Written by admin on December 11, 2009
What 80s fan can forget the exploits of Mike, Neil, Rik and Vyvvyan or perhaps Edmund, Baldrick, Percy and/or George? Two classic British TV shows, “The Young Ones” and “The Black Adder” have new editions out on DVD — great gifts for the connoisseur of fine British comedy in your life.
The brand new Black Adder Remastered: The Ultimate Edition not only contains every episode of the four regular seasons of the show, the DVD set also has:
- Blackadder Back and Forth
- Blackadder’s Christmas Carol
- Blackadder: The Cavalier Years
- New commentary from cast members and producers
- Baldrick’s Video Diary
- and Blackadder Rides Again, an hour-long 25th anniversary episode
Black Adder Remastered is available at our Revenge of the 80s Amazon Store
Since its 2007 release, The Young Ones Extra Stoopid Edition has been a staple for the Christmas Stocking. The 12-episode series follows Mike, Rik, Vyvvyan and Neil as they discover oil, find a cure for not being a homicidal axe-wielding maniac, hold a bomb for ransom and play University Challenge against the posh kids. Alexei Sayle is also brilliant as the entire Belowski family. There are also guest appearances by the likes of Dawn French, Jennifer Saunders, Hugh Laurie and the late David Rappaport (Ftumch).
The Young Ones Extra Stoopid Edition is also available at our Amazon Store. Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and Happy Holidays to all of you from Revenge of the 80s Radio
