Bottom Series One DVD only has the one special feature but it's funny as hell!!! The special feature called "Bonus Bottoms Fluffs" which is basically all there mistake over the series just watching this for 20 minutes has you in a giggling fit. I love this DVD and I would recommend this to anyone who likes a laugh.

Cast

Rik Mayall as Richard Richard
Ade Edmondson as Edward Elizabeth Hitler

Running time of approximately 173 minutes of pure fun, Regions 2 and 4 Pal. Certificate 15 although this DVD has more swearing than a high school playground!! hehe I love it.

One thing I thought was funny is when you look at the back of the cover it says

Theme/Other None

Language Some, Moderate (Buts the loads of swearing)

Sex/Nudity Some, Moderate

Violence None (When all they do is fight!)

I hope you liked reading my review of Bottom Series One
