Bottom was mostly poor and then made me cry with laughter periodically without knowing why other than it was unsound and violent.

McGoohan Jan 2019 9:48pm, 8 Jan 2019 37,708 posts	0 McGoohan Bottom made me embarrassed to have been a fan of The Young Ones. Mind you, so did Filthy, Rich and Catflap.

I suspect I’d find Bottom pretty lame now, but I found it hilarious when watching it with flat mates as a drunken student.

Agree on the age thing, hence young ones hit the mark and Bottom/Arse didn’t. Repeats of Young Ones a bit meh as well, despite loving it at the time.
