The Young Ones S2 E5: Sick

sick well you know what when this one opened with a back to the opening credits we'd gone two weeks without I'd almost forgotten that the show had opening credits because we'd had two weeks where

yeah two in a

row is weird yeah like alternate beginning so I was like oh okay all right here we are back to back to normality felt weird in the young ones universe is an interesting

thing to say yeah I really do enjoy Sick, actually.

I enjoyed the rewatch.

I had it in my mind as the episode where it's just a load of snot.

And obviously it's really vile.

But yeah, I'd actually misremembered the episode where Neil's parents show up.

And it's so Hyacinth Bouquet.

It's ridiculous.

You've got to say it.

I thought it was

her, the first episode.

It's definitely not Patricia Outledge, and they're an actual real-life couple, those two.

We can talk about them a bit later, but yeah, they're...

That was a quiz question.

Damn it.

That's fine.

We can have all that stuff come up in the quiz.

Yeah, incredible how similar her mannerisms and voice is when you think that Highest of the Bouquet didn't start until mid-'90s.

I think it's low-hanging fruit, that kind of character.

Oh! Definitely.

It's kind

of a trope, isn't it? But it's

so well done and well pitched anyway.
