Imagine a very very funny Looney Tunes style, extremely slapstick violent sitcom, but R or 18 rated and then add a dash of hard satire and total disrespect for TV formats and societal authority.
Then, on top of that, throw in a bunch of comedy actors at their absolute peak and you get a sense of what the Young Ones is.
Make no mistake this is punk rock sitcom par excellence and like its musical counterpart it's almost impossible to replicate now without feeling derivative.
My own student house was exactly like this.
It's a rare programme but it really was revolutionary at the time.
