BOTTOM LIVE 3: HOOLIGAN'S ISLAND [1997]

By their third live tour it's very apparent, Rik Mayall & Ade Edmonson have let the creative well run dry with Bottom.  Resorting to a tropical island backdrop, half-assed musical numbers and constantly breaking out of character to insult each other or flip the bird to the audience to fill up time, it makes you wonder how much time and effort they actually put into this show.  As a fan of Bottom, it's still fun to watch the two play off each other but I can guarantee as a non-fan it'll be both annoying and tiresome.

Hey, I can't view your site properly within Opera, I actually hope you look into fixing this.

There’s not a thing we can do about it. Blogger is owned by Google so is designed to work well with Chrome. They seem to purposefully make it difficult for other browsers, especially Opera.

Firefox is another option, because of the deal they currently have with Google it’ll be supported until at least 2014.
