BOTTOM
'Bottom' was a madcap, violent, very
funny 1990s BBC sitcom, starring Rik Mayall as Richie,
and Ade Edmondson as Eddie Hitler.
Richie is a frustrated virgin with a
small pecker, and Hitler is a mad sadist who likes
hitting Richie. Neither have much luck with the ladies.
They're flatmates, so tend to get on each other's nerves ad
nauseam. Richie is conceited and delusional, and
tends to think any woman who doesn't fancy him must be a
lesbian. Eddie is quite smart, but has drinking problems,
which make him more anti-social than when sober. At least
he has a couple of friends - Spudgun (Steve O'Donnell)
and Dave Hedgehog (Christopher Ryan - reuniting with his
'Young Ones' pals). Richie has none.
Both Richie and Eddie have one notable
quality - their indestructibility. Despite the very
dangerous and violent scrapes they get into, nothing, it
seems, can cause them mortal harm.
The Eddie Hitler character may have
inspired Harry Hill's fashion sense.
