About this programme:
Depressed hippie Neil plans on killing himself, while Rick, Mike and Vyvyan ignore him. The council plans on demolishing the house, but Vyvyan is doing his best to save them the bother by doing it himself, while Mike tries to seduce the female council representative.
About this series:
Loud, anarchic, surreal and juvenile and - most of all - outrageously funny comedy featuring the lunatic exploits of four students of Scumbag College: Vyv, the punk; socially aware and politically conscious Rik; Neil, the hippy; and Mike, the well-dressed smoothie. They share a dilapidated house in North London owned by their dodgy landlord Jerzy Balowski. They are the least compatible housemates it is possible to imagine and, when they are not tearing pieces out of each other, they manage to get involved in the most bizarre of comic escapades.
Guidance
Contains adult humour.

Episodes
Ep. 1:
| Demolition- Depressed hippie Neil plans on killing himself, while Rick, Mike and Vyvyan ignore him. The council plans on demolishing the house, but Vyvyan is doing his best to save them the bother by doing it himself, while Mike tries to seduce the female council representative. | ||
Ep. 2:
| Oil- Vyvyan locates oil in the basement and instantly forms a coalition with Mike to take command of the house (and oil) and Mike discovers Buddy Holly in his new room. | ||
Ep. 3:
| Boring- Despite a terrorist siege in their house, a visitation from a dwarf from Hell, skating vegetables in the sink and card-playing mice, the Young Ones are so bored that Neil is driven to dig himself a grave and Vyv chops his finger off. | ||
Ep. 4:
| Bomb- An atomic bomb falls through the roof and blocks the fridge. Mike plans to sell it to the highest bidder, while Neil paints himself white to deflect a nuclear blast and the TV licence man calls. | ||
Ep. 5:
| Interesting- It's party-time! Where else can you mingle with the four horsemen of the Apocalypse, a giant sandwich, a singing tomato and Santa? Rick desperately tries to impress his favourite lecturer, Mike pulls a literal fairytale princess, Vyvyan's fellow punks start a riot, and Neil gets beaten up. | ||
Ep. 6:
| Flood- During heavy rains, London floods and the Young Ones are trapped in the house. When they embark on a game of hide-and-seek to pass the time, Mike finds a lion tamer in his bedroom and Vyvyan hides in wardrobe and enters Narnia. But the sharks at the window and the arson attack on Rick's bedroom pale into insignificance when their landlord Jerzei Balowski turns into a homicidal, axe-wielding maniac. |
