Boring was the third episode of The Young Ones, a British sitcom. It was written by Ben Elton, Rik Mayall and Lise Mayer, and directed by Paul Jackson. It was first aired on BBC2 on 23 November 1982.[1]
This episode is rarely repeated on television because of its racial content, including three uses of the word "sambo", "coon" and one use of "nigger". These words are all spoken in a scene by a Caucasian policeman, satirising the severe racial issues that affected the police at this time. When it is shown on television, it is edited to remove these references.
The quartet are bored to exasperation, despite the fact that there are roller skating vegetables in the kitchen sink. Several other remarkable and unlikely phenomena occur around them throughout the episode, entirely unnoticed by the characters, as they attempt to find something to relieve their boredom. Even a televised siege that spills into their living room goes unnoticed.
A visit to the local pub, where Vyvyan meets his long-lost mother, and Rik and Neil both reveal that they don't drink, fails to provide entertainment. At one point Neil suggests they go to lectures, but the idea is met with incredulity by his housemates. The exterior shots of the pub scene were filmed at the Westbury Park Tavern in Bishopston, Bristol.
In reference to The Story of the Three Bears, Goldilocks rejects the lentils that Neil has prepared (she dismisses it as "bloody hippie food"), and the Three Bears also reject the lentils and opt to "go to McDonald's" instead.
As they drift off to sleep for another night, a spaceship lands on their roof, with Neil still obliviously sitting on his windowsill.
Dazzler that was dazzling. Mac I'm at uni full time trying to drive a truck, trying to surf once a day still and this format Laurie has introduced has farked me. Now for a cup of chai. The weekend killed me and did not even have a beer yesterday. First time in 26 years. I do have some stories though. Will be back when Laurie sorts this rubbish out
Good memories there Dazzler....an old girlfriend of mine used to mind Rik Mayall's cat when he was away - they lived two doors up from him! I always loved this episode

Hey Tux - my fiancé used to work in a bakery when she was at school (long time ago)
Black Tie, Ready Made or Tie your own?
What do you think is best?
I'm going to a Black Tie awards event on the 18th, my dinner suit is the classic shawl collar, no belt, full collar shirt.
I sometimes think that ready made look too perfect, I thought I may try a hand tied one this time.
Tie your own for the groovey hipster look - later on you can untie it and leave it hanging on each side to show people how cool you are make sure you know / or know someone who can tie it well - they look terrible if not.
Thanks for the advice on that one, now for the next one.
About a week ago I had a colonoscopy and gastroscopy combined, since then, the doctor has not called me or sent me any flowers or asked me out for a drink or taken me to a show or anything for that matter
Do you think he was just using me for a one night stand
Should I make the first move and give him a call
Should I be asking the loverly boys over in the 666 forum for advice
I don't know what to do
