Gold looks back at the short-lived but highly influential alternative comedy sitcom.
There were only 12 episodes of the show which followed the loathsome students of Scumbag College, but the bizarre adventures of Rick (Rik Mayall), Vyvyan (Adrian Edmondson), Neil (Nigel Planer) and Mike (Christopher Ryan) were must-see viewing for a whole generation, that tore down sitcom conventions – and in one case the titles to another much loved sitcom.
Although we now without Mayall, the rest of the cast are here to look back on making the show.
How The Young Ones Changed Comedy is on Gold at 21.30.
