When Rik Myall and Adrian Edomdson are in this type of form there is no funnier British comedy duo. They are fantastic.

Richard Richard (Myall) and Edward Elizabeth Hitler (Edmondson) are back, in a side splittingly brilliant season opener.

Plot In A Paragraph: Richard and Eddie have gone to the carnival and get stranded on the big wheel, when everybody leaves for the night.

It is just these two actors for the full episode, and it is a tribute to these to comedy genius's that nobody else is needed and the show gets by on the great chemistry of the two leads.

I'm currently rewatching these with my nine year old son, and he loves them as much as I did back when they first aired in the 1990's

Richie and Eddie find themselves trapped on top of a Ferris wheel.

This is one of the best episodes of the entire series as it contains almost nothing but the banter between its two stars as they are fixed in the same place for an entire episode.

The situation alone is funny enough, but it slowly gets worse and worse and the comedy level keeps on increasing as it approaches a hilarious cliffhanger conclusion.

Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson show what an immense double-act they are as they tell funny anecdotes, insult each other, fight, letch, admire their own ability to swear and eventually start to panic when things really go from bad to worse.

My favourite bits are when Richie loses it after Eddie makes one too many jokes relating to flared trousers and Eddie's epically timed one-liner about fate.

Superb start to the final series.
