For many fans of The Young Ones, this is their favourite episode. It's definitely mine as well!
Hugh Laurie, Stephen Fry, Tony Robinson, Ben Elton, Mel Smith, Griff Rhys-Jones, Emma Thompson (yes, she was in Love Actually and Nanny McPhee!) AND Motorhead (YES, that was indeed Lemmy and the lads performing Ace of Spades!) were ALL in this! Not only did it have an all-star line-up, but the idea of Mike, Rick, Vyvyan and Neil competing on University Challenge was sheer brilliance. The bet on who likes Rick, the train-journey, the trip to the laundrette...from start-to-finish, Bambi was peak Young Ones! Glad you loved it!
And the late and much missed Robbie Coltraine aka 'Hagrid' as the victorian scientist.
@@speleokeir Amen. Robbie Coltrane was a legend as Hagrid in the Harry Potter films, Fitz in Cracker, Valentine from the Bond Movies and the Xmas spirit in Blackadder’s Christmas Carol.
A true legend and still missed to this day. 😔
Future Academy Award winner (Thompson) Emmy winner (Laurie) multiple BAFTA winner (Elton) and national treasure (Fry). All early in their respective careers!
This has to be my favourite episode of series 2 if not my favourite of the whole show, the scene in the laundrette with the vomiting washing machine never gets old! I also love when Vyvyan loses his head on the train, surreal comedy at it's best! Brilliant episode!😂😂😂
"Bambi" is the ultimate episode because it pitted punks against the privileged. You have to remember the punk movement came about because of the social restraints and class discrimination of the 1970s. There was a widespread struggle with unemployment and "No Future" if you came from a lower socioeconomic background. This episode featured real Cambridge and Oxford University comedian alumni Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie, Emma Thompson, Mel Smith and Griff Rhys-Jones because they represent the elite the viewer saw them as part of the establishment. They played upper-class stereotypes. Whereas The Young Ones comics went to Manchester University and represented the new alternative comedy movement. At the time the upper-class stereotypes represent the very real reality of walking straight into top jobs such as "Director-General of the BBC" or "Chairman of British Rail," so here the name "Footlights" implies privilege. This episode genuinely and patently pitted the underdogs against the Toffs. That's why it's the best episode. It was glorious!
Season 2 is when this really kicks off IMO. I was 10 watching this for the first time and I knew this was something special (beginning of "alternative comedy"). Gladly the end of middle aged men telling the same jokes over and over on stage or TV.
Yes Brutha that was Lemmy...also the other Quuz Team was made up of
Stephen Fry
Hugh Laurie
Emma Thompson
Ben Elton
All British Comedy Royalty...my Fave Part in this was when they changed Characters
Rik became Viv
Viv became Mike
Neil became Rik
Mike became Neil
GENUIS
Awesome! I forgot Hagrid was in this. Hagrid and House in the same episode...
Most people would say this is the best episode, but I've never been that keen on it, it feels a bit too "cartoony" even by the usual standards of the show, and I've never really got the whole Bambi/Bamber thing. It's okay, though. There were some gags you might not have known from the States, but not exactly essential... the Yellow Pages was a telephone directory that had an advert at the time with the tag line "Let your fingers do the walking". Also, University Challenge had two competing teams on desks, which, for the purposes of TV, were shown one above the other via split screen. The idea of them being PHYSICALLY above the other team was quite a good gag at the time.
Mentioned in the brief exchange between Mike and Bambi - dodgy (animal snuff) porno material ! 😅😉
why are the kids crying? haven't you heard? rik is dead.. Classic.
Hah! They said that about the - something that took a long time to finish. Yes, 1000% Lemmy and Motorhead. Emma Thompson, Love Actually...
In Season 2, they use subliminal messages.
What happened to the laundrette sequence?
Felicity Kendall would be disappointed
Yep. Definitely Motörhead
It was Lemmy fronting a tribute 😂
LOL that is hilarious.
