How To Be A Complete Bastard[]
How To Be A Complete Bastard is a book written in 1986 by Adrian Edmondson, Mark Leigh and Mike Lepine. It instructs the reader in how to be a complete bastard to such people as the deaf, blind and crying babies and is written from the point of view of Ade's Young Ones character Vivian. It was followed by a sequel titled The Complete Bastard's Book of the Worst in 1989, a video game for the ZX Spectrum, Amstrad and Commodore 64, and a board game published by Paul Lamond Games Ltd. The board game loosely took the form of snakes and ladders, and contained cards which encouraged the player to perform such actions as "tell the person to your left what you think of their mother" and "invent The Bastard Dance and perform it for the benefit of the other players."
The Rik Mayall: Bigger Than Hitler, Better Than Christ[]
The Rik Mayall: Bigger Than Hitler, Better Than Christ is Rik Mayall's semi-autobiography. It was published in 2006 and its content is intentionally provocative and self-indulgent, much in the spirit of Mayall's own vibrant and outrageous personality. At its core it is an overview of Rik's life, career and achievements, told in a tongue-in-cheek style with photographs and excerpts from bizarre letters he has allegedly sent to various celebrities throughout his life. The book contains intentional spelling mistakes and grammatical errors to bolster the comic value of the text. It is Mayall's only autobiographical book.
Bottom: The Scripts - The book of the tv series...[]
Bottom: The Scripts - The book of the tv series... is a collection of scripts from the first series of Bottom published in 1992. It was compiled by stars Rik Mayall and Ade Edmondson and published by BBC Books. The book contains extended portions (ooh er!) of dialogue not heard in the televised versions, the assumption being that these scenes were filmed but cut for time. The UK Gold streaming versions of some episodes incorporated these cut scenes back into the episodes.
