Synopsis
Bottom, Season 3 — six episodes from 1995, watch online on iFILM. Same flat, same two men, same complete absence of any path forward.
The season opens with Richie and Eddie literally trapped on a fairground big wheel booked for demolition the next morning. From there: a Halloween that turns into a neighbourhood shakedown that goes wrong in several directions, a holiday to Doncaster that Richie plans with uncharacteristic seriousness, and Eddie running a quiet counterfeit currency operation from his bedroom. That last one attracts a debt collector no sane person wants to meet. A set of car keys stolen from a very large local man raises the stakes further. The final episode plants them at the window watching the annual Hammersmith carnival riots — which is, by some margin, the most sensible decision either of them makes all season.
Season 3 is the last full run before the show shifted to live stage specials. Mayall and Edmondson had the formula locked. Watch all episodes of Bottom Season 3 online on iFILM.
