hey does anyone else know of this show??? i love it!!! ive got both series on dvd!!!!

Now I wonder what could've made you start this topic? ;) hehe.

I love it, and have both the series as well, was nice to see some of the episodes they don't show on telly much :) It's just brill.

"Neil; why do you keep coming in here shouting 'suprise!'?"
"Well it's my birthday"
"Now you knew that, and we don't care, so where's the surprise?"

:D

I Loooooooooooove The Young Ones!!!

Not watched it in years!! Suddenly have an urge to go and buy the DVD!!!!

i love this bit

Rich: Why doesnt anyone ever listen to a word i say??
Vivien: Cos youre very boring!

:lol: it still makes me laugh!

I love this show! Especially the University Challenge one, where Vivien kickis through to the other team, because when I was little I actually did think the desks were above each other. :lol:

So did I, SF :) so did I.

Neil & Vyvyan were my favourite characters. I am a hippy with a temper, so they fit my personality quite well :) I am also a mix of both Pheobe and Chandler, it's scary. This is one of my favourite quotes from the Young Ones:

Neil: I sat in the big hall and put my packet of Polos on the desk. And my spare pencil and my support gonk. And my chewing gum and my extra pen. And my extra Polos and my lucky gonk. And my pencil sharpener shaped like a cream cracker. And more gonks with a packet of Polos in each. And lead for my retractable pencil. And my retractable pencil. And spare lead for my retractable pencil. And chewing gum and pencils and pens and more gonks, and the guy says "Stop writing, please".

:lol: I liked Rik and Vivian best, Neil got on my nerves. I've always liked Rik Mayall. b

Ahh I suppose if you're not used to Hippies, the way he talks and, well, his general ethos on life (ie. everybody hates him and he has to do everything) could be quite annoying.

Ah well :) each to their own, at least we agree on Vyvyan, hehe.

Yeah, I think it was his voice. I just remember thinking it was funny when they were mean to him. :lol: Hehe.
And yep, Vyvyan is great. I've decided to spell it like you do, because I don't know and you're probably right. :)

:roflmao i LOVED that bit!!!

"CLIFF!"

Oh, The Young Ones!! :worship2 :worship2 :worship2 I love it! It's one of my favourite series ever. Vyvyan (You do spell it like that :) ) is my fave character. His voice is brill!

Neil was my favorite. I haven't seen this for years, well apart from the odd clip on TV.

I adore the young ones!!!

"Mum this is my friend Mike, This is Neil, and this is a absolute bastard I know called Rik!"

I heart it muchfully!!

It was a great show :D

"I won't say anything 'cos no one listens to me anyway. I might as well be a Leonard Cohen record" - Neil.

hee hee I love the utter randomness of the show - like vyvyen randomly knockig through walls, or buddy holly just popping up.

I also loved the way tehy managed to get a band play for each show.

There's a reason for that; if they summarised their show as 'topical entertainment' or something, they got a bigger budget :) and that's why they had to have the band playing each episode.

hee hee they had madness :D :D :D I heart madness.

Madness are great :) They played on The Young Ones twice, hehe. Oh, and it's another show that was filmed in Bristol, so it's cool when you recognise places.

twice? hmm I didn't know that.

They seem to film a lot of programmes in bristol, I wonder why that is.

Have I gone mad or did Adam Ant play on there?

I don't know about that, not sure. It's another show that could've and should've run for longer. Ah well.

hmm it might have been me imaging it I dunno. And yes it definately should have - they have a habit of cutting shows off too soon!
