Synopsis

The series centres around the inutterably sad Richie Rich (Mayall), a washed-up entertainer and actor, and his futile quest for recognition of his non-existent talent. Unfortunately for Richie, his lack of ability is entirely at odds with his inflated ego and self-image as some sort of Bohemian.
Other regular characters are Eddie Catflap (Edmondson), Richie's rather psychotic "minder", and the very seedy Ralph Filthy (Planer), Richie's ineffectual agent.The satirical element of the series targets both television culture and the nature of celebrity itself, particularly those celebrities who (like Richie) believe the world owes them a living.