@@AfterWorkReactions Haha, i was being facetious about that particular line up of Motorhead really 😅
Yep, that was Motorhead! There was another show with Rik Mayall, Ade Edmondson and a bunch of comedians you'd recognise now called The Comic Strip Presents, which was like a series of different TV movies, and Lemmy had a pretty major role in one called Eat The Rich (which Motorhead did a song with the same name for).
Agreed, Lemmy was fantastic in Eat the Rich, everyone was, was it Topper the prime minister. Even then, if you didn't grow with Crossroads......
Lemmy appeared in another Rik and Ade programme called "The Comic Strip Present's Bad News". It's kinda like Spinal Tap where they play a dysfunctional heavy metal band. They genuinely went up on stage at the Monsters of Rock festival and the look on the audience's faces is priceless!
He also appeared in 'Eat the rich', a comic strip presents production, what Rick and Ade often frequesnted
It was the full classic motorhead lineup.
@@pts1971 If i remember right (and i might be wrong), it was the last set before Phil Taylor left?
And Bad News came out before Spinal Tap.
Bad news ao underrated it's sad
"To the station! ... Music!"
Still one of the coolest TV moments ever.
*Buzz* "I've got a Porsche!"
Oh Emma Thompson, I love you.
It's not an automatic!
Another thing you may have missed, the Victorian Doctor at 5:00 is Robbie Coltrane.
Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie were a comedy duo. You may recognise Hugh from House.
The late Bamber Gascoigne was the long time host of University Challenge. Bambi is a play on words. Also University Challenge has a split screen during the questions, they're not really on top of each other. :)
I really thought that they were on two levels when I was a kid 😂
@@5imp1 Didn't we all.
@@5imp1 they did for one series but it sucked! 😁
This episode has probably the most stars in it. Loved death as an episode. Comic strip after this please; Mr. Jolly Lives Next Door ta
Mr Jolly was brilliant. All the Comic strip films were.
I'd vote for that
Yeah, do 'Mr. Jolly', its nuts.
P.Rick is a wonker
I agree with this assessment, signed Teacher.
All the bands that appeared on the show were the original groups.
Emma Thompson (now Dame Emma Thompson) has a list of credits as long as your arm. Professor Trelawney in the Harry Potter films and the title role in Nanny McPhee are the two that spring to mind, but there are loads of others. She is also an Oscar winning screenwriter (Sense and Sensibility was hers).
That's the best episode. It was Lemmy. The quiz show is a real show that's been going for probably 50 years. The reference to 'Bambi' was the host called Bamber Gasgoin.
Yep, it was called "college bowl" here in the states.
And Sick is a close second for me
The one were Neil gets planted is good too.
Real MOTÖRHEAD & a legendary TV appearance !
When Vyvyan sticks his head out of the train window and decapitates himself, his headless walking body is played by practical effects artist David Barton. Ade Edmondson stated Barton had the uncanny ability to tilt his head so far forward that from behind he looked headless!
Spot on about the budget, having a musical act changed the category of the program and allowed it to have a bigger budget….and yes that’s the real Lemmy, presumably the rest of the band were the real thing as well.
The lady was Emma Thompson, a pretty well known English actress most recently appeared as the Headmistress in the film Matilda.
Robbie Coltrane played Dr Samuel Johnson in a series of Blackadder, the man who’s dictionary they burned and had to re-write.
Footlights consisted of Ben Elton (standup comedian, author, and scriptwriter for a number of sitcoms, including Blackadder and The Young Ones), Emma Thompson (actress and double Oscar winner), Stephen Fry (actor who has appeared in numerous films and TV shows, for example Lord/General Melchett in Blackadder), and Hugh Lawrie (actor who also appeared in Blackadder as Prince/Lt. George, and as Dr Gregory House in House).
All this and Motörhead too. On a BBC budget. A minor miracle.
