When being given an honorary doctorate by the University of Exeter, Rik Mayall imparted the lucky assembled students with his five mantras to live by, plus some very powerful motivational words.

That’s odd, “Talking Bottom: A Guide to the Cult Sitcom” seems to flop open at that exact page. Grab a copy for Christmas, or treat yourself to a bundle with the book, two of our brilliant tea towels and some bookmarks. It’s better than War and Peace!
Who would have thought the A-Z of Bottom could fit into just 30 seconds?!

Friendly and welcoming Lamb and Flag landlord Dick Head reacts to the £12.99 price of Talking Bottom: A Guide to the Cult Sitcom. “Steep?!….” Is that a Guard’s tie he’s wearing? linktr.ee/talkingbottom
Lamb and Flag landlord Dick Head has a practical suggestion for how to use your copy of Talking Bottom: A Guide to The Cult Sitcom. Just be warned you’ll get through all the chapters on the Live shows and Bottom’s influences if you’ve got a runny botty.
As the director of Bottom and Red Dwarf (plus many other great comedies), Ed Bye had a huge hand in shaping our funny bones. The man who wrangled Rik and Ade really knows his comedy & he very kindly wrote the foreword for the book - which is re-published today! wiltonsquarebooks.com/products/tal...
