1.2 The Young Ones Explained

All British Comedy Explained… to Abigoliah Schamaun, by Tom Salinsky

1.2: The Young Ones. Released 23 October 2025.

The first full expression of the anarchic style of alternative comedy was BBC2’s The Young Ones. 12 episodes were broadcast between 1982 and 1984 and they’re all currently available on iPlayer. The show made stars of Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson and kickstarted Ben Elton’s career as a comedy writer.