This would have to be my favourite episode of the show. I love the appearance by Motörhead in this episode and I love that song by them. I also love the appearances of Mel Smith and Griff Rhys Jones in this episode, those 2 and Rowan Atkinson were also in a great sketch show called Not the Nine O'clock News.
I like trucking and I like to truck. If you don't like trucking, tough luck!😂
Ade stuffing a whole bun in his face is a core memory for me :)
@@5imp1 Brilliantly written for a classic NTNOCN episode sequence,because uniquely Atkinson in real-life had a full HGV driving licence ! 😉
Was waiting to see your reaction to Vivian losing his head, arguing with it and then kick g it down the train tracks but you edited that out :-(
Same, best part of the episode. Thumbs down from me for that terrible editing choice.
@@Rocket1377 Possibly not able to or at least wary of posting the footage due to RUclips restrictions/censorship.
It was the real Motorhead with Lemmy. Lip synching to the original recording.
Best episode of season 2; Mötorhead were awesome!
lol its THE best episode!!!
Vegetable rights and peace! 😅
Was definitely Ian 'Lemmy' Kilmister, 'Fast' Eddie Clarke and Phil 'Philthy animal' Taylor. The most well known lineup of Motorhead. Pretty sure they are all dead now.
What, no decapatation scene!
The episode is called Bambi because the host of University Challenge was Bamber Gascoigne
I was about 5 when I first saw this episode and I burst out laughing when Vivian shoves the sandwich with cellophane in his mouth in one go and then gives the shop assistant the 2 fingers. To this day, I still burst out laughing.
My fave episode, i used to record loads of bits of this and mix them into music compilation tapes lol, like the "You Bumbag" bit, and repeat it a few times
I'm sure I read somewhere that The Young Ones included music so that it became a variety show and got them more money. Something like that.
Yes man this is the best episode, love this, the last episode is really good also shame you cut so much but still good, that was definitely motor head, best band they had on there, I've seen them 8 times they were great and lemmy is missed
You'll love SICK, best episode.
BTW, of COURSE It's Motorhead 🙄
i wondered if you would have to leave out the scene where vivian sticks his head out the train window
Ben Elton (one of the writers) on the posh team as the Trot with Fry,Laurie & Emma Thompson.
The tampon joke from interesting was better
Motorhead and Lemmy but not the classic, original line up, Lemmy, Fast Eddie and Philthy Animal.
“I’ve got a Porsche”
My favourite episode! I was waiting for this one...
It was a good one =]
👍😂😂😂❤
🎉🎉🎉🎉
It would be possible for Motorhead themselves to appear and lip-sync their song, a historically common practice in TV "performances".
It was Lemmy, but it was filmed 40 years ago! Cant believe you cut Vyv stealing the donut in the railway station and flipping the V's and SPG headbutting the Teddy bear!
Being a fan of young ones as a kid I became a fan of Motörhead, probably wouldn’t have without this appearance
100% Lemmy
Vivian getting his head chopped off scene was the funniest Young Ones moment
"This calls for a very special blend of psychology, and extreme violence!"
I've just realised right now: What ARE the health implications to an actual ELEPHANT in feeding it a sticky bun?
It was infact MOTORHEAD they had a band on "The Young Ones every week..
Give us an easy one BAMBI ya big bottom boil! 😂😂😂 i grew up watching this show on mtv in the 80s and this was always my favorite episode, mostly because of motorhead lol
Yea it was Lemmy and Motörhead 👍🏴
This was always one of my fave episodes! The matchbox and the giant eclair brought the absurd and motorhead ahh yes, still the most injured i have ever came out of a concert was when i saw motorhead live 🤟 ahh good times, good times!not to mentiin vyvian stuffing a whe donut in his gob then ✌😂😂😂
The bands are all real, yep. The second season had a heap of famous people (British famous anyway) cameo's.
You removed the "dont stick head out of the window - i wonder why?" - my favorite bit when i saw this as a kid.
