ah yes! Motorhead! I've heard of them but never really got into their music. Loved that clip though! Thanks for sharing. :) Definitely some great advice! And YES! I can totally see why it's an iconic episode 😆

Been waiting for this! 😄 Definitely the most iconic episode...the one that people mention all the time anyway! It showcased the two emerging sides of British comedy at the time: The Young Ones, representative of the new British 'Punk' Alternative Comedy scene, against comedians who represented the new "Oxbridge" Comedy Scene (Definetly didn't copy that from wikipedia *shhhhhh*). The last member of Footlights is Ben Elton: Actor, comedian, author, and more. He co-wrote for Young Ones, Mr. Bean, and the majority of Blackadder starting from Series 2, with Richard Curtis. Once again surprised that someone going through life, hasn't heard the 'Ace of Spades' song before, your blowing my mind girl 🤯😆 Performed by the band Motörhead. Alas, who have all passed on now. Lemmy himself was a true legend: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skGEBgePHtk

This is my very favorite Episode which I count 8 cameos in it, As you pointed out, Stephen Fry, Emma Thompson, and Hugh Laurie, also Smith and Jones, you probaby knew Robbie Contraine, Ben Elton and Tony Robinson (Yes Baldrick) as Dr.Not the nine o'clock news. It seen apt that an Elephant was in as the 12th is World Elephant day 🐘, I have been waiting for all year for you to see Vivian lean out of the window. Plus Motorhead :):). This was a wonderful reaction Megan.
