Bottom is a British television sitcom created by Adrian Edmondson and Rik Mayall that originally aired on BBC2 from 17 September 1991 to 10 April 1995 across three series. The show stars Edmondson and Mayall as Edward Elizabeth Eddie Hitler and Richard Richie Richard, two crude, perverted flatmates with no jobs and little money who live in Hammersmith, West London. The show is noted for its chaotic, nihilistic humour and violent comedy slapstick. Bottom also spawned five stage-show tours between 1993 and 2003, and a feature film, Guest House Paradiso (1999). Plans for a spin-off series titled Hooligan's Island featuring various Bottom characters were cancelled in 2012. In 2004, Bottom came in at No. 45 in a BBC poll for Britain's Best Sitcom.
