The series was absolutely hilarious, and so were the first three live shows (Number four and five took place after Rik Mayall recovered from nearly killing himself on a quad bike and had lost some of their spark, although there are still moments of genius). Number three is hilariously funny and most notable for the two of them being upstaged by a door.

Guest House Paradiso is a good movie, with the same black humour as the show and stage acts.

As they have now gone on to do separate projects, and are getting on a bit now, it seems that the boys from Bottom are no more.

Check out the Dangerous Brothers too, Rik and Ade in fine form!
