Adrian Edmondson | Carpool 

Breaks my heart watching this now, knowing the 'Old Man Bottom' will never happen.

Listening to Ade talk about the possibility of doing more comedy with Rik is now Heartbreaking :( Rest In Peace Mr Mayall

As a child of the 80s, it's wonderful to be reminded how I used to tune to BBC2 on a Tuesday at 9pm to watch either The Young Ones or Red Dwarf. This was 1989. You two deserve good credit.

would loved to have seen Rik in Carpool. RIP

Kryten and Eddie, two of my favourite British characters.

"Edmonson with an O, you CONT!" I think I just wet myself. Even the second time I'm crying with laughter. This Carpool, Stephen Fry's and Tim Vines are my absolute favourites. Do more!

two actors from two of my favourite comedy shows of all time.

He'll always be Vyvyan to me.

Vivian is one of my favorite characters of all time. I still watch reruns of The Young Ones to this day.

'My name is Vim Fuego! I let my guitar speak for me!' We love you here out west, over in the States, Mr. Edmondson. Always excellent to see your interviews! :)

This was by far my favourite carpool of all. Both of you are by far my favourite actors who shaped my childhood and my sense of humour! (oh dear?) Haha! Either way, it would be lovely to see you two in more carpool or some form of watchable entertainment! Legends of the Era Lost! :)

There is nothing better than this kind of unscripted conversation between two people with stories to tell.

Adrian Edmondson is in Star Wars Episode 8. Brilliant!!!

I can't help but imagine him with the stars on the forehead.

If I ever find myself in a car with Robert Llewellyn, I'd start talking about "Scrapheap challenge" and how much I enjoyed watching that show, it's a shame it isn't around anymore.

Two of my most favourite actors.

Yes, his character was Mr. N. Stiles, a Falklands ex-serviceman who was at the bar in the episode of Bottom called "Parade". He is probably best known for playing Kryten in Red Dwarf. His name is Robert Llewellyn.

Such an underrated show, I wish there were a lot more

2:22-3:08 That would have been great to see. :(

Rik and Ade are so important in the world of comedy that it hurts my head to think about it. They're my generations Stan and Ollie that's for sure.

Its a shame Rik didn't get a chance to be on this, i can imagine the amount of laugh's :)

I spoke to Ade Edmondson on the phone once when I was working in a charity fundraising call-centre and Jennifer Saunders' name came up as a contact. And he was indeed lovely, even though he essentially told me to piss off.

I think Ade might have eventually done Bottom again, I think he had some oppurtunities that he wanted to take while he could and a Bottom revival at that time just wasn't where he wanted to go right then. I know that the BBC proposed a Hooligan's Island version for them and maybe that was what wasn't clicking for him just then. The idea of them being older and living together in their little flat sounds more appealing to me. Ade probably wishes he had done the show with Rik because even if it never got to air, he'd have spent more time with him working on it. It's a shame but no one would feel worse than Ade about not having taking that chance again, I'm sure.

Ade is a British icon.Love his work.

Wasn't he the Falklands veteran in the bottom episode where they pawn his leg to put a bet on a horse. He's got a much posher accent :) Love ade he's great or grate as rik would say. So sad to hear ade talking about rik now that he's no longer with us RIP Rik :(

Ade Edmonson was brilliant as Malvolio in the recent RSC production of Twelfth Night.

Is the driver the one in Bottom who lost a leg in the Falklands?

Ade seems like a really nice and cool guy.

Can not believe such a clear pass was not returned! 12:34. Bollards!... No, it's true! :-)

''Eddie...Eddie, 'What' 'it's the wrong leg''

Laughed my ass off at the rising bollards thing where he says he hasn't had that problem for a while! One of Ade Edmondsons serious roles was in a very good documentary about the Chernobyl disaster called Surviving disaster. Brilliant stuff.

"Did you spell Edmondson with a 'U'? It's 'Edmond-son', you Cont!! Hahaha! So sad watching the beginning when Ade says Rik and himself have a pipedream of wanting to do a Bottom when they're older. It's difficult to comprehend that we'll now never witness this with the sad passing of Rik. :(

adrian is such a funny guy !!!! i met him on Saturday he is such a lovely guy to talk to

A great 26 minutes ... ty for posting ... really enjoyed that ... but most of all ... r.i.p Rik M. xx

Love it ..greetings from Friesland The Netherlands

Old age is a privilege, not a given. Wish you well Ade.

awww two lovely guys together!

obviously Rik was a national treasure, and Rik and Ade together are legendary and adored eternally, but I always found myself drawn more to Adrian and his style of humor. I guess it's the stiff, relentless and cruel cynicism of his character that has an appeal.

Robert's point about twitter and online comments is absolutely spot on. The relative anonymity of the internet allows people to act like psychopaths. No matter how innocuous or benign your own comment is, people seem to get incredibly angry and abusive.

It was hilarious when Adrian kicked his own head down the railway line in The Young Ones.

Shame our beautiful Rik has gone, we love Ade ❤

'Do not lean out of tge window. I wonder why??!?'

