Our Lamb & Flag pub menu tea towel was a hit with Dick Head... At least we think he said hit 😉
We have a few available to buy. If you'd like one, drop us a DM for cost ( postage). No, we can't stick it on the slate!
Thanks to @scr33nag3r for the design. Faaaantastiiic work!

What begins with people being bored and ends with them crashing a bus over a cliff and going up in a fireball, having just robbed a bank? The final episode of The Young Ones, of course! Our deep dive into, here: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcas…

No, Gloria Hunniford, Bottom is not a “step backwards” after The New Statesman. You really should be on Channel 4!

We’ve reached the end of The Young Ones and chat about the infamous bus crash ending - wondering if it’s possible to make the scene sad - so Mat came up with this edit that borrows from the end of Blackadder. What do you think? Is it sad now? podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcas…

No! No way! We’re not watching the bloody Good Life! Bloody bloody bloody! Vyvyan tears down the old guard of comedy in “Sick” - apparently this genuinely upset Richard Briars! Our discussion here: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcas…

Rather a bumper crop of prizes that we gave out at our pub quiz at The Rik Mayall Comedy Festival. Our costume winner won a pair of Richie-themed pants while 1 lucky team won a book bundle comprised of the autobiographies of The Young Ones cast. Mike’s book is full of surprises!

Our #TheYoungOnes series 2 #podcast continues! This week it's episode 4 'Time'. After a Dallas-style opening, the boys wake hungover to discover they've travelled back in time. Even more unbelievably... Rik seems to have "done it" with a girl!
