Trivia
Adrian Edmondson and Rik Mayall originally planned to call the series 'Your Bottom' - so that viewers would be heard to say such things as, "I saw Your Bottom on television last night".

Goofs
The status of duo's tenancy in the flat changes from one episode to the next. In some, it is Richie who charges Eddie rent to live with him, but in others, the flat is owned by Mr. Harrison who runs the downstairs shop.

Quotes
Eddie: This is a sex shop isn't it?
Shop Assistant: Yes.
Eddie: [slaps money down] I'll have five quid's worth then!
Shop Assistant: Very droll sir, I've never heard that one before.
Eddie: Haven't you? Shall I tell it again?
Shop Assistant: No thank you sir, I'd rather have a pineapple inserted violently into my rectum.
Eddie: You've been working here too long mate.

Crazy credits
During the closing credits of the Series 3 opening show 'Hole' Eddie is heard shouting "Woo Hoo!" and Richie is heard screaming which confirms Richie and Eddie both survived falling from the Ferris wheel.

Crude, dirty, juvenile slapstick. Hurrah!

'Bottom' is one of those programmes whereby you know what it will be like before you watch it. If you like crude, dirty, juvenile slapstick then watch and enjoy. If you don't, then don't.

Edmundson and Mayall have been long famous for this type of comedy, so to watch it then complain about, it is rather like buying the Beano then moaning about it being childish.

Both are clever men and capable of doing more cerebral stuff than this. They just don't want to.

Long may this continue.
