CHARACTERS As with all episodes of ''The Young Ones'', the main four characters were student flatmates Mike ( Christopher Ryan ); Vyvyan ( Adrian Edmondson ); Rick ( Rik Mayall ) and Neil ( Nigel Planer ). Alexei Sayle starred as a Medieval Jester (and, extremely briefly, a tea shop customer), having played members of the Balowski family in the first series, most notably the students' landlord Jerzei. The murderess Helen Mucus is played by Jennifer Saunders , the female host of the jesters show is played by Helen Lederer . Hale And Pace play peasants. PLOT Neil's dream of running a Texas oil company and giving wads of money away to the public is disturbed by a deeply Hungover Vyvyan yelling at the Sunday Bellringers to be quiet. Rick wakes up next to an attractive but unknown lady, fully clothed. His initial shock and confusion (he has no memory of how she got there) is tempered by his realisation that he can boast about a sexual conquest to the others. His description of the act, when pressed by the others, prompts Vyvyan to vomit and Mike to make a genuine attempt to seduce the girl in question, who calls herself Helen. However, when she reveals that she merely went to sleep in an empty bed, the others turn on Rick. Neil calls him a liar and Vyvyan accuses him of still being a Virgin , which sparks hefty denials from Rick and a huge confrontation between the two spreads round the house. Meanwhile, the radio has revealed she is an escaped Murderess but Mike mistakes her violent resistances to him as rough Foreplay . The appearance of a medieval Knight confuses the quartet, who soon discover the house has gone through a time warp. Neil is concussed and kidnapped by the knight who takes him outside to the Middle Ages hutkeepers, where he regains consciousness and points at their hut just as it blows up from a Howitzer shot aimed by Vyvyan at Rick in the virgin argument. Neil is chased back to the house and, with Rick promising to have a T-shirt confirming his virginity printed, the four quickly check the Television to see if programming has been altered by their time loop. They watch a programme called ''Medieval Torture Hour'' before settling down to a game of cards while their house is invaded by historical figures. The episode features a performance by Reggae band Amazulu . |
