One thing l love about the young ones is that they didn’t try to cash in an make more episodes after its become a cult following. The difference between American and English tv is that English shows pack more into each episode because there seasons are short. While American shows have to spread out the story over 20 something episodes.
Adrian Gomez Nothing wrong with China or Thailand,but DM's should be made in Northampton the same way swiss army knives are made in Switzerland,its sad that an increasing number of once unique products are being churned out of the same industrial conurbations .
I knew Id heard a song about the boots and had to look it up. Had to be these maniacs 😂 love this show to pieces. hadnt watched for years and bought the DVD recently. watching it this week for sure
"You'd think Devil Woman" had never been written?-Rik.Don't you love how he brings up songs that have nothing to do with fighting social injustice, all for his Cliff Richard fandom? :D
Had they not driven off of that...urgh, I hate to make the pun... _cliff_ in the last episode, Rik would likely be working some low-level office job for the Conservative party now. Mike would manage a game room/slot machine hall, Vyv would be either a PA, male nurse or full-blown physician and Neil...would be Neil.
Well he'd better be good this Norman Tebbitt. I doubt poor Norman realised this would be the reason anyone remember him at all. Poor bastard. Oh and Doc Martens never retailed for nineteen quid in Australia. It was more like ten times this
Well, pounds are worth 2x dollars roughly, so we are already looking at forty 1983 Australian dollars. It still sounds too cheap though, although $400 is an exaggeration.
So, twenty pounds? Well, when I was a kid a pound was a few dollars, right? And those dollars (good twenty cent dollars!) would probably be five dollars now, maybe more. So??? A few hundred 2020 dollars, roughly? These boots might be CHEAPER now, in real terms!
Got high for one of the first times as a teen and watched this. Totally lost it laughing but there were parents upstairs..... woke up sore the next morning....
I've watched this show so many times, my favorite parts are when Alexi roars in and throws everything into confusion. I like the way he yells, I guess.
These days I live in Docs, and every time I acquire a nice pair of them online (strictly Made In England, mate) I feel compelled to play this here upload. As it happens, my most recent pair are 5-eyelet 7751's, which may indeed be what Alexi's wearing. Docs which don't have the yellow stitching, in any case.
Small batches of Docs are still made at the UK factory. Available in the US but 300 bucks a pair ( yeah, i bought a pair of ruboff chelsea boots, personally i think theyre worth as it as theyll last a long time )
A David Bowie song reference in ”I BELIEVE” the middle of it ”dancing in the 😂streets”, God i loved this series, brilliant. I believe i’m trying to squeeze in but the iPhone refuses too. Still, THE YOUNG ONES! 🎉❤
I've had this on my mp3 player for YEARS and it never gets old. I have the lyrics but there's one thing that I can't quite get - the bit where he says ".. they're classless matchless ageless and waterproof and retail for only 19 pounds and 99p.." OK every lyric I can find reckons "ageless" but unless it's his accent, I can't hear that? Anyone out there got an insight? All I can hear is "heef-a-jiss" hahaha I just can't get that one word D:
Jamie Rose You clearly don't get it. People had a great self-distance - even in regards to supposedly noble beliefs. Today it has become some crusade against anything remotely juste because everybody takes everything very seriously indeed. Guess what the reactionary stiffs who mock social justice were equally mocked but at the time it was mostly older people.
It's always something to be mocked and parodied. It's just more pathetic that they're so lacking in logic (and to them feelings matter more than facts) that they have no sense of humour -everything is offensive and racist/sexist/ist/ist/... Even though they're primarily the cause of the offensive and the bigotry.
The band have no bloody clue what is going on hahahaha History is what is happening, fellas, though no-one could have know it back then. 20 quid, the cost of the boots, was a small fortune 37 years ago, btw
I'm sitting here, not liking the song like when i was a kid, 40 years later, thinking "british handmade dr martens boots, 19.99? Someone has been lying about inflation."
Thirty years on and whenever I see a pair of Doc Martens, the first thing I think of is "Doctor Martens, Doctor Martens, Doctor Martens BOOTS!"
a trick: you can watch movies on kaldroStream. I've been using it for watching loads of movies during the lockdown.
@Cory Kylen yea, I have been using kaldrostream for since november myself :D
Same here....
Perfectly normal.
This series was aired in the early 1980's...more like 40 years.
I never realized that Dr. Martins boots had united us all, but I guess he's right.
Yeah lol
I love my Dr. Martins boots 😆
Fascists and antifa have something in common 😂
Not until 1992, though
@@piffiiiiiiit Antifa ARE fascists... they are funded by Corporations.
Still brings back great memories, they were ahead of their time!

