    Really hope it works, I think they left it long enough that with the right script it could be as funny as the originals. But you do run the risk of looking like youre flogging a dead horse

    Flogging a dead horse might be a good idea for an episode....literally

    I've heard it may be based around Hooligan's Island

    My gf is happy about this, she made me watch it but I didn't find it funny mostly

    This has really made my day, favourite show ever! Never thought we'd get anymore episodes. Hope it lives up to the original 3 series.

    The last couple of live shows were a bit average, but they've not done any of those for a while so hopefully they've got some new ideas. Can't wait!

    Spent most of my teenage years dropping quotes from the original shows into everyday conversation, probably much to the annoyance of whoever I was talking to.

    Can't help feeling it's a bit like a once great band getting back together years later to record new material. It's probably not going to be that good, but there's always hope!

    Found it funny as a child, it will be interesting to see if I still find it funny now.

    Do your balls hang low, can you swing them to and for...

    yes they were gunned down by the SAS after trying to blackmail tony blair.

    but then the young ones blew up in a bus yet somehow survived so I'm sure they'll completely gloss over the fact.

    Those two are obviously a bit short of cash.

    I very much doubt it, rik went on to do more than his fair share of work after bottom while adrian is a writter and married to jenifer saunders who is cakey enough for the two of them.

    I thought they died at the end of most of the episodes in series 3, they definitely died in the burning ferris wheel

    Prefered The Young Ones.... which I would make a point of watching.
    Bottom had a few good laughs in it so it was worth watching from time to time but not with the same level of expectation.

    They were trying to blackmail John Major - that's how long ago it was!

    Sky plussed a few of these on UK Gold as I thought it was brilliant as a 14 year old, and funnily enough I thought it was brilliant as a 34 year old.

    Stone Roses and Bottom reforming in the same year, marvellous.

    I'll look out for it, but to be honest, I thought slapstick was dead.
    Hoping for the best; expecting nothing at all.

    My funniest Bottom moment (ooer), was one of the live DVD's recorded in Southampton, when Ade Edmondson reveals off script that he was born in Southampton, hence the crowd going mad, then him and Rick Mayall do this whole ad lib thing for a few minutes, genius.
