Manic and mad, rude and pretty revolting actually, the Scumbag College students - Rick, Vyv, Neil and Mike - are joined by the ever-threatening Alexei Sayle, for the entire first series of their groundbreaking comedy. It was essential viewing in the 1980s for any self-respecting stroppy and opinionated person under 25, and it’s just as fresh, vicious, original and hilarious now. Written by Ben Elton, Rik Mayall and Lise Mayer. Additional material by Alexei Sayle. Directed by Geoff Posner. Produced by Paul Jackson.
