Details

Starring pop music legend Cliff Richard (Summer Holiday) and instrumental rock band The Shadows (Hank Marvin, Bruce Welch, Jet Harris, Tony Meehan), The Young Ones follows a group of young performers who band together to save their local youth club from demolition, culminating in a vibrant celebration of youth, music, and community and perfectly capturing the spirit of early 1960s Britain at the height of its pop revolution.

It also features a film star-making performance from Cliff Richard and a soundtrack of unforgettable musical numbers - including the No. 1 title song hit The Young Ones - which became one of Richard's biggest hits, topping the UK charts for six weeks and emerging as a defining anthem of his early career. The 1961 box office hit also stars veteran actor Robert Morley, Carole Gray, Richard O'Sullivan, and Melvyn Hayes. It is directed by Sidney J. Furie with glorious black & white cinematography from Douglas Slocombe.

With some new special features on offer - That's Showbusiness, in which the great comedy actor Melvyn Hayes shares his take on the film, and exclusive behind the scenes footage with commentary by legendary stuntman Rocky Taylor on his first ever job - this new edition of British pop cinema classic The Young Ones is not to be missed!

The Young Ones is released on DVD and Blu-ray 29th June 2026 from StudioCanal as part of their Vintage Classics collection.
