Once you watch this you won't be able to see it enough or stop laughing at the stupid characters.
Set in London it is about 4 students living together while they are at University even though none of them ever attend and always moan about being bored!
Every episode is absolutely brilliant and will have you in stitches.
This boxset includes both series of The Young Ones each with 6 about 40 minute episodes on each dvd.

I used to love this series as a teenager. I see you've posted this under the special 25th anniversary edition DVD of the series, but you haven't mentioned what this consists of! There must be some new footage or actor commentary on this special edition you could tell your readers about?
