The new statesman is one of most underrated sitcoms of 1980s.

[@S-O-T]

Why do people say things like this on every post on every video?😂 It wasn’t underrated at all

[@normfollows6618]

Nah, the poms did the best comedy, Rik was fantastic in whatever he acted in.

[@DJL78]

Rik was a genius.

[@Boilingfrogg]

Yeah he used to have me and friends in stitches when we were in our teens watching the young ones.

[@frutt5k]

Rick, with a silent 'P'

[@limitlesspeak]

Rik mayall is a genius , this show is probably an accurate description of what torie mp’s are like, he completely rinsed them by playing this role!!!! Hahahaha

[@ashdown1981]

R. I. P rik. Grew up watching bottom. Legend

[@UnitedRoad1987]

A Comedy genius, RIP Rik

[@willhay6148]

Rick created a matchless array of misfits and psychos! I thought Drop Dead Fred was underated as well!

[@S-O-T]

Why do people say things are underrated? It was top rated just like the new statesman and the young ones.

[@CarlySmith001]

Ritchie from Bottom was pretty good too

[@mortalclown3812]

There was one scene that left me breathless with laughter and shock - so long ago, can't recall the episode, but Alan and his Mom leaned in for a kiss goodbye and both opened their mouth at the last second. I'm quite serious. 😂

[@Matt-cz6ti]

Modern Tories would call Alan a liberal leftie woke snowflake

[@FredrickDouglass69]

That’s pretty much correct. He’s a good lad but Braverman and Rees-Mogg are more my cup of tea. ☕️

[@neilmccormick2064]

There really ought to have been an Alan B'stard movie....oh wait! There is. We're living it now .

[@BasedGarfield]

Well we have a bastard in right now 😂

[@S-O-T]

@@BasedGarfield They really think Rishi Sunak is an upgrade from Boris Johnson😂

[@lsghost5805]

Man what I would have payed to see Alan meet Eddie and Ritchie I have a feeling Ritchie would have instantly idolised Alan and Eddie would’ve been indifferent

Alan B’Stard is what happens when you read The Fountainhead on acid.

[@anonUK]

No drugs required- Ayn Rand thought this was how we should all behave.

[@dikkie1000]

@@anonUK Wait, what, it wasn't meant as satire then?

[@Mentocthemindtaker]

Or watch Parliament Question Time while sober.

Britbox showing clips of a show you can't watch on Britbox! Great! 🙄

[@ben6993]

I’m genuinely stunned I’ve never heard of this show before

[@frutt5k]

too young

Alan B'Stard, a character nearly as evil as the actual Tories of today.

Alan B'Stard, the original inspiration for the Red Wedding.

[@cuthbertgrichardsfuck7235]

@@BossySwan truth hurts. Johnsons Nationalists are some of the most evil cunts seen in the last 75 years. They either want you dead from covid or having to eat from a food bank after working a 48 hour week. And they'd rather kids don't eat at all.

[@87654321j]

I'd love to do a character similar to Alan here in Australia but of course he'd be a liberal MP lol 😂