"My name is 'Alexei Yuri Gagarin Siege of Stalingrad Glorious Five-Year Plan Sputnik Tractor Moscow Dynamo Back Four Balowski.'" 😂😂
Me dad was a bit of a Communist, you know what I mean?
And that was the edited version...
Stuff the revolution, where's my 200 quid?
RIP Rik Mayall:(
No my fave character
(P)RICK
I once had a cat named Sputnik and I eventually started calling him “Glorious Five-year Plan.” I don’t think he got it.

£69.99 a pair now and made in Thailand too....if that's not reason to rise up and burn someones room i don't know what is .
It's the boots! They've taken control!!!
in the states we get ours for $115 docs made in china.
Adrian Gomez Nothing wrong with China or Thailand,but DM's should be made in Northampton the same way swiss army knives are made in Switzerland,its sad that an increasing number of once unique products are being churned out of the same industrial conurbations .
Edward Corran I'm more pissed off at people trying to sell me $5 boots for more then 500%
Edward Corran second that. Just bought a pair of MIE for that very reason.
This song was hilarious, Dr Martens boots is such a uniting force
I'm wearing a pair right now
I knew Id heard a song about the boots and had to look it up. Had to be these maniacs 😂 love this show to pieces. hadnt watched for years and bought the DVD recently. watching it this week for sure
My darling Rik! Immortal beloved!

Rik in the Conservative Party? I find that hard to believe.
Oh come on, Rik was as phony as a three dollar bill. He'd cave in a second (see the episode "Money" ).
thedungeondelver
Are you sure you don't mean "Cash." I'll check it out, but one think you have to admit, he was certainly a wannabe.
Yes! Thank you, "Cash" was the episode.
Stuff the revolution. Where´s my two hundred quid?
Love it!
Hypocrisy of communism, lol
'Now...don't you want me?'
XD
80's flashbackgasm!
Hysterical. Love this scene
I love that piano solo
Yeah, s'very Ultravox meets Joy Division.
it's like a cross between the sex pistols and genesis
How dare you?!
My partner can't refer to them without singing "Dr Martens, Dr Martens, Dr Martens boots!" as loud as he can...
'No, don't you want me'. 🤣
Well he'd better be good this Norman Tebbitt. I doubt poor Norman realised this would be the reason anyone remember him at all. Poor bastard. Oh and Doc Martens never retailed for nineteen quid in Australia. It was more like ten times this
So who the heck _is_ Norman Tebbitt?? I've never heard of him.
@@crystalidentity Ah, found him...

