If you liked The Young Ones then you'll love this, as it's the same kind of anarchist humour. Three of the characters in The Young Ones are now trying to cope in later life. Rich (Rik Mayall) is a would-be movie star/celebrity whose attempts to win fame and fortune always seem to end in disaster. That's hardly surprising considering his drunken useless agent Filthy (Nigel Planer) and his bodyguard Catflap (Adrian Edmondson) whose responce to any situation is instant violence. Ben Elton (assisted by Mayall) is at his writing best here. Every episode has a well-written storyline and never a dull moment, not to mention a host of recognisable supporting stars and sends-ups of various TV shows.
