I really love The Young Ones, I didn't have MTV when it was on (seemingly throughout the '80s and '90s) but my friends who did all were huge fans. When the show came out on VHS in the late '90s (and on DVD soon after), we watched every episode over and over. Truly classic comedy (with some great music to boot!).
His characters in Blackadder, Bottom, the Young Ones are all classic. One helluva comedian. It's a sad day. Oh, and of course Allan B'Stard. The name alone always had me in stitches.
Thread ahead: New DVD/Blu-ray/digital titles for the week of 6/10/2014 (230) Next thread: Fargo 1x9: A Fox, A Rabbit, and A Cabbage Previous thread: The Flash trailer.
