Quotes
[about to surrender to the burglars]
Richie: No no, they might beat us up.
Eddie: What and cut our bodies into a thousand different pieces?
Richie: And skin us alive.
Eddie: And then... put on our skins.
Richie: And do foul depraved love-making to our still twitching corpses.
Eddie: And eat our livers.
Richie: And drink our blood! And play cricket with our hearts!
Eddie: Yeah... using our love truncheons as wickets!
Richie: And then do weird sort of pagan dancing flapping our skins about the room, and smearing naked girlies' breasts with our throbbing disintegrating brains!
Eddie: [pause] It's not much of an option really, is it?

Has some classic moments from the series

Richie and Eddie catch a burglar.

This is an excellent episode with both Richie and Eddie on top form as they deal with some nasty burglars and even nastier policemen.

The episode combines very funny dialogue with some terrific sight gags. Rik Mayall and Ade Edmondson are relentlessly funny from the moment when Eddie stumbles in drunk, to the final scene of them suffering what can only be described as comedy trauma.

Paul Bradley, otherwise known as Nigel from Eastenders is good as the unfortunate burglar and the two attending police officers are also funny.

My favourite bit is when Richie starts 'sleep slanging' at the police, closely followed by he and Eddie bouncing around the tied up burglar trying half-heartedly to intimidate him.
