My mate and I are both massive fans of both series and have worked together for the last 30 years and on a weekly basis we are able to use at least one of the lines from The Young Ones as part of the day to day conversation. Normally in response to something someone says. It’s puerile and most of the time no one has a fucking clue what we’re on about but it keeps us amused. “Hands up who likes me?” Is a particular favourite of ours

As other posters have already said, comedy television will never again be this good anywhere, ever. So watch it, drink it in, learn from it and be inspired.

I've seen this episode 100 times, and have even known the joke behind the nickname Yellow Pages is because the old slogan was "let your fingers do the walking" for a couple years now, and it's only JUST NOW that I noticed that when he goes to explain it to Mike Vyv even mimes the fingers walking gag to him with his hand.

It only seems like yesterday I was watching this series as a uni student back in 1982. Honestly, the memory is so clear to me watching this in a shared house with other students. That was 39 years ago. Jesus Christ, where have the years gone?

Yes, that's the spirit

I always loved seeing how much damage Rick was willing to sustain for each episode. He not only took the major hits, but also did the experimental explosions and falls.

Nigel was the one who complained of a stiff neck after the eclair fell on his head.

He had a HUGE crush on Samantha Fox. Can't say I blame him😉

The best episode of one of the greatest comedies of all time. This show IS the 80's... Absolute classic!

Neal eating the sludgie bits, where does that thought process develop? Sheer genius...

Watched the Young Ones since it was new on telly. All episodes are hilarious. This one is my favourite . 😆

"Vyvyan if you can't keep control of your socks you shan't be allowed to have any" how can anyone say that with a straight face?

All episodes of the Young Ones are brilliant but I'm sure this is the funniest with the best quotable lines.

This is excellent from the young ones I have this on DVDS

I'd be giving executive relief to woodland creatures to this day!

ohh... floppy disks

By far and away my fave episode. I remember when it first aired. I was so excited to see Motorhead. Now, years later, I see Coltrane, Robinson, Laurie. Fry......... I am complete. Well done Ben Elton and Alexeii Sayle for the best episode ever

Didn't have 50p for washing but 50p for photos. Lol. They were still 50p in 1989 to 1992 when I was at college. And how could they afford the train tickets. Lol. Great series.

When the water hits Rik in the face at 12.14. Man, that must've hurt!!

As a spotty teenager, my best friend and I were massive fans of THE YOUNG ONES. I'm slightly embarrassed at the recollection, but we did a homage to the Bristol locations seen in this episode and took photos on our crappy little camera (no mobile phones in 1985). Codrington Road (their home address), the laundrette and finally Temple Meads Station were all on our itinerary that day. Oh to be that enthusiastic about anything in middle age!

A masterclass of British comedy!

Okay, Steven Fry, in this episode, just play yourself.
