Advantages: Still extremely funny
Disadvantages: Little in the way of extras

...quotable lines. For me, Bottom was always superior to the Young Ones - whilst very funny in parts, the Young Ones was a little too weird in places, and the pointless musical interludes spoilt it - thankfully in Bottom some prat like Jools Holland never pops up and belts out a number... Apparently a fourth season was written but turned down by the BBC - by then a Politically Correct organisation run by the Labour Party - a disgraceful decision but ...
...a black lesbian disabled character it would have got made... 'Hole' - Richie and Eddie get stranded on the ferris wheel at the local funfair - things could be worse... or could they, the wheel is due to be demolished next morning! 'Terror' - It's Halloween, so the lads hit upon the genius idea to go trick or treating to raise money for a big Halloween party... 'Break' - Richie and Eddie are preparing for their holiday in erm... sunny Doncaster. ... Read review

Advantages: Still extremely funny
Disadvantages: Little in the way of extras

The first six 'revolting' episodes of the scraps and scrapes of Richard Richard (Rik Mayall) and Edward Hitler (Ade Edmondson), two of the saddest experimental life-forms known to man. For me possibly the greatest sitcom ever, it was great to finally start my collection on DVD and throw away those dodgy old VHS recordings! Not much in the way of extras sadly, a few (very funny) out-takes and thats about it. Fans of 'Bottom' will know exactly what ...
...comic violence, masturbation jokes, it's all here. For those not yet familiar with the escapades of Richie and Eddie, if you are expecting modern, sophisticated 'comedy', probably best to look elsewhere. If your looking for a bloody good laugh though, very highly recommended! 'Smells' - The duo invest in some pheremone sex spray and hit the local pub to pick up some 'cracking birds'! 'Gas' - Eddie has been stealing next door's gas supply, and the ... Read review

Advantages: Funny
Disadvantages: Not suitable for anyone under 18!

Bottom is a great comedy show that you can watch over and over again and you never get tired of it! This boxset is perfect for any fan of Rik Mayall and Ade Edmondson as it is two great shows in one. If you've seen any other of their dvds then this will also live up to its high standards - obviously mindless violence, disgusting language and rude jokes - who woudn't love it!!!!!! Hooligans Island is set on an island and only Richie and Eddie are ... Read review

...then i do recomend that you spend a bit more money and buy The Big Bottom Box set. These are all of the bottom live shows and the movie, persionaly i would say that it is worth the money because you will have hours of laughter out of these DVD's ... Read review

Advantages: Just as funny as the first series
Disadvantages: Little in the way of extras

Second series of in my opinion the funniest television show ever made. Once again the only extras are the 'fluffs' out-takes but it's difficult to see what else they could have put on there. One interesting fact concerns the episode 'S Out which was due to be broadcast on 5th November 1992. However, a real-life murder on Wimbledon Common (where the episode is supposed to be set) shortly before transmission meant that the episode was pulled, and was ...
...and Eddie join a dating agency looking to meet the women of their dreams - as long as she has a 'wazzo pair of jugs'! 'Parade' - The lads take part in an identity parade to make a few quid and then receive a red-hot tip from the local bookmaker - surely too good be true? Yep! 'Burglary' - When the lads catch a burglar in the flat they face a dilemma - hand him over to the police or kill him, sell his loot and scarper to the Bahamas? 'Culture' ... Read review
