Введение
"Опасные братья" – это сценическое и телевизионное шоу анархического комедийного дуэта Рика Мейолла и Эда Эдмондсона, выступавших соответственно в роли "Ричарда Опасного" и "Сэра Адриана Опасного". Первоначально появившись на сцене в лондонском комедийном клубе The Comic Strip, персонажи были хорошо проработаны до появления на телевидении. Впервые они появились на телевидении в разовом шоу BBC 1980 года "Boom Boom Out Go The Lights", а также были представлены в коротком документальном фильме "Комик-стрип" режиссера Джульена Темпла, прежде чем появились в нескольких коротких скетчах в телепрограмме "Saturday Live" с 1985 года и в ее первом сезоне в 1986 году. По сути, это был прототип карьеры, которую дуэт должен был построить в течение следующих 20 лет в таких шоу, как "Мистер Джолли живет по соседству", "Грязный, богатый и Catflap" и "Bottom" – два жалких неудачника-извращенца, эффектно избивающих друг друга. Это было, пожалуй, более опасно, чем большая часть материала, который последовал в более поздних воплощениях. В коротком периоде выступлений в реквизите использовались живой крокодил, автоматические винтовки со светошумовыми патронами, а Эдмондсон, по всей видимости, употреблял Vim – известный в Великобритании бренд порошкового чистящего средства для туалетов. Один из первых телевизионных скетчей "Мир опасности" пошел не по плану, когда трюк с поджогом брюк Эдмондсона привел к серьезным ожогам, хотя большая часть этого была оставлена в эфирной версии.
The Dangerous Brothers was a stage and TV act by anarchic comedy duo Rik Mayall and Ade Edmondson, performing respectively as "Richard Dangerous" and "Sir Adrian Dangerous". Originally appearing on stage in London at the comedy club The Comic Strip, the characters were well developed before appearing on TV. First appearing on television on a one off 1980 BBC TV show Boom Boom Out Go The Lights, they were also featured in a TV short documentary film The Comic Strip, directed by Julien Temple, before they appeared in a number of brief sketches in the TV programme Saturday Live from 1985 and into its first series in 1986. The act was, in essence, a prototype of the career which the pair were to forge over the next 20 years in such shows as Mr Jolly Lives Next Door, Filthy, Rich and Catflap and Bottom two low life loser perverts hitting each other in spectacular slapstick ways. It was arguably more hazardous than much of the material which was to follow in later incarnations stage props in the brief run included a live crocodile, blank firing submachine guns, and Edmondson apparently consuming Vim, a well known UK brand of powder toilet cleaner. One of the early TV sketches "World of Danger" went wrong when a stunt to set fire to Edmondson's trousers left him with serious burns although much of this was left on the broadcast version.

One of the final sketches prepared for Saturday Live was entitled Kinky Sex. This supposedly fell foul of Channel 4 censors who banned it, getting the duo banned from Saturday Live for being "too sexy and too violent". They responded by apparently hijacking the programme and blowing up the wall on which the show's logo was painted in graffiti art along appearing on a "flower arranging dance" sketch with Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry. The sketch, which by modern standards seems fairly tame, was finally released on a compilation video The Dangerous Brothers present: World of Danger. Several Dangerous Brothers sketches are also included on the DVD compilation Saturday Live: The Best of Series One (2007).

Один из последних скетчей, подготовленных для "Saturday Live", назывался "Секс с изюминкой". Предположительно, он не понравился цензорам Channel 4, которые запретили его, что привело к исключению дуэта из "Saturday Live" за то, что он был "слишком сексуальным и слишком жестоким". В ответ они, по всей видимости, захватили программу и взорвали стену, на которой логотип шоу был нарисован граффити, а также появились в скетче "Танец с цветочными композициями" с Хью Лори и Стивеном Фраем. Скетч, который по современным меркам кажется довольно безобидным, в конечном итоге был выпущен на сборном видео "The Dangerous Brothers present: World of Danger". Несколько скетчей "Опасных братьев" также включены в DVD-компиляцию "Saturday Live: The Best of Series One" (2007).

"Опасный взгляд": DVD
В 2009 году вышел DVD со всеми скетчами, показанными в шоу. Однако эпизод «Кинки секс» был взят из любительской видеозаписи, поскольку оригинал найти не удалось. Некоторые скетчи кажутся смонтированными длиннее или немного короче других. Также были внесены изменения в музыкальное сопровождение, некоторые из которых заметны, если вы видели видео. Смех за кадром отличается: в видео использовался как смех реальной студийной аудитории, так и добавленный смех, а на DVD используется только оригинальный смех студийной аудитории.
A DVD of all of the sketches featured in the show was released in 2009. However, the Kinky Sex episode is taken from a home video source as the original could not be found. Some of the sketches appear to be edited longer and slightly shorter than others. Music edits have also been made, of which some are obvious if you have seen the video. The laughing in the unseen audience is also different, where the video used the real studio audience laughter and also canned laughter. The DVD just uses the original studio audience.
