    • Trivia
      A main factor in the show only lasting one series was a falling-out between Rik Mayall and Ben Elton over writing privileges. Mayall felt that Elton was dominating the series and that he was shut out of the writing process.
    • Quotes

      Edward Catflap: Richie, if you don't stop talking, I am going to cut off your head, put it in the microwave until it goes ping, mash it up with a bit of milk and butter, and ram it up your backside!

    • Alternate versions
      The UK VHS release omits a number of songs: Eddie singing "You've Got To Pick a Pocket or Two", "Roxanne", "Message in a Bottle"; Richie singing "Morning Has Broken", "Where Is Love" and "Consider Yourself".

    A brilliant satire on celebrity and the state of it

    This series, which by the way is a brilliant satire on celebrity and the state of it, stars 1/3 of The Young Ones and was filmed in between that series and Bottom. This is not very (or at all) well known in the U.S. sadly. Although all Young Ones Fans would love it. Imagine BOTTOM and THE YOUNG ONES combined, shake em up a bit and FILTHY, RICH AND CATFLAP is what you'd get. The shows get better upon repeat viewings and the jokes don't beat you over the head (as on BOTTOM). Highly recommended for all fans of any comedy at all.
