40th anniversary of The Young Ones

The 40th anniversary Blu-ray will be my christmas present to myself this year. (Released on the 28th November...)

When i was a kid i borrowed my mates "recorded off the telly" VHS (Yes, i had a video...) . i watched at least 1 episode a day for 2 years. I'm surprised it still worked when i gave him it back!
 
The episode with a bomb in the kitchen is indelibly etched in my memory

I was never really into the Young Ones but I remember first watching this episode with my dad as a teenager and been in stitches all the way through. Thanks for this. Going to see if I can find it on YouTube or iPlayer this evening and give it another watch after work. It's comedy genius.

Oooh didn’t know that… thanks just bought it.

Btw have you read the book it’s hilarious
 
Had a flatshare like that, and a landlord who was uncannily like the one played by Alexei Sayle. Big Cypriot guy called 'Mr Theo'. Same hat, same coat, same 'hello boys..'.
 
Did he ever say:
"Hello, everybody! Hello, Anton, my little Thunderbird Puppet!
'Thunderbirds are Go', yes? "Come on let's twist again, like we did last summer! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Let's twist again..." Like we didn't do in Nicosia because I've never been there of course, you know. I am English person! Hi, I am Theo, yeah! Crazy wacky landlord. You know, I like very much your English punk rock stars. You know, your Lulu! Your Dave Clark Five! Oh yes! I think they are F-A-B! That's English for 'stupid', yeah! Okay! Fantastic! Hey, Anton. Look! Here, I have some Coca-Cola here, yes? We have party, yes? Okay, let's dance! Let's do the 'fog', yes? You know, I am liking very much your Harold MacMillan. Thanks to him, I am never having it, yes!"
 
Btw if anyone fancies the book I’ve just checked and there’s one copy left on Amazon for about £2
