Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson were the British Odd Couple in Bottom but with a lot more booze, grime and violence.

A lot of people remember them from The Young Ones which is great but their best work was in Bottom imo.

That Bottom comedy series still holds up well today, the Young Ones as groundbreaking as it may have been back in the early 80s, looks dated.

The best music and comedy doesn't date, Monty Python is as sharp and relevent today as they were in 1971.

Bottom was filmed in the 90s but you couldn't pinpoint that series to a time like you could with the Young Ones in the 80s. Richie and Eddie just wore drab overcoats and clothes in a dull drab apartment, it was just about the comedy and chemistry between them and it's brilliant, a UK comedy classic up there with Benny Hill and The Two Ronnies.
