Filthy Rich & Catflap

- Season 1

(1987)

Out-of-work actor Richie Rich has a paternity suit on his hands, and also can't stop killing milkmen wherever he goes.

After a disastrous appearance on "Ooer Sounds a Bit Rude", Richie stumbles into the Nolan Sisters' dressing room and ends up being blackmailed by them. When he and Eddie try to force the required money from Filthy Ralph, they end up owing him as well.

Richie plans a dinner party for his showbiz pals to celebrate his 10 years in the biz. But since neither he nor Eddie has any money to buy food, they steal it. Filthy arranges an alibi for Richie for getting him a gig doing comedy at a peep-show.

After losing his brilliant new game-show formula to BBC big shot Jumbo Whiffy. Rich resorts to taking advantage of his terminally-ill father to get back into the limelight.

Filthy gets Richie a job reading celeb gossip on TV-AM and explicitly tells him to get there on time: 4.30 in the morning. Naturally, Eddie convinces Richie to go on a booze binge.

Eddie and Richie are on trial for showing their bare behinds on TV-AM. Filthy manages to get them off scot-free, then is sentenced to be hanged himself. Since Richie and Eddie are prohibited from seeking work in the entertainment business, they reluctantly decide to try journalism.
