About this show

This cult British sitcom, created by and starring comedy double-act Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson, follows the madcap adventures of two repulsive, slobbish flatmates living in West London. By turns revolting, vicious and arrogant, the pair spend their lives avoiding work and instead live in filth, devising hair-brained moneymaking schemes and deluded plans to snare beautiful women. Their dodgy deals, scrapes with the law and violent slapstick make for a deliberately juvenile, strangely refreshing, award-winning sitcom, where anything can happen.

One of the best shows made with wonderful team to produce classic British comedy. A sad loss to the industry Rik, far too soon gone but obviously called away for cheeky antics of a higher nature!;) Will always watch and love this and their other works. Norwich! :p (only true fans will get that) xx

I think this has to be one of the best British sitcoms ever to be broadcasted. It's one of those shows that you can return to watch and still find it Laugh out Loud funny..If you liked the Dangerous Brothers seriously check out every Season of Bottom!! R.I.P RiK a a real British comedy Genius!!..: (
