Synopsis

The misadventures of four lunatic students who live in a shared student house. There's Rick, the overblown political one addicted to Cliff Richard, Vyvyan the experimental scientific one/part-time anarchist, Neil the worried hippy, and Mike the ladies' man (at least he is in his mind).

About 5h 48m to watch every episode. An estimate: 12 episodes at the typical episode runtime of 29 minutes.
