Disc 1:
Demolition - Introducing the four wildly different roommates and their
landlord, who soon has to provide them with a new place, as this one is being torn down the
next day.

and put Rick and Neil to work collecting it.

Boring - They are terribly bored, despite the many fascinating things going on all
around them that they somehow just keep missing!
Musical guest: Madness
Bomb - When an RAF jet's nuclear bomb safely lands in front of the
refrigerator, Mike and Rick argue on how best to use it, while Vyvyan tries to set it off.
Musical guest: Dexy's Midnight Runners
Interesting - A party is in the offing, but everything that can go
wrong, does. The whole thing turns into a frightful bore, until Vyvyan's friends show up!
Musical guest: Rip, Rig and Panic
(featuring Neneh Cherry)
Flood - Again a few new scenes are added to the opening credits and things open in
medieval times. Things seem weird until Neil hits himself in the head with a pan
and we learn that it is all in the garden. Rick imagines himself as a hero called
the People’s Poet. Things finish and get weirder when the landlord turns into an Ax
Wielding Maniac and Vyv winds up in Narnia while trying to hide.
Special non-musical guest: Bobby And His Man-Eating Lions
Disc 2:
Bambi - The students have to take a train ride so they can represent Scumbag
University in the exciting game show, University Challenge.
Musical guest: Motorhead
Cash - A poltergeist is in the house as things keep disappearing and the gang has
run out of money. That means there is only one thing to do and that means go visit
the neighbours. With none of their ideas working, it is time to get a job. Not
wanting to work, Vyv announces to the gang that he is pregnant and Neil if forced
to join the police force.
Nasty - "Oh, have we got a video?" Yes! Mike has borrowed a VCR
overnight, and they try to get it working, while evading the clutches of a South African
vampire.
Musical guest: The Damned
Time - Rick wakes up to find a pretty young lady asleep in his bed, and fibs to his
mates that they've "done it". What he doesn't realize is that she's an escaped
violent mental patient!
Musical guest: Amazulu
Sick - Things around the house get pretty gross when everyone comes down with
horrible colds. Things kick into high gear when they are taken hostage by a
murderer and Neil gets planted in the garden. Neil’ss parents show up in this
episode and there is a riot in the street.
Musical guest: Madness
Summer Holiday - As the school year ends, Rick's parents (who provide the
