The Young Ones (1982)
A great series following the lives of four students who share a flat. There's Rik, the self proclaimed 'People's Poet' and Cliff Richard fan, Vyvyan the nut-case who owns a Frod Anglia with flames up the side, Mike the cool person and Neil the hippy.

The Young Ones was proclaimed as a variety show as opposed to a sitcom as it contained sketches within it and also had music acts in each episode.

The program was very popular and the four leading actors (Mayall, Edmondson, Ryan and Planer) have all worked together since. A little after The Young Ones finished the 'Even Younger Ones' appeared on C4 with the same cast but different characters. Also was the comic strip- with such timeless classics as Bad News, Miners Strike and Supergrass also the later Four Men in a Car and Four Men in a Plane.
