| The Young Ones (TV series) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (3573 words) |
 | The Young Ones was a British sitcom about four students sharing a house: cheerfully violent punk rocker Vyvyan (Adrian Edmondson), shrill friendless anarchist Rick (Rik Mayall), longsuffering hippy Neil (Nigel Planer), and the undersized Mike (Christopher Ryan). |
| The theme tune to the series was the cast singing the Cliff Richard song "Young Ones"; there are also many references to Richard, who is Rick's idol, an ironic contrast to Richard's "old granny" image. |
| This was atypical of many sitcom endings, as it ended the show's popularity on a high, without a loss of good ideas, storylines, or jokes, and allowed the cast and writers to move on to new projects before they became too typecast. |
