The Young Ones (1982)

Created by Ben Elton, Alexei Sayle, Rik Mayall, Lise Mayer

The misadventures of four lunatic students who live in a shared student house. There's Rick, the overblown political one addicted to Cliff Richard, Vyvyan the experimental scientific one/part-time anarchist, Neil the worried hippy, and Mike the ladies' man (at least he is in his mind).
