Guest House Paradiso

Guest House Paradiso, 1999

Guest House Paradiso is a 1999 British slapstick comedy film, a spin off from the BBC sitcom Bottom.

Both Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson return to reprise their respective roles, with a minor change to their surnames: Mayall’s character, known as “Richard Richard” in Bottom, is referred to as “Richard Twat” (although he angrily insists on the pronunciation “Thwaite”). Edmondson’s character changes from “Edward Elizabeth Hitler” in the TV/live show to “Edward Elizabeth Ndingombaba”. Despite the name changes, both characters are exactly the same personalities as their TV counterparts.

As well as starring in the film, Edmondson and Mayall wrote the script, with Edmondson making his directorial debut with the film.

The film was made at the famous Ealing Studios, with location filming taking place on the Isle Of Wight.

Summary

Richie and Eddie are back.  Now they run the nastiest, smelliest, most squalid hotel in the world and things are not going well.

Richie is soon indulging his passion for panty pilfering whilst desperately trying to impress the fragrant Ms. Carbonara! But with Gina’s jilted fiancie in hot pursuit and something decidedly iffy about the fish dinner Richie & Eddie are going to escape in one piece?
