# I would almost 'pay' for a full set of The Young Ones
(also Not The Nine O'Clock News)

# as indeed would I
by about the second or third repeat of the Young Ones we did, indeed have a video, though the tapes are probably thoroughly shagged by now.

NtNoN only screened once here, though I did have the LPs.. had to make do recently with the few sketches available on youtube.

# My recollection is that NtNoN aged fairly badly.
I remember seeing Mel Smith talking about the last season they made, being in the editing suite and hearing mad laughter from the next room.
He went next-door to see what they were working on, and it was the first season of The Young Ones. He said he knew then that the stuff they were doing had become old-fashioned and tame by comparison.

# IN OTHER NEWS
I drove a suped-up Eclipse today, never driven a car like that before. It sounded like a fucking jet taking off.

A masterpiece. But the OCD in me wants the whole lot!
