Crafted by Bottom aficionados Paul Tanter, Angela Pearson and Mat Brooks, Talking Bottom is the ultimate guide to an outrageous and unforgettable sitcom.
In 1991, a new comedy hit British screens, and, at first glance, it was just another sofa-based sitcom. Soon, it became apparent that Bottom was a masterpiece. Mixing cartoon-style slapstick, nob gags and Beckettian nihilism, Bottom left an indelible mark on British comedy. Written by and starring comedy legends Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson as reprobates Richard Richard and Edward Hitler, their depraved universe unfolded over three chaotic BBC TV series, five explosive live shows and a formidable feature film.
Celebrating the legacy of TVs greatest losers Richie and Eddie, this book features thorough 'Bottom Inspections', 'Bottom Nuggets', unseen photos, draft script excerpts and interviews with cast and crew sure to reignite fans love for Rik and Ades unmatched talent for toilet humour.
Crafted by the creators of the Talking Bottom podcast Paul Tanter, Angela Pearson and Mat Brooks, this is the ultimate guide to the outrageous and unforgettable sitcom that continues to delight and disgust audiences today.
