Description
Often described as a sitcom with a difference, The Young Ones features the lunatic exploits of four students of Scumbag College: Vyv, the punk (Adrian Edmonson); “socially aware” and “politically conscious” Rick (Rik Mayall); Neil, the hippy (Nigel Planer); and Mike, the well-dressed smoothie (Christopher Ryan). They share a dilapidated house in North London owned by their dodgy landlord Jerzy Balowski (Alexei Sayle). They are the least compatible house-mates 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.

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.

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 a wardrobe and enters Narnia. But the sharks at the window and the arson attack on Rik's bedroom pale into insignificance when their landlord Jerzei Balowski turns into a homicidal, axe-wielding maniac.
