Rik and Ade's awkward hot seat interview (FULL VERSION) | Going Live! | 17/04/1993

[@leejones8582]

Only in the '90s could you go on a kid's show to promote 18 rated tour of a popular show.

[@muttley9520]

'I'm just going to ring home and see if it's going well' - lol, great line!

[@reubenclaridge6180]

"fucking cunty bollocks" The words they wanted to say. RIP Rik Mayall

[@markcarlon8558]

They were brilliant together, I saw them live on stage twice, best show ever, R. I. P. rick mayal comedy genius.

I can't honestly imagine trying to interview these two on a kid's show. It really is like trying to air The Sopranos on the Family Channel.

[@morrismckinnon6047]

People forget, or just weren't around then, that this is what 90's television was like, anything go's. Going Live, The Big Breakfast, I even remember Oliver Reed, and many others, getting pissed quite often on live TV, It was great! ITV and Channel 4 were the only channels still broadcasting after midnight and would often show one off experimental shows and strange surreal student animations late at night just to fill the time in, fucking good days, man!

[@Jizzlewobbwtfcus]

Agreed. Great times before "feelings" became the priority /sigh

Going Live was amazing man. And afterwards was always X-Men or Spiderman. Golden era ;)

What an absolute gem! Has it really been that long since Going Live went off the air? Sarah Greene was always a great presenter, right back from her early days in Blue Peter. RIP Mike Smith (her late hubby) and of course the wonderful Rik Mayall.

I'll always think of them in that Ghostwatch programme. Scared the hell out of me at the time!

[@mrbee4life182]

Yeah he was a total one of a kind will never be another i mean if someone tried to do a biopic of his life there is no one who could portray him except Greg Davies who looks incredibly like him but is probably too tall but it was so funny when he was Gregs dad in Man Down perfect casting as they are almost twins 👍🏻

[@JontyLand]

Didn't think it was that bad. Quite funny in parts with no awkward moments. Better than some of the phone-ins I've seen.

[@willman85]

The awkward bits: Saying "git" on a children's show; the bad Vyvian impression saying an Eddie line; the host introducing the Vyvian impression from the wrong caller; the host thinking a caller said 'juggling career' instead of 'comedy career'.

[@ChimpingBulldog]

Sarah Green was terrible.

[@Robert-yk8tx]

9:00 love it how the lady starts talking about (a) ‘johnny’s’ question and rick and ade can not joke about it aloud.

[@GrilloTheFlightless]

I have to wonder what bright spark thought it would be a good idea to get Rik and Ade to go on a kids show to plug their over-18s live show, knowing they wouldn’t be able to do do their usual type of jokes because it wouldn’t be appropriate! But they did remarkably well under such ludicrous circumstances!

[@trailersic]

I like of the response to the question "will the dangerous stunts influence kids?" with "I hope so" got a huge laugh from the crew who are well aware that's not what you are supposed to say on a show like this.

[@Animebrity.]

[@Viperuk80]

that was the most awkward 10 minutes of tv i have ever seen lol

OMG RIK IS SO INCREDIBLY HANDSOME *sighs*

[@caerfaimama]

So handsome and so funny, Intoxicating combination.

[@putthetellyon]

I think one of the things people may be forgetting here is that Bottom was hugely popular with kids at the time and as Rik and Ade say, it's all cartoon humour. The reason this interview didn't work well was not necessarily down to Sarah but probably partly because Rik and Ade were being themselves and didn't appear on the show as their characters Richie and Eddie - which would possibly have worked better and certainly got the kids in the studio more excited.

[@TheTurnipKing]

Richie and Eddie meeting Trev and Simon would have become folklore, I suspect.

[@JJONNYREPP]

It was obvious Bottom wasn't a kid's show but I was introduced to it at a very young age as my parents were fans of them both and of course I loved it, it was quite a clean humour really and I understood a lot of it at my age back then.
