I came up with a theory that Vyvyan changed his name because he got sick of it being called a girl's name. And Rick changed his to Richie because he was sick of being called PRick. Eddie changed his surname from Basterd to Hitler because he wanted "a less problematic surname"...😂

I actually totally agree! Richie tried to be famous and failed so they moved into the house in Bottom and eventually admitted defeat so just kicked the s*** out of each other forever more 😂

These three are incapable of playing sane characters.

This came out a few years after The Young Ones. I was so so disappointed by this effort back in the day. Finally decided to give it another go, after allowing a few decades to brew. Three minutes in and I'm already pissing myself laughing, this is awesome!

Its like a younger version of Bottom sort of, even the same names.

I honestly think that this was so good. People weren’t ready for it. That game show scene is some other shit. I love it.

I think the underlying issue was the way it really p****d off Bruce Forsyth and especially Jimmy Tarbuck who, to this day is quite angry about it. The entire series was only ever shown once on the BBC. Fortunately I videoed them all. It followed The Young Ones which was too difficult to beat. Filthy, Rich & Catflap wasn’t that good but it’s worth a watch.

Ade Edmondson destroying the ENTIRE set right at the end might be the biggest mood

I was thinking the same, nigels character is the best one, I think he steals the show. Wasn't really a fan of his before.

This is without a shadow of doubt my favourite Comedy Duo of all time everything they done was successful and a great laugh to watch. Thank you for uploading this.

I watched this when it came out and thought it was genius straight away. It's a dull thing to say but me and three mates would go down the pub all weekend and quote this to each other. I can't look at Eddie Catflap without thinking of my old mate Kev, who had all the facial mannerisms down to a T. So much of it made it into our daily language. Don't get me wrong - Young Ones & Bottom are brilliant but this beats them hands down. I still have a great urge to walk through my front door, hurl a pint glass into the air and jump up to headbutt it as it falls to the ground. Maybe one day...

What you are looking at is the prototype for the series bottom.

Cuts included Richie singing "Where Is Love?", "Morning Has Broken", and "Consider Yourself"; and Eddie singing "Roxanne", "You've Got to Pick a Pocket or Two", and "Message in a Bottle". I’m sure everyone in The Light Entertainment Department of the BBC agrees with your communistic views of distributing the wealth. I would pay a pretty penny (a fiver) for an uncut version.
