I remember watching this when it was first broadcast. At the time I thought it was one of the funniest things ever: a kind of Woodstock for the whole 'alternative comedy' era. Still great to see.
My first copy of the Jackie magazine (in 1986) had a page on which a few members of the public were asked whom they'd most like to snog. Two guys said "Samantha Fox", and another one said "Diana Ross": good choices. I'd have said "Rik Mayall"!
This was then but tnis is now in 2019 and how times have changed from the live show on stage to now every 2 years the BBC live studio based 6 plus hours show to raise money and awareness thro donations and events around March /April
If folk from this concert re-enacted my favourite Bible story: Vyvyan = Esau! Rik = Jacob Dawn French = Leah Kate Bush = Rachel Jennifer Saunders = Rebekah Billy Connolly = Isaac.
French and Saunders had me rolling. Loved dawns hair. The sex talk reminds me of highschool talk LMAO. We knew a little more though. No spikes or hymen trampolines
Had this on VHS as a kid. Blast from te Past!
I had the audio cassette tape of this. Good memories.
I had the cassette of this l. It was still funny just listening to them

"Good evening, bastards!" My sentiments exactly 😂!
Just 14000 views !!!
A HUGE event at the time, when Rik Mayall was one of the most famous men in the country.
For my French-exchange girl, 1986 was all about Rocky (IV). For me, it was "Ricky"!
Thank you, Young Ones, for helping me to survive the existence of utter, utter, utter b*st*rds (and horrible exams) in 1986!
Whoever's idea it was to have Rik come on after Rowan was a genius.
the best comedy written ever full stop
thanks! this brought back so many great memories
RIP Robin ❤❤❤
Love the guy who’s engaging with Rowan on the dirty names part
Brilliant stuff......lived through it all!!

Wow, the two woman bit is horrible...
PS: And, as always, Rowan Atkinson saves everything :D
The Young Ones' bit is by far the best!
The two girls went on to be legendary. French and Saunders anyone??? I must be ancient.
