I remember listening to the “top 8 at eight” radio show on Eon FM in 1984 or 1985 with John Peters going on about The Young Ones. As a 16yo I really got into them.
Re: mike Yeah he’s the hardest, your attempt is good though. I always thought he looked older than the other guys. He was my least favourite character.
Haha yeah Mike was the first thing I noticed. I always wondered what he was doing in the show, to be honest, you could have left him out and I reckon most people wouldn’t notice.
Well the idea of Mike Thecoolperson [his actual name] kind of makes sense in terms of the group dynamic, and there’s also a theory that each person represents a decade so Mike is the 50’s, Neil is the 60’s Vyv is the 70’s and Rick is the 80’s.

This was such a great show … you’ve captured the spirit very well

Yeh, not all that happy with Mike, but he’s a hard character to do because he played everything so straight…

‘Capture’ is a word that photographers use to feel like they’ve created something.

this is an immediate fav… a friend of mine was wanting to produce an updated version of this show.
I would like to see a cartoon (for adults of course) surface… it would be a hit!
Mike is fine… He could use some cool shades cuz he was the “cool” guy”
but no worries.
