Whoever booked Rik Mayall and Ade Edmondson to come on and plug the adults-only Bottom Live tour on the final ever episode of kids TV show Going Live was a genius. Here, the pair take their interview by kids as seriously as deserved.

Only Rik Mayall could drop (literally) into one of the UK’s best sitcoms two minutes before the episode ends and completely steal the show from an ensemble of comedy geniuses led by Rowan Atkinson. Flash by name, Flash by nature!

This scene is one of Bottom’s best. Rik Mayall goes from childlike excitement to bitter resentment, then horniness to naive confusion as Eddie explains his real present. See Ade Edmondson has to pause near the end to allow the audience reaction to subside after a brilliant gag.

No other actors commit themselves to stunts and fights like Rik Mayall and Ade Edmondson, crashing through walls, windows and in this case in The Young Ones, a ceiling, and continuing their fight without losing a beat.
