A couple of bits of The Young Ones ephemera I’ve stumbled across.
The first, a trailer – with a trailer – for the first season of The Young Ones.
(Pinched from here!)
And in the second, a Friends Provident advert from 1990, Vyvyan and Neil sellout long enough to try and flog us insurance and investment products whist running around a supermarket.

It’s the 1st of April and the 8th day of lockdown. The world is contracting in on itself and and the familiar places are becoming a little too familiar. So what better time than now to rank Bungles..?
I suspect that one has to be of a certain age to fully enjoy this classic 80s masterpiece.
Alas, from what I’ve seen on Youtube, the rest of Maid Marian and Her Merry Men hasn’t retained quite the same level of charm.
A Deep Space Nine sizzle reel, remastered using machine learning. The linked version without the Youtube compression artefacts is really rather impressive.
There’s lots of media out there that, either due to cost or just that HD elements never existed, will never be remastered for modern displays. Blackadder, Red Dwarf, early Doctor Who; all of these could be rejuvenated for the 21st century.
