Bottom at 30: A rude, crude and deplorable sitcom - that's why it was the best

was uproariously funny. Littered with double entendres and fight scenes that made you shriek with laughter or wince; either way, your eyes watered.since it first exploded onto BBC Two on 17th September 1991 and it’s still shown today on some channels which is testament to its longevity.

For any deprived reader who hasn’t been depraved by Bottom, the sitcom revolves around an outrageously obscene, pathetic and cartoonish pair of losers named Richard Richard and Edward Hitler .with the anarchic 80s student sitcom, The Young Ones, legends Rik and Ade created two utterly deplorable men in their thirties – trapped together at the ‘bottom’ of life’s skid-mark stained heap. Bottom’s title itself is of course innuendo, and the show’s toilet humour appeals to the child inside us all.

What’s so great about it, you ask? In sitcom-land, Richie and Eddie are the ultimate ‘odd couple’ with a love-hate-hate-hate relationship. They share a will to survive despite the pointlessness of their existence. The programme’s ‘message’? Laugh. It’s all we humans have left. And the telly.Without context, Richie and Eddie’s escapades may well induce revulsion – they repeatedly prove themselves to be the lowest of the low with their dastardly antics.

Essentially trapped in adolescence, sad lonely virgin Richie desperately wants to ‘have it off’ but neither have any luck with women because they are openly perverted, wantonly sexist and, in Eddie’s case, often blind drunk. Some may feel appalled by the mere description but all the more reason, I say, to put on an episode and laugh in spite of yourself.

Great show. Miss them both dearly. RIP 🙏❤️
