Had this on VHS as a kid. Blast from te Past!

[@flashkraft]

I had the audio cassette tape of this. Good memories.

[@dontbenosey1]

I had the cassette of this l. It was still funny just listening to them

[@iainholmes2735]

I remember watching this when it was first broadcast. At the time I thought it was one of the funniest things ever: a kind of Woodstock for the whole 'alternative comedy' era. Still great to see.

[@Cloughie73]

I bought this on vinyl lp when I was 13, love it!

[@tricia5792]

"Good evening, bastards!" My sentiments exactly 😂!

[@bigdaddy4069]

Just 14000 views !!! A HUGE event at the time, when Rik Mayall was one of the most famous men in the country.

[@battywattywoo]

For my French-exchange girl, 1986 was all about Rocky (IV). For me, it was "Ricky"!

[@battywattywoo]

Thank you, Young Ones, for helping me to survive the existence of utter, utter, utter b*st*rds (and horrible exams) in 1986!

[@experi-mentalproductions5358]

Whoever's idea it was to have Rik come on after Rowan was a genius.

[@jengel7214]

the best comedy written ever full stop

[@crimped357]

[@liamw6562]

Love the guy who’s engaging with Rowan on the dirty names part

[@simonhurst4625]

Brilliant stuff......lived through it all!!

[@battywattywoo]

My first copy of the Jackie magazine (in 1986) had a page on which a few members of the public were asked whom they'd most like to snog. Two guys said "Samantha Fox", and another one said "Diana Ross": good choices. I'd have said "Rik Mayall"!

[@bigdaddy4069]

Holy shit, 'Jackie' magazine. I forgot about that.

[@andrewholmes3133]

I remember this. Great memories.

[@stephaniehand503]

[@DRAINPIPE57]

This was then but tnis is now in 2019 and how times have changed from the live show on stage to now every 2 years the BBC live studio based 6 plus hours show to raise money and awareness thro donations and events around March /April

[@bigdvinyl2012]

[@GODCONVOYPRIME]

I get mad Zorak vibes from Vivian.

[@KeKe4Christ]

DO YOU HAVE 1990?!!!

[@reluctantuser]

That drop at 42:40..

[@battywattywoo]

If folk from this concert re-enacted my favourite Bible story: Vyvyan = Esau! Rik = Jacob Dawn French = Leah Kate Bush = Rachel Jennifer Saunders = Rebekah Billy Connolly = Isaac.

[@Zanzoltan]

Wow, the two woman bit is horrible... PS: And, as always, Rowan Atkinson saves everything :D

[@battywattywoo]

The Young Ones' bit is by far the best!

[@pika23]

The two girls went on to be legendary. French and Saunders anyone??? I must be ancient.

[@pika23]

French and Saunders had me rolling. Loved dawns hair. The sex talk reminds me of highschool talk LMAO. We knew a little more though. No spikes or hymen trampolines
