Bottom
Richard Richard & Edward Elizabeth Hitler, two men with no hope of fitting in with society. Two men who will forever fall foul of lifes little jokes, mainly because they are too stupid to avoid them! Adrian Edmondson and Rik Mayall take an anarchic look into the lives of these two friends who are forever threatening, and commiting, violence on each other. This series could be said to be a follow up, of a kind, to The Young Ones. Same stars and same attitude but the young ones are now heading into middle age. A succesful series that spawned three live tours [and three videos of these shows] and a big screen film, Guest House Paradiso. Although the film was not released as such it is advertised as a Bottom film on the video release.
Desperate to attract some ladies, Richie and Eddie buy experimental pheromone spray promised to make them irresistible.
Richie and Eddie are visited by a man from the Gas board. Afraid that their pipeline from next door is about to be rumbled they desperately try to cover their tracks. Murder, cannibalism and bus surfing are possible solutions.
Eddie comes home from a very bad day at work and Richie finds Eddie is not paying the rent and has only got £11.80 which he has spent on a adult magazine. But Richie finds Eddie has put on a bet on the Miss World contest on TV.
Richie receives an omen that he will be dead within a week, but surely it has to be a hoax? Richie isn't taking any chances, and Eddie has to play along.
Richie and Eddie are promised cash-in-hand to watch their landlord's shop for one afternoon, and battle disgruntled customers, robbers, and their own boredom.
It's Richie's birthday and he wants the most perfect day ever. Nothing is possibly going to get in his way, except for a lack of presents, a leg break, and the worlds worst game of hide and seek.
