The Old Young Ones - Sick

"The Young Ones" break their 2 episodes per show rules to create 3 episodes this show! Author and "Tonight Show" writer Mike Drucker joins Jon and Howie to revisit the show after seeing it once 15 years ago. They discuss the story structure similarity to "Family Guy", the meta break that stays cracked throughout the episode and where Brian Damage ranks among Alexei Sayle performances. Plus, the magic of Vyvyans' mother, the targeting of hit BBC shows and how a perfect joke doesn't need context. [Ep12]