Well, pounds are worth 2x dollars roughly, so we are already looking at forty 1983 Australian dollars. It still sounds too cheap though, although $400 is an exaggeration.
Love this song, i want a pair of doc martens just because of this song :)
I want a pair of wanker Fists
A palm tree a checker pattern and a bust of David is all this need ahhhhhhhhhh aesthetic
0:35 the subtle humour in Alexi looking like he’s doing the solidarity fist when he’s actually making the wanker motion
I didn't know it looked like a solidarity fist. Isn't it usually held high with your arm in the air?
I wish they were still only 19.99!! Love the vid btw
So, twenty pounds? Well, when I was a kid a pound was a few dollars, right? And those dollars (good twenty cent dollars!) would probably be five dollars now, maybe more. So??? A few hundred 2020 dollars, roughly? These boots might be CHEAPER now, in real terms!
This was how I remembered the show back then when MTV syndicated from the BBC
Same here
_"...stuff the revolution ..where's by 200 quid!?..."_
Mad .... I love it!
why is this song not in doc marten commercials XD
"I hate that expression!"
"Yes...it's just the sort of vegetablist comment you'd expect from an oppressive dictator."
Got high for one of the first times as a teen and watched this. Totally lost it laughing but there were parents upstairs..... woke up sore the next morning....
😂😂
the fifth room mate is back there!!!

You mean the pic of Jertzy? Or Vyvvyan's skeleton?
Sayle, gotta luv'm ...the British Belushi
I've watched this show so many times, my favorite parts are when Alexi roars in and throws everything into confusion. I like the way he yells, I guess.
Very funny guy Alexi
Still Love a pair of Docs every now and then...............let's face it they last for fucking years!!
Gavin Morgan I’ve still got my pair I’ve owned since 1999.
I bought a Pair of Docs from Hot Topic in 1997. They still are in great shape and are still awesome!
I can't see a pair of martens without thinking about this.
All along I thought racial harmony was sitting side by side on pianos but really it’s all about Doc Marten’s.
VIVA EL PRESIDENTE!
You fascist junta!
Love how he brought up Ebony and Ivory, the song by Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson
Stevie Wonder ... they look all the same to you huh?
Just buy Solovair Boots. They are made in England and the company that makes them used to make Dr Martens Boots under contract anyway.
Alexei is so frickin' adorable! 😆
Love singing this to my niece, shoe love them boots
Shoe... That's funny.
In Australia,NSW, Sydney.. there is a shop called Raben shoes and do a good pair of dr martens..which are a take on them.
These days I live in Docs, and every time I acquire a nice pair of them online (strictly Made In England, mate) I feel compelled to play this here upload. As it happens, my most recent pair are 5-eyelet 7751's, which may indeed be what Alexi's wearing. Docs which don't have the yellow stitching, in any case.
telebob59. Made in England by foreign underpaid people
Small batches of Docs are still made at the UK factory. Available in the US but 300 bucks a pair ( yeah, i bought a pair of ruboff chelsea boots, personally i think theyre worth as it as theyll last a long time )
3:11 Turned into The Human League for a second
It's like one big kind of...empty room here, yeah!!
OI! OI! OI!
Wish Alexi was still at it. Habitat pine scatter cushions??????? Love him
fluorosco. Whats that?
I was "friends" with him on FB until a few years ago when I cancelled myself
No lie truth
@@jmpsthrufyre That's brilliant.
Easily my favourite funny man.
So bad it's hilarious. Love the Young Ones
0:27 where did the peas go?! people who know this episode know what i'm talking about
i know doesnt he say i h8 that phrase to the other pea?
Oh right yes vegtablist comment
Thanks 👍😘🇸🇪
brilllll
Amen to That)
Balowski should do an album 😜
It's true. If he didn't have any ideas, he could just make some stupid noises.
So a pair of DM boots cost 20 quid in 1982, that's about 70 quid in today's money but DMs cost close in 200 quid now
20 bucks? My last pair of docs cost almost $130 and that was a decade ago. I think we need another revolution
£20 is not twenty "bucks".
Don't
Don't you want me
Lol!
No one would buy them if the were made in Scunthorpe, would they.
ABBA? ABBA??
They cut the TWO PEAS puppet gag!!!!! What gives ???
He better be good this Norman Tebbitt.
Stuff yer revolution where's my 200 quid.
I've only got 50p!

Ah the 80s, when social justice was something to be ruthlessly mocked and parodied.
And people had a sense of humour...
