For the benefit of non-UK readers, this show – The Young Ones – is (now) venerated as the show which launched alternative comedy in the UK. At the time it first aired (mid-Eighties) it was widely regarded as poor taste.
Formerly Stroke Survivor UK. Designed/developed IT systems for banks, but had a stroke in 2016, aged 48. Returned to developing from home, plus do some voluntary work. Married, with a grown-up, left-home daughter.

I couldn’t stand this programme but often had to sit through it as the boys’ dad and his pals liked it. It was too stupid and far-fetched for me, which was the point, I know. It just grated on me.
LOVE it š. I often feel like that haha

It nade a big splash here, but I suppose comedy must be one of the most difficult things to travel. They had songs in the charts, even.

You can say what you like, but there is nothing better than good black British humour

I don’t know if it in pore taste, it’s just another kind of humor.

OMG!! I loved that show. British humour always finds a home here in Australia! It was indeed poor taste, but oh-so-funny.

Hhm! Yes, I do remember. I was a few years older than you at the time and I just couldn’t understand what all the lads were laughing at.
