The Young Ones

The Young Ones was a British sitcom about four male students who live in the same House. The series is recorded between 1982 and 1984 for the BBC. The program combined satire, absurd humor, anarchy, sketches and musical performances. The series fell on by the, especially at that time, violent humor: the housemates beat each other regularly with stuff at your fingertips.

A striking feature of the series were the often surreal intermezzo's. occasionally dived there other actors or talking animals or objects on that have nothing to do with the rest of the plot. In the middle of each episode has also performed a band on, again without immediate cause. The reason for this, however, was that the series this was qualified as light entertainment, leaving more money was available. In some cases it went to famous bands such as Madness and Motörhead, while other bands are already forgotten.

The theme song of the series was a new version of the song by Cliff Richard. The Young Ones in 1986 achieved a number one hit in Britain and Netherlands with the song"Living Doll", along with Cliff Richard. In 1984, Nigel Planer as Neil had a hit with Hole in my shoe, a cover version of a song by Traffic.

Originally an episode lasted 35 minutes. When rebroadcast and when making a dvd of the series episodes were shortened. A musical contribution was also removed for the dvd because of copyright problems.
