    One of my favourite jokes in this scene, is how Rik calls out Neil for assuming that the bank manager is a man, even though at 1:10 Rik says "stick your tounge straight down the back of *his* trousers".
    I don't know whether it was on purpose, but it perfectly encapsulates Rik's hypocrisy.

    I loved the Young Ones, hilarious comedy. I did notice in some episodes that during the scenes on occasion there would be a brief flash on screen of a totally random image almost as if the film was accidentally recorded over or a subliminal image. In this clip watch carefully between 2:35 and 2:37 you will see a skier, I'm not sure if that was deliberate but it does appear in the DVD too.

      Yes, it was broadcast with the subliminal image. In this case the skier was relevant to the topic of the snow Neil serves. I don’t think the subliminal images always had a relevance to the scene though. It was an in-house joke.

    The skier is a joke. This was back in the days when people were very paranoid about subliminal messages. The skier flashes past slow enough to be noticed though so it's not a real subliminal message. Just poking fun at people's fears. There are similar images/clips in most episodes of The Young Ones. I was fairly confused by that as well when I was a child and had most of this series on VHS. =P
