Mixing cartoon-style slapstick, nob gags and Beckettian nihilism, it left

Celebrating the legacy of TV’s greatest losers Richie and Eddie, this
audiobook features thorough ‘Bottom Inspections’, ‘Bottom Nuggets’, draft script excerpts and interviews with cast and crew sure to reignite fans’ love for Rik and Ade’s unmatched talent for toilet humour.
