House of Dioxin

A few weeks back I discovered that BBC America was showing the Young Ones. Happy happy joy joy. I remember watching these back in the late 80s, I think on MTV. Sometime or other after that my bro taped most of them for me off of Pittsburgh public TV. But still it's been years since I've seen any. Completely stupid. Completely brilliant. There's this one rant by Alexei Sayle (from the episode "Boring") about being driven mad by UK council housing that can still reduce me to tears. The first time I saw it I actually fell off the couch I was laughing so hard. The episode I just finished watching ("Bambi") is one of their best, with Vyv kicking his decapitated head down a train track, killer laundry, Bacon Sandwich (the pig-ferret), guest appearances by Emma Thompson, Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie, Robbie Coltrane, Mel Smith & Griff Rhys-Jones, and Motorhead doing "Ace of Spades."
