Four despicable college students in Great Britian find themselves faced with eviction from their flat, which is due to be demolished.
Tropes:
- Bungled Suicide: Neil screws up his suicide attempt because the rope he was planning to use to hang himself was too long.
- Dynamic Entry: Vyvyan makes his first appearance by smashing through the kitchen wall carrying a severed leg as the other three are eating dinner.
- Establishing Character Moment: We get to see the students and their self-destructive personalizes when they first appear.
- Rick is an obsessive Cliff Richard’s fan, is very childish and throws a tantrum over the most inconsequential of slights.
- Neil is a hippie and is quite a pushover but is shown to act very passive-aggressive to the other students when they abuse him.
- Mike is a smooth-talking con-man who manages to keep a calm head on things.
- Vyvyan is a violent punk who makes his big entrance by crashing through the kitchen wall.
- Establishing Series Moment: Seeing how rudely Rick treats Neil along with the enormous amount of cartoonish cutaways and gags clues in the audience what type of series this will be.
