"Guest House Paradiso" by Yojimbo

Rik Mayall and Ade Edmondson (as well as Simon Pegg and Bill Nighy in pre-Hollywood roles) revive cult TV series Bottom in what can best be described as a cross between Fawlty Towers and Itchy & Scratchy. It's strength is in some of the throwaway lines, but the slapstick violence often gets a little tiresome (how many times do you really need to see someone hit in the groin?) It's tasteless, crass and completely lacking in subtlety. It's also occasionally very funny. Hardly a classic, but far from the worst TV comedy to film adaptation.