.."they are going to try to rear end me.."..... "Oo-er!" ade, you amaze me.

These two should do a podcast

"Mum, are you Jennifer Saunders?" - superb.

thanks! and its about time they made a come back! and hopefuly do more tours like they did and the good thing is now im 20 and i can finaly go and see them live! XD

' Did you spell it with a 'u'?' 'Yeah' 'It's EdmOndson you cont!' Best bit! Love Ade!

At last! An episode with decent audio.

Sounds like we could of had OAP Bottom if it hadn't of been for Rik's untimely passing. Life is just not fair.

2 former members of Bottom. Ade needs a Red Dwarf role. He did appear in Star Wars. Tick. Krytens co-creator perhaps. Mad Genius a gimme.

I forgot he was on Bottom where he played the guy with the false leg. I must admit I was one of those people who felt that Ade stopped doing Bottom because he had grown out of it and wanted to do grown up stuff from now on. Now I know better.

I raise my own beef in Chagford! Ah,the world of the middle classes.

Checking in in 2020, Chicago suburbs. Love Ade, best wishes to you, you seem like an old friend. If we ever meet up, you'll see what I mean. Fare thee well, Rik.

Would loved to have seen Rik and Ade do one of these together!

My Dad used to do his Jag. I had Ade and Jennifer s number in Chagford

One greatest programs to never happen bottom in a nursing home 😢.

I remember Robert guesting in Bottom as the one-legged Falklands vet'. Hilarious!

Eddie! That's the wrong leg. Always makes me howl.

Ade and Rik are getting back together to do another series of Bottom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

note to Ade.. you were looking at houses in my area, Bridgwater, Somerset estate agents, circa 1994 :D

One of the most entertaining Carpools yet! So when is Rik going to make an appearance?

What a fascinating show. Love the concept.

Haahaa love Ade and Jennifer ;D

Absolutely, well said!

It's funny (strange) how that happens. Like with Russell Crowe, Keanu Reeves, River Phoenix, Johnny Depp and a whole host of others. They have this great acting career and all they want to do is live out their teenage fantasies.

Bobby, do a bottom episode with them! (if they continuing) you deserved more time!

12:18 HE SAID IT

Yes, well spotted

Thanks for the video. Do u know Brian Paul Edmondson ?

Kryten and Vim Fuego in a car. This is glorious

Sad to think Ade and Rik had plans for when they were old. Maybe resurrect some old characters. R.I.P Rik.

I'm not saying they will NEVER work together again, just that the dynamic between them is going to be a little different than it has been in the past. The two are still good friends, so the chemiostry between them will never change and they still write together, it's when they get on stage or in front of the cameras that things change slightly. Rik's timing and quick wit aren't what they used to be so fast paced exchanges like they used to do in their Dangerous Brothers act may be problematic.

I SO WISH FOR ANOTHER SERIES OF BOTTOM! SO MANY PEOPLE WANT IT ON ARE SCREENS!!!!!! I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!! I WAS BROUGHT UP ON IT FROM WHEN I WAS 12 AND IM NOW 24!!!!!!!REGARDS JOSH!!!!! KENT

I could watch that simultaneous laugh @ 5:00 all day.....

love this one and i love ade !!! dude when are you ganna interview with rik mayall? xx

I'm not sure about Ade's recent direction.......walking around Britain doing cosy Sunday evening grandma-friendly stuff like he wants to be another Griff Rhys-Jones. I always hoped Ade would keep on doing something with a little edge.

so this is where james corden got the idea

Hooligan island bloody brilliant

kryten and eddie in the same car XD this made my day XD

I'm right there with them on the point about being manipulated in sickly films like "Love Actually".

What, you sucked water in through your eyes?

thouroughly enjoyed that

Kryten & Viv. Would love to be in that car. Would have been cool to see them do it in character. RIP (P)RIK MAYAL.

Harry hill friggin hilarious XD

OMGOMGOMG ITS EDDY!

07.38 Rob's face :-)

Such a sad thing that Ade wasn’t to know of poor Riks demise.

Ade's situation at 16:06 is so much like my dad: 3 daughters, and a male neutered pet. Except instead of a rabbit, we have a cat (: The way he put it is the same way my dad will say it. "Only the rabbit had a penis, and he was neutered too."

OMG that's Kryten

This was uploaded in 2020 but comments are from 6 years ago.

"cos i was in the falklands too!"

Mister Vivian sir!

I wonder what happened between them. Ade said the reason he didn't do the Hooligans Island show was because of his relationship with Rik. It seemed like they got along really well, so I wonder what happened.

A bit from column A and a bit from column B :) It seems to go in the other direction too.

What a smashing blouse he has on

Was that Noel Fielding in the background at 19:15?

There are some things that are funny but I don't think they are anywhere near as good as for eg. bottom, the young ones, hale and pace, only fools and horses, porridge, open all hours etc. I feel that there was a time when we were in a good place and should have stayed there a bit longer. Maybe I'm just being nostalgic?

Rising Bollards? I haven't had that problem in a while.

that would be epic

Eddie stop being so lovely - we need you angry!
