Gold picks 'Bottom' for new documentary

The nation's favourite comedy channel Gold will celebrate Adrian Edmondson and Rik Mayall's much-loved sitcom Bottom with a brand new retrospective, Bottom: Exposed (1x120'), airing later this year.

In Bottom: Exposed, Gold delves deep into the story behind the acclaimed sitcom, which spanned eighteen episodes across three series from 1991 to 1995, as well as five sell-out stage shows. Co-creator and star Adrian Edmondson will give his first-hand account of making the hit show with the late, great Rik Mayall, alongside contributions from a host of the show's cast, crew and famous fans, plus narration from Stephen Fry.

Bottom: Exposed will explore the show from its anarchic production to its enormous success both on screen and on stage, right through to its legacy and the relationship between Adrian Edmondson and Rik Mayall at its centre. Bottom: Exposed will also uncover a treasure-trove of rarities giving a unique behind the scenes insight into Bottom, with footage that has never been broadcast and exclusive stories from the set.

Producer and series director Ed Bye, former Bottom cast members Helen Lederer, Kevin McNally, Roger Sloman, Lisa Maxwell and Paul Bradley, and famous fans such as Alexei Sayle, Chris McCausland and Maisie Adam will reflect on the show and its monumental impact on the sitcom genre.

Bottom: Exposed will air on Gold later this year.
