That is the most 90s thing I've ever seen. Trevor and Simon interviewing bottom-era Rik and Ade, with awful, oversized t-shirts, and a mega cd got given away beforehand. Brilliant.

[@ritchiesa2007]

who else has ended up here because of the RHLSTP episode?

[@michaelwincott]

Yep!

[@sunekoo]

Heh yep! Just saw the Sarah Greene clip too

[@cheesescientist]

Simon Ritchie ...armpit that dispenses suncream...

[@jenhodges3178]

Yup

[@boblroblindsay4650]

Saturday morning legends meeting ultimate legends! Brilliant memory 👌🏻 Thank you for sharing 👍🏻

[@mickpriestley]

26 years later and Andy Peters looks exactly the same

[@JohnSmith-ix5gx]

best double act in the biz ,rik and Ade are alright too

[@saucep5940]

Dude, I wonder if Peter Liddel from Glasgow still has that sick Mega-CD?

[@Mors_Inimicis]

Sauce :P No, sadly it met its end when Mr Liddel returned from a huge drinking binge and projectile vomited over it then fell onto the already struggling machine and destroying it with his 20 stone bulk. Both the machine and owner were discovered some months later after milk bottles began piling up outside the property and the windows were black with bluebottles. Awful story which brings a tear to my eye every time I relate it .

[@ians5597]

Yeah! I went to see Bottom Live in '93, it was as grate as QPR are.

[@PutTheTellyOn]

legends aren't they.

[@EdSurname]

this is classic. i remember it- what i want to know is why an act like rik and ade were on saturday morning kids telly??!! brilliant

[@Davewise1965]

Rik And Ade are legends.

[@talkinganimals]

Love the retro prize packs.

[@PrecipitationAndCorderoy]

Why oh why can’t Trevor & Simon be remembered more so than the likes of smarmy Schofield? I loved those guys when I was a kid. And obviously I loved Rik & Ade.

[@thequietestengine]

Now isnt that the truth!

[@christhesnaildriver]

The audio sounds fine to me! especially considering this was ripped off an old vhs from a time when even the sound of live telly wasn't as Hi-tech as today! Great to see this again - thanks for uploading!

[@PutTheTellyOn]

It was originally encoded back in 2007, I wasn't used to the process back then so sorry if the picture's a little blurry but in my opinion the audio is all there and crystal clear. I've had no complaints about it from others which leads me to think your speakers need replacing or something.

[@20thCB]

Rik's handshake :-)

[@markxist]

Here after the RHLSTP interview with Trevor and Simon - they said it was awkward to interview their heroes and it really was!

[@timbeaton5045]

God god... Green Assembly.... regular haunt when i worked at TVC back in '89 onwards. Guess that's long gone.

[@VengaboysRbackINtown]

Yep, Trev and Simon are the best!! ;-)

[@VengaboysRbackINtown]

Ah, I remember when kids shows used to give away prizes like that. A whole bunch of stuff together. :-)

[@adamj7841]

Do you have a shirt that you really love? One that you feel so groovy in?

[@dantaylor7344]

How many kids could have gone to watch bottom live? 18+ ?

[@JamesGasson]

+dan taylor I went to see it in Brighton when I was 12! :D

[@dantaylor7344]

***** They let you in? No one asked your age?

[@JamesGasson]

I remember very clearly! My parents said they would take me as long as it was allowed. I told all my friends at school the next day who thought it was the coolest thing ever, but I knew I might not be able to go. When I got home, to my delight, it turned out there was no age restriction! Sounds mad, but it's true.

[@Kryotek7]

Back at that point most people only had 4 channels and Saturday mornings were full of kids programs on at least 2 channels so lots of adults watched it, especially if they had kids.

[@juankusoff]

dan taylor They didn’t really have age restrictions for stage shows back then tbh, it was the late 90’s when they started cracking down. I went to see Lee Evans when I was about 7 in ‘98, then wanted to go see him again a few years later but by then there was age restrictions.

[@dougieladd]

starts around 2:25

[@PutTheTellyOn]

It is indeed.

[@Tmuk2]

Life must be terribly confusing for you

[@AnntichristSCoulter]

Don't have any problem with the picture, except for a few minor skips; my speakers are fine with most other KZbin videos, and the machine's new, so no, it's not the speakers. Not saying that my hearing's perfect, but there are only a few videos where the dialogue was indecipherable to me.

[@LucyInNightmares1]

Omg did they just call a CD a compact disc hahah

[@juankusoff]

That is what a CD is

[@PutTheTellyOn]

they were just messing as you'll see in the response vid.

[@AceripXF]

were rik and ade serious bout the whole fight or were they just kidding around?

[@ADyingFaith]

I was only 3. I had another year to go before i first ever watched Bottom and first heard of them.

[@PutTheTellyOn]

Er there is audio :S

[@adamthompson7932]

Omfg I forgot about those guys!

[@danniedorkosvideos]

eat your telly.

[@AnntichristSCoulter]

@putthetellyon1 UNDERSTANDABLE audio. This sounds like a film-school student's class project on a Super-8 camera.

[@michaelwincott]

Umm.. no. It doesn't.

[@ONLYFOOLSNVIDEOS]

To be honest bottom doesn't have much cursing at all. It's mostly innuendos that'll go over kids heads, like it did mine when I watched it.

[@AnntichristSCoulter]

Audio would've been nice.

[@AceripXF]

@pickemallayyye hardy har har

[@IAmSoMuchBetterThanYou]

Whatever happened to Trevor and Simon?

[@TheStevenWhiting]

Look up Richard Herrings podcast he interviewed them a few years back.

[@ADyingFaith]

meant to say 5 not 3.

[@AceripXF]

oh okay i thought they got mad cos they wanted them to cancel rik and ads tour

[@HulaBeulah]

They probably don't have a different audience now days.

[@rayblack2004]

meow lol

[@dantaylor7344]

+rayblack2004 yep! Drama biatches!

[@AnntichristSCoulter]

P.S. the response video has perfect audio, even if the "presenter" woman is a total twit. So nope, it's not my machine or speakers.

[@jonshanks]

Looks like that was Philippa Forrester as the tea lady.

[@AceripXF]

why do you say that?

[@thegrandmuftiofwakanda]

Trev and Simon are about as funny as an AIDS flavoured pork pie.

[@Marlondurran]

Brilliant lol 😂

[@col8723]

They are funnier than most of today’s so called comedians.
