 I remember this was not at all well received back in 1987 and I remember Ben Elton on a chat show - probably Wogan - defending it. My schoolpals weren't too enthusiastic about it either. Personally, I enjoyed it then and when I revisited it a few months ago I was surprised to find I still enjoyed it and think it's actually aged better than The Young Ones. It was shown just the once I seem to recall then swiftly forgotten about as a few years later I'd mention the show and most had more or less forgotten all about it. Ralph makes a comment in the last episode that strongly implied there could be a second series but it was not to be.

I think that was why the reaction to it in 1987 was rather muted... everybody was expecting and wanted The Young Ones part 2 or some such beast given it had 3 quarters of the main cast. Similar styled humour - inevitably - but much more refined and toned down, less anarchic, but silly all the same!

Hard to believe it's now almost a year since we lost Rik Mayall - definitely the most unexpected and saddest death of 2014 for me.
