Join Rik, Vyv, Neil and Mike in their crazy and surreal comedy adventures! desertcart.co.uk Review It’s fair to say that when The Young Ones first blasted onto television screens, there’d never been anything quite like it. Yet the manic adventures of Rik, Neil, Vyvyan and Mike didn’t take long to gain an audience, and over 25 years later, the programme still enjoys a well-deserved cult-following. Both series of The Young Ones are grouped together in this special DVD set, and there’s plenty to enjoy. In among the violence, the anarchic comedy, and the wonderful childishness of it all, are many, many belly laughs. How about when The Young Ones represented Scumbag College on University Challenge, for instance? Or Alexei Sayle’s Balowski family? Or the occasional break so a band could be worked in to play a song? The influence of The Young Ones has been notable since it was first broadcast, not least in the spawning of its sequel-of-sorts, Bottom. Yet the two series here prove to be far more than an opportunity to see where a particular strand of comedy really began to gather pace. Instead, they still provide many bellies full of laughs, and it’s arguable that, in spite of the imitators it spawned, nothing has come close to The Young Ones since. And this DVD collection more than proves the point. --Jon Foster Review: So funny - Best ever Review: The Definitive Release - If you’re thinking of buying this set then you already know how great the content is, and how important this show is to the history of British television comedy and alternative comedy in general. What you want to know is whether or not it’s worth buying - again - on another format. Well the episodes are presented exactly as broadcast without the subsequent edits and omissions that have occurred on some other home media releases and streaming services over the decades. The only difference is that the location film sequences for series two have been restored and re-scanned and rebuilt in high definition from the original film stock and so you may or may not notice how much sharper and clearer those sections are than the upscaled old videotape recordings throughout the rest of the series. The rest of the series looks and sounds as good as it ever can. It was shot on open reel analogue videotape using 576-line television cameras that were somewhat vintage even by 1982/1984 standards, and editing analogue videotape causes a further reduction in quality so the pictures are somewhat low-res with a variety of image artefacts typical of electronic video cameras of the time. It’s still better than the VHS or DVD copies but until AI technology gets seriously miraculous this Blu-ray set represents the best possible quality that we’re ever going to get from those old classic recordings. You also get to see the outtakes and the usual extras that are tacked on to these releases for the completist. If you’re happy with your DVD box set then I don’t think you’ll get too much from this. If you’re an archival collector and are interested in the HD restoration of old SD TV classics then I would say this is worthy of a space on your shelf and you’ll love seeing bits of the Young Ones in true HD. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000VA3J70 | | Actors | Adrian Edmondson, Alexei Sayle, Christopher Ryan, Nigel Planer, Rik Mayall | | Audio Description: | English | | Best Sellers Rank | 1,482 in DVD & Blu-ray ( See Top 100 in DVD & Blu-ray ) 172 in Television (DVD & Blu-ray) 235 in Box Sets (DVD & Blu-ray) 246 in Comedy (DVD & Blu-ray) | | Customer reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (2,078) | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 5014503223625 | | Language | English | | Media Format | PAL | | Number of discs | 3 | | Product Dimensions | 20 x 16 x 3 cm; 220 g | | Release date | 29 Oct. 2007 | | Run time | 6 hours and 50 minutes | | Studio | 2entertain | | Subtitles: | English | ## Product Details - **Format:** PAL - **Genre:** Television|Comedy - **Language:** English - **Number of discs:** 3 ## Images ![The Young Ones - Series 1-2 [DVD] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81QLtEfrjWL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So funny *by C***G on 28 February 2026* Best ever ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Definitive Release *by P***D on 7 June 2025* If you’re thinking of buying this set then you already know how great the content is, and how important this show is to the history of British television comedy and alternative comedy in general.

Good upscale image, a must for Mayall fans. R.I.P *by J***T on 11 July 2025* Classic memories from my youth. Nicely cleaned up and sharper than expected for an upscale. Slightly disappointed in the extras. Hardly any Rik. But a must for any Mayall or Comic Strip fans. Now do the same for Bottom please. Upscale and release Blu Ray. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Young Ones - Series 1-2 [DVD] - Bottom - Series 1-3 [DVD] - Fawlty Towers - The Complete Collection (Remastered) [DVD] [1975] --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/50710352-the-young-ones-series-1-2-dvd](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/50710352-the-young-ones-series-1-2-dvd) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
