Richie (Rik Mayall) is a former actor who has only one ambition: to be famous. He believes that everyone knows who he is and often has a paranoid feeling that people are out to get him. He lives with his minder Edward (Ade Edmondson), a drunk. His agent Ralph Filthy (Nigel Planner) is not very good at his job and apart from being an agent, he is involved in shady businesses. This series follows Richie's pathetic attempts to reach stardom. He stops at nothing to reach his goal; he even contemplates killing his own father. Fourth-wall-breaking happens very often. Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry appear in one episode, as well as a young Chris Barrie.

Dead Milkmen

35 mins

Vain, unemployed actor Richie Rich wakes up in bed with his sleazy minder Catflap, and while Catflap is checking to see if Rich has a bottom rash, they're interrupted by a milkman they mistake for a tabloid journalist....and kill. Rich's agent Filthy arrives to announce that Rich is the subject of a paternity case. After accidentally killing more milkmen, they arrive at the hospital where Rich has persuaded Catflap to impersonate him to foil the DNA test, unaware that the whole thing is a scam cooked up by Catflap and his cousin, the baby's mother, to fleece him. After they make up, Rich and Catflap try to get rid of the corpses...and run into policemen doing the same thing.
