreciate my telling them they have a 'smashing blouse'

Bottom is one of my favorite comedy's of all time (also Blackadder/Red Dwarf/Fawlty towers).
It will be good to see them back on Telly; too much of today's comedy is bland. (in my humble opinion)

No Peep Show? It's hard to think of another British comedy that has lasted as long without experiencing a huge drop in quality.

I think Peep Show has been very up and down. For a while it got worse with every series, then improved quite dramatically with the most recent run.

[Charlie boy]

It's funny cos I remember watching series 5 or 6 maybe and thinking it was losing it at the time but then when I watched them again I was laughing throughout them. I'm just hoping the writers got all their rubbish out of them via Fresh Meat before they started working on the upcoming series.

I've watched quite a few episodes of peep show and some have been hysterically funny. There was one in particular about acid tabs and a broken toilet door. Absolutely hilarious!

I've still not quite got the hang of the 'quote' function. 

[bluemeanie]

Was a HUGE fan of Bottom when it was on. The movie was horrible though. Sat in the cinema kinda stunned how bad it was

Not convinced about them bringing it back but willing to give it a shot. Get the feeling its gonna be cameo-tastic tho as they get all their comedy mates to make appearances.

Think it'll work best if they go darker with it than previously. I mean Rik Mayalls character was also slightly creepy but now with a grubby old man angle to it...

[JamesC]

I used to love Bottom but I think its time has passed.
Ade Edmonson is now a friendly uncle who does some thing about cooking fish on Sundays.
Rik Mayall is a bloody good actor and I'd rather see him do something more along the lines of 'New Statesman'.

One of my favourite things ever was Rik Mayall reading 'George's Marvelous Medicine' on Jackanory.
