Not a remake,but I'd love to see what the Young Ones ,Neil,Rik,Vyvian and Mike are doing now.
That would be an interesting one.
I have read that there was some talk that Rik Mayall and Ade Edmondson might do a new series of Bottom, but that Ade has a few problems working with Rik.
Mayall is up for it, but not Ade apparently.
“I’m desperate to do it. I thought it would be lovely to have them in a different situation and being much older.
“Ade said we weren’t old enough to be mad old b******s – but if we leave it another 10 years, how the f*** are we going to do anything?”
The dad-of-three knew where he wanted to take his character, Richie Rich.
“I’ve always loved Wilfred Bramble, who played Steptoe, I wanted to play him like that,” he sighs.
“But I think Ade thought we shouldn’t repeat what we’d done.”

Again it seems to be a case that some don't like going back.
Mayall did appear recently in the C4 sitcom Man Down as the father of Greg Davies, they do look like they could be related. Very modern comedy so not everyone's cup of tea here I would guess, but Mayall was his usual vile self in it.
By the way, did anyone watch Ade in Britain? I thought it was very good. Who'd have thought at the time of The Young Ones, Ade Edmondson would do a very traditional series like that thirty years down the line?
