8/10
A typically Bottom style Halloween
14 October 2020
Richie and Eddie go trick or treating and have a Halloween party.

This is a strong episode with Richie's mad enthusiasm for Halloween and devil worshipping providing a number of funny situations.

It has some excellent banter between the two central characters and the welcome appearance of Spudgun and Dave Hedgehog only makes the dynamic better as we then have three foils for Richie's madness.

Rik Mayall dominates this episode, but does so with his usual energy and comic timing. It must have been quite tough to keep thinking of ways to humiliate the character but this one does it mercilessly.

I might sound a bit picky, but I think this one slightly overdoes the toilet humour. When these visual gags come they are good but towards the end I was finding it a bit tiresome.
