Best episode of The Young Ones?

[CaptainWacky]

I was thinking 'Sick' becasue it feels the most epic: it starts with them all, well, sick, evolves into a street riot (with Madness playing!), then a hostage situation (with Vyv's mother visiting!), then onto Niel's parents coming round, then an episode of The Good Life, then Rik murdering Niel. That's a lot of things.

But also 'Summer Holiday' is a pretty awesome final episode and probably the last time Lenny Henry was ever funny and has the classic (to me anyway) "Elephanthead" moment.

Bambi

The episode that I can remember vividly enough (which must mean it's my favorite) is "Cash" where Neil becomes a cop and Vyvyan is "pregnant".

Come on in, take the tit off your head.

I admit Bambi was the one I remembered most.

"Flood" was also one of my favourites as I remember the end scene so well. At the time I thought the Jaws reference with the hamster on the can of lager was incredibly clever.

But then again (having researched, I admit) "Boring" is a very good episode. I loved the Devil "Ftumch" and Vyvyan's mother.

Sick, by a country mile.

They're all great, really!
