Anyone else a fan of the classic BBC comedy starring Rik Mayall and Ade Edmondson?

Always wanted to see it live on tour, but they stopped a few years ago.

I was when it was originally on. May have to get the DVDs and see how it stands up across time.

They are showing episodes on Gold at night.

I've got the DVD's of all 3 seasons; have to admit, I still find it hilarious! Same with Fawlty Towers.

I've been slowly making my way through them, and just re-watching the pilot episode reminded me why I loved it. It got better, and the Tours were brilliantly thought out.

I'm kind of hoping that Lets Dance for Sports Relief isn't the last we see of them!

I read an interview with Ade Edmondson recently where they asked him if they'd ever do anymore.

He said that they'd always said no because Rik didn't want to.. but recently Rik had changed his mind and was mulling over an idea of them both being in an old folks home.

EDIT:

Found it on Wikipedia too

In September 2011, Edmondson appeared on the Sunday morning cooking show Something For The Weekend and confirmed to presenter Tim Lovejoy that he and Rik Mayall were planning to reunite and make another series of Bottom, set in an old people's home. However no specific dates were stated regarding the project.

They also wrote a fourth series in the 90's but it was never picked up.

I just remember Eddie doing VERY poor (and very funny) drag....That's how i would look if i ever dragged up. Which i won't.
