Bottom won't now be back, apparently:

 

Bottom sequel Hooligan's Island scrapped - News - British Comedy Guide

 

Hooligan's Island, the previously confirmed sequel to early 1990s hit Bottom, has been cancelled.

 

The project, a follow-up to the cult hit BBC Two sitcom that originally broadcast from 1991 to 1995, was officially announced by the BBC in August, to be based on the hit touring show, Bottom Live 3: Hooligan's Island.

 

A co-production between the BBC's in-house comedy department and Phil McIntyre Entertainment, the six-part series was expected to broadcast in 2013, written by and starring Adrian Edmondson and Rik Mayall.

 

However, it has now been publicly confirmed that the series has been cancelled. Edmondson told BBC Radio Essex at the weekend: "We started working on something and we realised why we stopped working together. It wasn't working."

 

Edmondson, who walked out of the project, seemed slightly cagey as to why: "Because I enjoy other things more.

 

"I'm aware that people think comedy's easy to do and write and everything, and it relatively is to be honest. But once you get to a certain age you want to do things you really enjoy, not just things you can do."

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

Eddie: Uhh... let's haggle.

Pawnbroker: OK, a quid.

Eddie: No, let's haggle upwards.

Pawnbroker: OK, 50p!

Eddie: God, they don't call you Harry The Bastard for nothing, do they?

Pawnbroker: No. They call me Ted.

Episode: Parade

Eddie talking to a (real!) Falklands veteran

Eddie: So what did you do?
Veteran: Well, I'd rather not talk about it.
Eddie: Why not, is it embarrassing? Shit your pants, did you? Cried, did you?
Veteran: Quite the opposite, actually!
Eddie: What, you sucked water in through your eyes?

Just watched the Christmas episode with the baby ("Gold, Frankenstein and Grrr!") and I was wondering if the baby had been in anything else.

 

According to IMDb, he turned up in The Whole Nine Yards, playing a 74 year old black Canadian jazz bassist.
