I saw them at Leicester Poly way back when. Pretty good live as well. Ade had a great pair of lungs on him and could play a mean guitar too. I found the ticket a couple of months ago

[RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE]

I remember donington. Can't remember if they were much cop then . Apparently , Judas Priest were gonna play that slot.

More Bad News, best comic strip ever , closely followed by Mr Jolly.

Are we metal ?

[visog]

Hmmm... it's not that good I'm afraid...

Hasn't aged well but by contrast ST has matured nicely... Wry, subtle and clever.

Horses for course I guess but the Wogan thing was just embarrassing.

I think for me, Ade Edmonson hasn't ever been funny outside of the Young Ones.

[bonzodog]

Thought bad news was very funny.
Also liked dirty movie and the famous five send ups from the comic strip

I'll disagree as the first two series of Bottom are legendary. I think Eddie hitter is a better character than Vivian!

I used to be borderline obsessed with bad news.
Well written, and really funny.
The thing to remember is that bad news came before spinal tap (another fundamentally superb observational piece!)

Bottom, for me, is the quintessential physical comedy show, and is the logical conclusion of the ideas put in motion in the young ones.
I love Rik and Ade's comedy, so regularly enjoy these and more

Hear Hear!! I can remember being 16 and watching that first series - it was all me and my mates talked about in school...

[dave_bass5]

I saw them at the Marquee when it was in Charing Cross road. Great gig for all the wrong reasons. IIR the moment Rik came out he got a (plastic) pint glass right in the face. Even Brian May made an appearance.

[dudewheresmybass]

Maybe we should plug the guitars in and play them?

As a finished article this is true, but the origins of ST go further back to a series of short sketches.
