This is Rik Mayall and Ade Edmondsons fifth Bottom live show, and this one is, as always, worth a watch - especially if you are a fan of the two immature old boys :) I won't recommend it for a first time Bottom live show watcher, since this one is weaker than the first three live shows, and not nearly as much fun. But then again it's not as "weak/bad" as the fourth, An Arse Oddity. But not to worry, there's still quite a few memorable moments that make you laugh out loud (for example the scene with "The Evacuator" ... which is a clever little device to be used in stead of a toilet ... Richie is of course the one who test drives it - trust me, this scene will leave your in tears with laughter) - and this live show does contain one of their best and most impressive scenes - the one where they travel 30 minutes back in time with Eddies invented time machine "The Turdis". Thereafter they fast forward those 30 minutes, which means they have to reenact the 30 minutes they have already acted once, and they do this in a very VERY fast pace. I was really impressed with this stunt as it must have taken a REALLY long time to choreograph into perfection. Well - to the plot: In this live show Eddie has invented several thing: The "Time Machine" (The Turdis") i've just mentioned, "Weapons Grade Lager" and "The Patent Painless Tattoo-Remover". And that's pretty much the plot... What other thing, that happens in this show I will leave as a surprise. It's worth a watch, but don't watch it with too high expectation, because this one is not their funniest work.

I have watched every Bottom Live show and own copies of three of them. This is the least good of the lot. I say least good instead of worst because it is still extremely funny. I do think it could have done with a better ending though. Overall I think it was very funny and I can watch it over and over just as I have done with the others. It falls short of the others by only getting 7 out of 10 to the 9 and aboves but still a very worthy effort.

I found out purely by coincidence on imdb that this was out, didn't know...ordered it from amazon.co.uk and had it three days later..This is yet another masterpiece of a show...personally I think they started to focus a little TOO much on butt-jokes, but it's ok.. It's no news ofcourse, but it's gotten a little too anal focused now...but it's no problem, it's still one hell of a joyride, and I still give it 10/10 although I still prefer the older stuff a little bit more..Rik and Ade is still empowered like hell, you can see they're not totally young anymore, but atleast they have not sold out like to many genious geezers before them once they start to fear not being able to each the cash they need...these guys are still going strong, and all I wish could for, was that they would take their live shows around the world, and not JUST in the UK....I would literally kill to see these guys live!

The two loser's on the stain on underwear of life Richie and Eddie return with their un-orthadox, crazy, and disgusting knob gags, in this sellout UK tour that left audiences laughing, me included, as I went to see it LIVE and got it on DVD.After spending 15 days in the lavatory, Eddie has invented some of the most....useless contraptions in the history of man, based on ideas conceived by Richie's uncle. A giant toaster, painful tattoo remover, and weapons grade alcohol. But his most brilliant idea, and time machine made out of the toilet, which Eddie has dubbed....'The Turdis'. Together they travel through time and space trying to get to the bar before the audience does, but with bad consequences.The story, though sounding extremely, EXTREMELY far-fetched, is another great comedy classic made by the slapstic kings Rik Mayall and Ade Edmondson, and the fight scenes, though obviously fake, still pack in the laughs.Another definate great from the duo, and I would love it if they returned in two years with another show, because an after 13 years, from their first episode in 1991, to their first Live show, their debut film, to the present, I feel they still have what it takes, to make great comedy.
