(Right) Ben Elton - writer of many British comedies including The Young Ones & BlackAdder, he is also a great stand up comic, as proved in his recent television series on BBC1 called The man from Auntie.

Alexi Sayle in (The Young Ones)

Here's Ade Edmondson & Rik Mayall in another of my favourites, this one is called BOTTOM. The character's they play are called Eddie (right) and Richie(left). They are both complete slobs, and are always beating the living daylights out of each other (absoulute mindless violence ) ...its hilarious. Before this they were also in a series based around the same theme - called Filthy Rich and Catflap.

(Right) The crew of Red Dwarf - Cat (top left), Kryton(top right), Lister(bottom left), Rimmer(bottom right)

FLIBBLE - (Mr Flibble & Rimmer from Red Dwarf)
