[on
The Young Ones (1982)] There's only 12 episodes of it, that's what's extraordinary. 12 episodes and it seems to have had a long-term effect. And at the time I was in a show called
Shine on Harvey Moon (1982), the Neil thing with a wig over the top of an RAF haircut. There was one night, very, very cold, one Friday night, and
Shine on Harvey Moon (1982) had, I think, 17 million viewers, and
The Young Ones (1982) was on the Thursday and had maybe one and half million viewers, and yet if I walked out in the street nobody recognises me from Harvey Moon and everybody still says "Neil".
