Richie and Eddie go camping on Wimbledon Common.
This is another strong episode from the excellent second series of Bottom where Richie and Eddie bring their typical banter and slapstick violence to a more countrified part of London.
For the majority of the story Rik Mayall and Ade Edmondson are the only actors who appear. Their visual gags are some of the best physical comedy I've ever witnessed, particularly dart and blowpipe sequence. The character concepts of Richie trying to get back to nature alongside Eddie the 'urban pustule' who doesn't want to be there works really well.
All of the above is laced with the usual juvenile filth and bad language that characterises the show. When a third character makes a brief but hilarious appearance, he gives Richie and Eddie a real sight to remember. This along with the proximity to the bus-stop, the local wildlife or the trashy state of the environment, gives a certain Britishness to an experience of the not so great outdoors.
