Funny Chess Video from British TV Sitcom Bottom

Hello chess blog friends, chess and British humour indeed go together. BBC has always been a great fan of chess! Here's a funny chess video from the British sitcom Bottom. Watch it all the way and have a fun chess Sunday! Just be careful, it's all British humour and you might not be able to do all that much to your opponent.


Bottom is a British sitcom television series that originally aired on BBC2 between 1991 and 1995. It was written by and starred comic duo Adrian Edmondson and Rik Mayall as Eddie and Richie, two flatmates who live on the dole in Hammersmith, London. The programme ran for three series, and was followed by five stage show tours across the United Kingdom between 1993 and 2003, and a feature film Guest House Paradiso. The show is noted for its chaotic, nihilistic humour and violent comedy slapstick. -- Wikipedia
