Ross is so hopelessly outclassed here even though his guests are toning it down and it is evident how nervous he is to be in the presence of these two titanic personalities and intellects. He knows that at any second Mayall and Edmonson could take control of the entire show, with full audience support and there's NOTHING anyone could do to stop them.

Incredible interview technique here by Mr Ross. He has two of the most popular comedians of the day; one with a larger than life 'Off stage' personality, the other by contrast quieter, more considered and the opposite to his 'On-stage' persona, and yet despite this veritable goldmine of material to work with.... Ross manages somehow to suck the lifeblood out of the pair of them.

JR always did try to ape that 'American-style' chat show where the host is a stand-up comedian (although I don't think Ross himself ever was), and the guest has to work really hard to get out of the ghetto of second fiddle. Danny Baker did the exact same thing with that show he had in the mid-90s, and that was annoying and unfunny too. You'd pray for someone like Peter Cook or Robin Williams to come on and effortlessly outclass him.

Rik Mayall is impossibly handsome. And was such a talent. We saw him on stage doing the New Statesman many years ago. He walked on. Forgot his first line and brought the house down. It was Boxing day night. He'd obviously had a few bevies and he just really had fun playing the part of Alan Bastard. We laughed all night. All the way to the station and all the way home. He had a way of behaving like you were all friends for years. Tremendous stage presence. It was impossible to take your eyes off him. A great loss to Britian when he died.

Producer Peter Jackson said he was going to ask them to get another writer in anyway. If you watch the shows you can quite clearly see quite a bit of what Ben Elton wrote. It's on the bonus disc of the Young One's dvd. Also Lise Mayer said that at first Rik and herself were all over the place, then when Ben came on board he wrote almost all of the first episode. The reason they brought Ben in was because he was at the same university and he had written lots of plays and had got them produced while there. He was very prolific. Ben Elton definitely co-wrote the Young One's. Also Alexie Sayle wrote additional material.

It's weird - the gap between 1986 and 1991 felt like a generation, but was only 5 years and was here being held up as an example of how they haven't "moved on" in their comedy. These days, there could be a 5-year gap between series in the same show and no one would blink an eye.

First time seeing this, Jonathan Ross never seems to shut up and let Rik and Ade speak, he's also slightly condescending to them both, Rik and Ade did really well not to get annoyed, love Rik and Ade, saw them twice live in Blackpool, bottom live, funniest show I've ever been to, miss Rik to this day, but he's left us a wonderful comedy legacy

Ode to Rik Mayall by Rob Spratt 2014 I remember the 80′s, when I was still in my teens when four crazy students ignited our screens. The show was The Young Ones. I simply adored it. So funny and different, like nothing before it. The stories were crazy, the characters insane, a collection of misfits who lived in my brain. There wasn’t a playground, where the youth at the time, weren’t doing impressions or reciting the lines. And like ‘Cliff’ before it, the key thing it did was shock all the parents and delight all the kids. The show was anarchic and it hit with such force, that it redefined humour and changed history’s course. There was Vyvyan the punk who was completely insane, a violent psychotic, who had a girl’s name. A loony tunes cartoon, always having fits, and whose solution to all was to smash it to bits. And then there was Neil, the one who dug graves. The peace-loving hippy, abused like a slave. He’d cook for them all - chickpeas or lentils, and he found it quite heavy in a house full of mentals. And what about Mike? So chilled, suave, yet so shady. He fancied himself as one for the ladies. He was always so cool, wearing shades was his norm, with his laid-back persona, he was the calm in the storm. And so on to Rik, who looked up to Mike. But Rik was the housemate that nobody liked. He was shallow and childlike, his tantrums unreal, always fighting with Vyv or else picking on Neil. Rik was deluded, and thought he was great, but to everyone else was a figure of hate. The self-proclaimed poet, who ‘spoke for the youth’, but to say he spoke rubbish was nearer the truth. Oh how I loved the look on Rik’s face when he thought he’d put someone back in their place. His hands on his hips, all Rigsby-style snorting, gaffawing; the self-satisfied smile. The others just scoffed at his pompous pretensions and ignored him whenever he demanded attention. Frustrated and angry, didn’t know what to do, that was our Rik, the rebel with no clue. So, many years later, it’s all in the past. Did they know at the time they’d made something to last? Something important, a stand-out by far, that would affect our culture and the way that we are? Thank you to Rik, Chris, Nigel and Ade for being the Young Ones and the parts that you played. To some it may seem that you were just being daft but no doubt in my mind, masters of your craft. And thank you to Lise and Ben and to Rik for writing what is, a true Brit classic. Of course they all went on to do far more besides But The Young Ones was really where they hit their stride. So, it’s thirty years on, and out of the blue, the TV and web were alive with the news that something had happened, so sudden, so quick; the nation lost a hero, a hero called Rik. I never imagined the pain that I’d feel. The shock hit me hard, still can’t believe that it’s real. I don’t know why, I can’t explain, why I’ve cried so much since and felt so much pain. I guess I loved Rik more than I even knew. It’s like a part of me has been snatched away, too. I keep watching re-runs of the things he was in, and keep thinking of Barbara and all of his kin. And when the kids ask why the adults are crying The adults will say “because inside we’re dying” “Someone we loved, a man we adored, the ‘people’s poet’, is sadly no more”. But one thing’s for certain, it’s since become clear That Rik was a man that his country held dear. I feel happier knowing that, and it’s now a safe bet; the noble Englishman, Rik, we will never forget. Rik, ask us again, “hands up who likes me” and watch millions go up, just so you can see you were always right, that you always knew just how much love would come back at you. Now you’re standing wild-eyed at the gates of heaven, And they’ve heard the bad news has been turned up to eleven. “Flashheart’s arrived!” and while mulling your fate God’s voice booms, “Bastards! Open that gate!” RIP Rik Mayall 1958 - 2014

Also, yeah, he didn't know Godot was a comedy? 🤔🤔 Well, whatever. It's a chat show. The guys are great anyway and Rik's hair and five-o-clock shadow are gorgeous.

Jonathan Ross is just a bad interviewer and host. I have no idea why people watch his show. Measure how much he talks and compare it to how much he allows his guests to talk. A good host will keep the flow of the interview going acting as a prompt to help his guests if their conversation should slow. Ross just interrupts constantly and clearly loves the sound of his own voice. In 20 years he clearly has learned nothing since he still spends 90% of all his interviews talking over the guests.
