"The Young Ones" was one of those shows that the first time you saw it you thought WTF.
From there you either grew to love it or hate it.
I loved it.
Rik Mayall was a big part of the show's fun for me.
He passed away over-night

RIP
Might have to get the ABC to give the Young Ones a re-run now in his honour.
I've had the dvds for years. Will certainly be getting another run soon.
I can't believe the amount of people who refer to the young ones. There was only ever 2 seasons, and 12 episodes total!
Shows how good/unusual it was as people still remember it 30+ years on.
Very sad. I loved The Young Ones. Rick Mayall was genius!
Good entertainer. RIP and will be missed.
RIP Rik....
Life would not have been the same without him.
He is a very very very bloody funny bastard.
