Bottom - the TV series – is almost a ‘cult’ British comedy that started out in 1991. It follows the hilarious adventures of two flatmates living in a dank flat in Hammersmith, London, played by Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson, who also featured in The Young Ones – another British comedy which aired before Bottom.
Bottom was written by Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson, who are also the main actors, known as Richard Richard (Richie) and Edward Elizabeth Hitler (Eddie).
Bottom DVDs and videos are still very popular in auctions such as ebay, where any fan of the series can pick up a bargain, and even purchase the whole collection.

Allegedly, Bottom was written much before The Young Ones, when Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson were students in Manchester, where they performed at local venues to make a bit of money.
