Ran for 3 seasons over 4 years.
It focused on Eddie and Richie, two desperate, crude, perverted and unemployed flatmates.
This violent, slapstick comedy was ranked 45th in a BBC poll for Britain’s best Sit-com.
Eddie and Richie are two pathetic, sex-crazed, slobby flatmates living in a filthy, damp flat at 11 Mafeking Parade in Hammersmith, London.
They spend their time concocting desperate schemes to convince women to have sex with them, including buying sex spray, forging money, and pretending to be aristocrats.
Their plans are never successful, however, and the stress of their miserable lives can cause them to become irritable with each other.
Whenever tensions hit a breaking point, Richie and Eddie end up fighting.
Both men are immature. Richie is a virgin; he is insecure and clueless on how to talk to women. Despite being a penniless slob, he occasionally projects a pompous sort of snobbery in an attempt to impress others and boost his self-esteem; he is sexually frustrated and obsessed with losing his virginity.
Eddie, the more popular of the two, enjoys drinking regularly, and often secretly steals family heirlooms and cash from Richie, although he occasionally has inventive moments, like building a cash forger, an electric toilet, and a time machine.
Really, the older I get the more puerile this show is.
Though I suppose it could be called light comedy worthy of watching when there is nowt more to view.
