IN between The Young ONes and Bottom, there was a thing called Filthy, Rich and Catflap which was quite good. It starred three of them (Rik Mayall, Adrian Edmondson and Nigel Planer).

I was a big fan of the Comic Strip and related stuff, but I never saw Filthy, Rich & Catflap.

and what was the name of dr martens boots? he was supposed to be the nephew of the landlord or something.

Alexei Yuri Gagarin Siege of Stalingrad Glorious Five-Year Plan Sputnik Tractor Moscow Dynamo Back Four Belowski.

I was obsessed with The Young ONes for much of my teenage life.

The song was an Alexei Sayle stage thing, and appeared on an LP called (I think) 'Cak'. I don't have that but I do have the 12" of 'Ullo John! Gotta New Motor', the b-side of which (version four) is the sweariest thing ever recorded, possibly.

I also have the 7" picture disc of 'Neil' singing 'Hole in My Shoe' (b-side 'Hurdy Gurdy Mushroom Man'). And thw The Young oNes book.

ah ha ha haha ha. alexei etc etc--

you wouldn't happen to know the lyrics of the song, would you??

ahem

It's not class or ideology, colour, creed, or roots;
The only thing that unites us is Doctor Marten's boots

Oh

Doctor Marten's boots of the world so that everybody could be free
They're classless, matchless, heat resistant, waterproof and retail for only 19 pounds and 99 pee

Pretty soon everyone will be wearing those boots with the air-flow soles;
And your boots will have a meeting and your boots will take control

Thanks to Doctor Marten everybody will have two warm feet; thanks to Doctor Marten they'll be dancing in the street

No - don't you want me.

OK, Boots; do your stuff...

Doctor. Marten's, Doctor Marten's, Doctor Marten's boots!
Doctor. Marten's, Doctor Marten's, Doctor Marten's boots!
Doctor. Marten's, Doctor Marten's, Doctor Marten's boots!

^^^ ahhahhaha ha ha hahahahaha haha ha ha!!!

thank you. repped.

I wasn't lying.

I was planning on buying that, but never got round to it. I think that's the only Rik Mayall/Adrian Edmondson related series i havent yet seen.

i just keep thinking back to when rik tries to kill himself with laxatives and when vyvian kicks his own head down the train track. motorhead where amazing on this as well.

Rik Mayall.

I voted Rik, because he always makes me laugh but my heart belongs to:

I have to admit that when we bought it I thought it might prove to be less funny than we remembered. But it's very good (I don't think the first episode is as good as the others for some reason - personal taste, probably).

Nigel Planer ('Neil' in The Young ONes is astoundingly good as Richie's seedy agent.

HEY !@$%!, look at this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVIrcaet1Jw

Hip Priest - Have you watched any more Comic Strip episodes lately? I used to think a lot of the episodes were a bit crap, but after watching them a number of time's, they started to grow on me. I watched the two 'Four Men In a Car/Plane' episode's earlier on, havent laughed so hard in ages.

The 'four men' are amongst the best, definitely.

My favourite was always 'A Fistful of Traveller's Cheques'.

We haven't resumed yet, no. I can remember most of them though because I've watched them whenever they've been on TV in the past.

vyvyan was hilarious, that show really was brilliant
