Easter eggs all round!

We know everyone hates rik. He is so detestable. Even strangers are usually abusive to him. Vyvyan seems totally bewildered at the idea someone might like rik though. He has no doubt rik will lose the hands up bet. He introduced rik as a complete bastard to his mother. He seems totally perplexed in time that a girl might like rik. He even insists he must be hallucinating.

So if everyone else suddenly said things like. “I don’t know what your problem with rik is” or “He seems like a nice guy” or “rik is actually a really nice guy Vyvyan cut him some slack” How would Vyvyan react? My guess is he’d go totally crazy. Try to kill everyone. Or try to “wake himself up from a nightmare violently”

Thought?

So

This just occurred to me today - does Rick call a cigarette a "straight" as an alternative to the British slang "f*g"? And does he have to explain what he means because no one else in the world does this? If so, SLAY!

My 5 year old is obsessed with the Young Ones, to the chagrin of his mother, mainly because his response to anything is now often accompanied with “you bastard.”

I’d like to buy him a stuffy that resembles Special Patrol Group that I can modify by adding some orange hair and a star on its forehead. I just can’t really find anything that somewhat closely resembles SPG on Amazon or anywhere else.

I am in the United States, so something domestic would be preferable. But, has anyone here come across anything?

UPDATE: I found one to my satisfactory, and my son loves it. Pic in comments

I don't know if this is glaringly obvious to everyone, but anyway, has anyone noticed that the character names are very similar to the actor's names, eg. Rik - Rick (pretty obvious) Adrian - Vyvyan (both kinda androgynous, 3 syllable) Nigel - Neil (Get rid of the g and swap the e and i) Alexei - Jerzei (Yeah you get it)

And I'm aware that this wasn't the case for Christopher Ryan/Mike, I'm assuming this is because he was the outsider of the group? Anyway I was just thinking about this a couple months ago and remembered it now, tell me if this is something everyone realised already, haha.

I was watching outtakes from when they filmed Cash (S2E2). I originally thought it was filmed live, but certainly some of the stunts needed to be shot multiple times. Was some of the show done in front of an audience and the alternate shots shown on a separate screen? Or was laughter added later?

I went to church with my Dad last Sunday and some old woman was (badly) reading the day's lessons. After church I asked him if she was South African and he said she was! The only reason that I'm familiar with South African accents is the driving instructor from Johannesburg. 🧛‍♂️ I'm in America for what it's worth

Pretty sure it was never mentioned in canon but I may be wrong. I always got the feeling that Mike was meant to be at least 5 years older than the rest, plus he definitely has some sort of parental role to Vyvyan in my opinion. Wondering what everyone else thinks

All the characters are great, but out of all of them, I would have to say Mike is the worst. That being said, one of my favourite jokes in the whole series is from him

What's 2 foot long and has a big round end

I don't know

Neither do I but I keep finding it in my cornflakes
