Ridiculous, Outlandish, But Still Funny
slightlymad2215 January 2015
Plot In A Paragraph: Richie is bored because Eddie has locked himself away in his bedroom for a whole week. When Eddie's friends Spudgun and Dave Hedgehog turn up, Richie learns Eddie has been forging fake money. They decide to go down to the Lamb and Flag pub to see if the fake money works. But they get into trouble with Dick the bartender who demands if Richie and Eddie don't stop forging the fake and money and pay him £5000 quid, his partner Cockney gangster Skullcrusher Henderson will come and smash their heads in. Luckily the prize at that nights pub quiz is £5000.

Rick Myall and Ade Edmondson have always had the ability to make me laugh, nothing has changed here and it's a lot of fun to rewatch these episodes years later with my youngest son and see him laugh hysterically at the things that made me laugh when I was the same age.

Once again the trend of the season taking each episode out of reality continues with things getting more and more ridiculous and outlandish.

Lookout for Lucy Benjamin (Eastenders) in a small role as a pub quiz contestant.

Great episode with funny supporting characters

Richie, Eddie, Spudgun and Dave Hedgehog take Eddie's forged money to the Lamb and Flag.

This is an excellent episode with plenty of laughs from the banter and violence of the central two and their interaction with supporting characters.

It all starts of pretty low key with Richie struggling to get through 'War And Peace' before Spudgun and Hedgehog turn up. Rik Mayall, Steven O'Donnell and Christopher Ryan do awkward social interaction brilliantly as always. The madness ramps up as they all go to the pub to spend Eddie's obscene counterfeit bank notes and cheat their way through a pub quiz.

The scenes in the pub are superb with lots of funny banter between the four and also with Lee Cornes as landlord Dick Head who plays a prominent role.

This episode is similar to 'Parade' where Richie and Eddie play off the support well and end up getting what's coming to them for all the shenanigans.
