Adrian Edmondson Wogan 1985

[@LadyGigglesnort]

He was and still is lovely, warm, funny and rather gorgeous!

[@battywattywoo]

Well said!

[@Muetichu]

What the hell are you talking about. He’s very dangerous and a bum

[@isalennon]

Agree!

[@hawsrulebegin7768]

Can see Terry was enjoying himself here. Ade was a childhood hero. Simple stupid comedy but exceptionally well presented with his own unique style. Him and Rik are legends.

[@TigerTigerII]

*gasps softly* He had HAIR

[@danielwilliamson6180]

TRIVIA: Ade Edmondson shaved his head for Bottom. When he appeared on Going Live to be interviewed about Bottom Series 2 he had a full head of hair.

[@simonwarren65]

Not MUCH hair, tho.

[@420_24seven]

Yeah thats how we all remember him..

[@frankgarrett242]

He’s lost a lot of hair.

[@IainFrame]

Amazing how him saying "bollocks" felt so revolutionary and shocking, compared to an equivalent interview in the 21st century.

[@danielwilliamson6180]

Ade is one of my favourite comedians.

[@BlackDiamondXx]

his smile just makes me melt! lordy..i could sit and stare at a picture of him for hours on end.

[@whynottalklikeapirat]

Minimalism. I approve.

[@SophisticatedLunatic]

I could say a lot but now all I can say is: CUUUUUUUUUUUTE

[@isalennon]

Really really cute indeed!

[@therespectedlex9794]

I miss Wogan and Edmondson. So natural and comfortable together. I felt quite good watching that.

[@mrmeerkat1096]

Same here. I remember it being a cosy feeling sat watching Wogan when i was a kid. The difference in guests he had on from Hollywood legends to the current pop stars and the like. A real chat show giving the guests a chance to speak, no gimmicks that get boring pretty quickly.

[@stewux]

When he took that sip of water at 1.43, reminded me so much of Edward Hitler swigging from a whiskey bottle years later in the xmas episode of Bottom.

[@EllssBellss19]

oh my god, he's so CUTE!!!

[@Marlondurran]

What about me ?

RIP Sir Terry you lovely man.

Awww he's so cute

[@Davewise1965]

Ade is a legend.

[@bachingmad2567]

I hardly recognised him without luminous orange spikes ;D

[@danielwilliamson6180]

Such a shame he doesn't do comedy anymore due to the passing of Rik.

[@LittleMissJmoo]

They were an awesome duo...You have to give him respect though, due to the fact it would be hard to carry on doing something you did with your partner in crime. He did solo stuff on his own though, which he may get back into doing like his short appearances. When it comes to a Rick and Ade duo, there is nobody who could take the place! Plus you get older and move on to other projects in life...Apparently they were going to do another Bottom before Rick died, though they couldn't agree at the time. (whether or not thats just a rumour or not)

[@reggiepollock4669]

@@LittleMissJmoo jesus can you imagine if they did and rik quite literally died on stage

[@bigdaddy4069]

It wasn't due to the passing of Rik

[@UnChannelDuVulpineX]

@@bigdaddy4069 Well what was it then?

[@bigdaddy4069]

@@UnChannelDuVulpineX Ade Edmondson put a stop to the duo a good 3 years before Riks death.

[@farmbrough]

An interesting contrast with Rik Mayall's Wogan interview. Adrian is obviously much more shy and so has to hide behind a performance for most of the interview.

[@LittleMissJmoo]

Holy shit, how young does he look!

[@phantomkitty1234]

his hair is really fluffy...0_o and adorable

[@garysuarez9614]

The sound effects segment makes my soul happy.

[@TheGirlgamer3]

He looks so young!!! And sweet! :)

[@misfit2022]

Supergrass is excellent. I have it in my Comic Strip Presents box set. Over the years I have subjected my father to Young Ones, Comic Strip, Filthy, Rich and Catflap and Bottom and he dislikes them all but can’t get enough of The Dales which shows if you persevere long enough you can even be appreciated by my father.

[@beckypratt8218]

I live in the dales so we of course watched that when it came out, absolutely blew my mind when my dad told us this rather serious presenter played vyvyan!!

[@jamesbyersmusic]

Interesting to see that he has only recently shed Vivian, and was soon to do Filthy, Rich & Catflap, yet with the brown jacket and speech patterns you can clearly see that Eddie was beginning to make his presence known!

[@eamonstafford2056]

Geez this guy is funny. Keeps Terry on his toes. Very talented man

[@berniewatts1587]

Brilliant! havn't seen that clip since I was 10! Shame the video ran out!. (Ooh have we got a video!? ).

[@jogon7914]

Did Ade keep that shirt and suit for Bottom which was 6 years later?

[@TomReid10]

Yes from the way it looks I'd say the tape ran out on the VHS tape I was using to record it in '85. Compared to what I got as a student at the time, tapes seemed to cost a fortune then, so I used to squeeze as much content as I could on each. Ironic in this digital age to think we had to think carefully in the '80's about what we captured due to the cost of the media.

[@will4may175]

I remember when long play came out, and then the 5hr vhs tapes giving you 10hrs, it was like heaven, re-record not fade away 😁

[@ashleyp.4932]

I remember watching this when it was broadcast. In 1985 I was 14 or 15 (depending when it was shown of course), and I thought it was hilarious! My parents, however, thought Ade's behaviour was appalling. :D

[@simoncollett4524]

Then he hit both targets! :)

[@noonoofulable]

My claim to fame is that Ade's father, Frederick Edmondson, was my geography teacher in middle school. He looks a lot like his father here except his dad was bald and wore half moon glasses. I always remember his father wearing a brown/beige suit.

[@ThomasCorfield]

Cool. Do you feel that's why Eddie Hitler wears that same sort of suit? Thanks for sharing.

[@noonoofulable]

@@ThomasCorfield Maybe. His father was a very stiff upper lip type of person and we knew we were not allowed to mention his famous son because it would annoy him. We thought it was because he was embarrassed of him. I still have his father's signature in my autograph book.

[@ThomasCorfield]

@@noonoofulable That's beautiful. Makes stars seem mortal. Thanks so much.
