#movieandtvchallenge A TV-Show You Can Finish In A Day: #theyoungones It's only two seasons & they both have only six episodes you can easily binge watch in a day. I know this only got two seasons because the writers couldn't come up with anymore stories, but I think they should have tried for one-two more seasons at least! It died off too quickly! They actually made a pilot for an American remake of The Young Ones called "Oh, No! Not THEM!" Apparently it was so awful that it never actually aired on TV & a copy of it was never found for years until 2025 when Nigel Planer (who played Neil in the original & the remake) released his digitized VHS copy of it on his Patreon page. Jackie Earle Haley (Watchmen & the crappy remake of Nightmare on Elm Street) played the Vyvyan character in it. #britishsitcom #varietyshow #undergraduatestudents #adrianedmondson #vyvyanbasterd #punk #rikmayall #anarchist #nigelplaner #neilpye #hippie #christopherryan #mikethecoolperson #alexeisayle #jerzeibalowski #landlord #motorhead #lemmykilmister #ripphilcampbell #punkhamster #blowupdoll #decapitatedhead #multiplearms

Robin Ince, Nigel Planer, Ben Elton sat together on stage discussing Rik Mayall, with the yellow Slapstick event poster in the background - Rik! The Anarchic Genius of Rik Mayall.

It's been 11 years since we lost creative genius Rik Mayall all too soon.

A pioneer of alternative comedy, we still feel honoured to have paid tribute at Slapstick Festival 2025 with #BenElton and #NigelPlaner, hosted by @robinince.bsky.social.