My fave episode of the Young Ones and the first time I saw Motorhead - good times
Episodes 2 3 4 and 5 are the best season 2 episodes for me
That really is Motorhead! Also fun to see Hugh Laurie, Emma Thompson, Stephen Fry on the show.
Series 2 is when the young ones really got good! Way better than series 1
Yeah it was Motörhead... a big deal at the time. Madness were also on there.
There’s bands in the episodes from now on as you’re right that at the time they had a bigger budget for entertainment shows which they could be if they had a band on… all genuine bands… look out for the damned and madness among others
Dude, it was Motorhead already...
Would really love to see your reaction to the Comic Relief record The Young Ones made with Cliff Richard called, "Living Doll". They also did a live version of this, which is hilarious. They performed this skit with Bob Geldoff as well. It's well worth a watch.
Great idea. I loved that song. What about 'Neil'had a song out called 'hole in my shoe'
@@richardbritain7435 OH that one too. As well as Alexei Sayle with "Ullo John, Got a new Motor?".
LOL that was the real lemmy and Motörhead.
Haha human beings the size of amoebas
it was lemmy and the band. original
That was Motorhead alright.
It was Motorhead in the flesh.
And yes - that was motorhead.
yes it was motorhead
This episode was significant in that they were joined by comedians from (posh and elitist) Cambridge/Oxford. Alexei Sayle cites this as the moment alternative comedy died and was subsumed into the mainstream. He asked why the likes of High Laurie, Stephen Fry and Emma Thompson were appearing when they were "the enemy" politically. In fact I think he wasn't in this episode.
He's the train driver
@@Lord_Narcowookie Of course, forgot.
that was Lemmy
Yes it was the man lemmy he was quit young then
Yes, only 38
yes that was lemmy .all the bands on the show are the actual bands 😅.remember lemmy will look younger than what you’ve seen maybe with the wrestling .yes that’s emma thompson hollywood actress.she went to collage with fry and lorry.
a shame you didn’t show some of vivian losing his head on the train but i get why.
Thanks for a great reaction. I love this episode. Yes, that was definitely Lemmy. I saw them live back in 1998. Most episodes featured well known bands of the time. It was also Bamber Gasgoine (Bambbi) who was the actual host of University Challenge. I have to say they got some pretty big names in this show.
It's Griff Rhys Jones as Bambi, though.
@@Jacob_Junge I feel really stupid now, should have guessed lol!
@@jimmybisk Don't feel too bad, it is a VERY good impression.
@@Jacob_Junge Yes, it certainly is. Plus I guess I can only just remember Bamber Gascoigne on University Challenge!
I think this was the most star filled episode they did. They guy with the microscope - Hagrid from harry potter. The posh kid that thought he was the richest - TV star in V - for Vandetta, Did you miss Dr House ?
It was Lemmy and Motorhead. Did you notice future Oscar winner, Emma Thompson there?
Robbie Coltrane is the doctor, Tony Robinson (Baldrick) is the guy who brings in the elephant, Stephen Fry is a contestant, Hugh Laurie is a contestant, Ben Elton (one of the two screenwriters) is a contestant, Motörhead is the band, and this is probably the most iconic episode in the entire series.
That was Lemmy and that was Motorhead. Phil Taylor the drummer had left the band by the time this had been recorded, but came back for a one off to perform as they were between drummers at the time.
Emma Thompson, Nanny McPhee. She usually appears in absolute horrific films.
yes it is motorhead lol
Footlights is the name of a comedy society formed by students of Cambridge University. Most of the guest stars of this episode were once part of that group, including Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie, Griff Rhys Jones, Emma Thompson (and the real Bamber Gascoigne). The name of the rival college is a reference to that.
Wrong,Griff Rhys Jones was 'Bambi',the spoof (self-titled) episode character-parody of the real Univ.Challenge's Bamber Gascoigne {who was nowhere near there!]
P.S. Jones' comedy duo partner Mel Smith was the doorman ! 👌👍
Motorhead were formed recently enough there that there were no impersonators
Twas the Kilmeister!
