    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson originally planned to call the series 'Your Bottom' - so that viewers would be heard to say such things as, "I saw Your Bottom on television last night". They finally considered simply 'Bottom' because they "liked the shape of the word" and the obvious association with "bottom jokes", but also to reflect the show's premise of "two guys at the bottom of the heap". They kept the title when they heard that the head of BBC2 disliked it.
    • Goofs
      In the episode 'Apocalypse', Eddie (disguised as the grim reaper) states that he doesn't know how to play chess, and Richie says that he will teach him. However, in the later episode 'Culture', it is the other way around - Eddie knows how to play chess, and Richie does not.
    • Quotes
      • Eddie: This is a sex shop isn't it?
      • Shop Assistant: Yes.
      • Eddie: [slaps money down] I'll have five quid's worth then!
      • Shop Assistant: Very droll sir, I've never heard that one before.
      • Eddie: Haven't you? Shall I tell it again?
      • Shop Assistant: No thank you sir, I'd rather have a pineapple inserted violently into my rectum.
      • Eddie: You've been working here too long mate.
    • Crazy credits
      During the closing credits of the Series 3 opening show 'Hole' Eddie is heard shouting "Woo Hoo!" and Richie is heard screaming which confirms Richie and Eddie both survived falling from the Ferris wheel.
