Bottom
Created by Adrian Edmondson, Rik Mayall
On BBC Two
A frenetic, anarchic dark comedy built on slapstick cruelty and surreal humour between two trapped, miserable flatmates with no way out.
Richie Richard (socially awkward, sexually inexperienced) and Eddie Hitler (carefree alcoholic ) are two social outcasts living on the dole. Trapped together in a squalid flat in Hammersmith, London they are perpetually skint, bored and sexually frustrated. They spend their days scheming, bickering, and being nasty and sadistic to each other.
