Neil’s letter to his bank manager (“Darling fascist bullyboy…”) is probably my favorite bit.

‘Vyvyan, Vyvyan, Vyvyan! Honestly, whenever anything explodes in this house it’s always “Blame Vyvyan”!’

‘“Do not lean out of the window.” I wonder why?’ _WHAM_

‘You can’t kill me! I’m South African!’

Mike: What’s that thumping?  
Vyvyan: Oh, it’s probably Rick doing a bit of reading.

Far too often the song “Doctor Martens Boots” pops into my head.

I don’t remember the words exactly but it was Helen (Jennifer Saunders) talking to Vyvyan:

Helen: My name’s Helen. Wouldn’t it be horrible if my last name was Back. Then my name would be Helen Back!..My real last name is Mucus.

Oh yeah, Harry The Bastard!

I can’t open the link in the OP, and googling “International Young Ones Day” gets me nothing.

Can somebody tell me what the hell this is supposed to be?

There was a site years ago that had all of the scripts. I saved the pages and the site was taken down eventually. I’ve just searched, and found [this Flash page](http://www.4q.dk/theyoungones.php) with the scripts.

HELEN: Promise you won’t laugh? [Mike nods] It’s Helen. [Vyvyan laughs, but Mike stops him] Sounds like the kind of name someone would give to someone who looks as if they’d been to Hell and back, isn’t it? [Vyvyan is really confused] It’s prestigiously embarassing. Still, at least my surname isn’t Back. It’d be awful, wouldn’t it? Helen Back. [pause] My surname is Mucous.
