Rick is throwing a party for his college friends and is keen to try and make a good impression. As one would anticipate, things do not go to plan. Vyvyan destroys a large section of the living room floor with a new vacuum cleaner he has built, a bible basher who has forced her way into the house is crushed to death by a giant sandwich which comes crashing through the ceiling, and Vyvyan has made the party punch so strong that when he tries it it makes all of his hair fall out.
Things really get out of hand however when a group of Vyvyan's punk rocker friends show up and wreck the place...
The 'house party going wrong' theme has been done to death in sitcoms over the years however 'The Young Ones' takes it to entirely new lengths. For instance, Neil tries a drug that is so strong that it literally sends him flying up to the moon. Future comedy duo Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders both appear here. The former as the ill-fated bible basher and the latter as one of Rick's friends. Linda Henry, the future Shirley Carter of 'Eastenders', makes an uncredited appearance as one of the party guests.
Funniest bit - Reggie Balowski ( one of their landlord's many relatives ) trying to gatecrash the party, only to be stopped by Mike.
REGGIE: Is there any chance of using your toilet?
MIKE: No!
REGGIE: I thought not, that's why I p****d in your garden!
