It was written by Ben Elton, Rik Mayall and Lise Mayer, and directed by Paul Jackson.
The episode begins with opening credits and setting which parodies the popular American soap opera Dallas.
Neil is concussed and kidnapped, along with Helen, by the knight who offers them as maidens to some Middle Ages hut keepers.
Having been thrown off the knight's horse, Neil regains consciousness and starts a conversation with the villagers, but their hut blows up from a howitzer, poorly aimed by Vyvyan at Rick.
Neil is chased back to the house after being accused of sorcery, and, with Rick promising to have a T-shirt confirming his virginity printed, the four quickly check the television to see if programming has been altered by their time loop.
As with all episodes of The Young Ones, the main four characters were student housemates Mike (Christopher Ryan); Vyvyan (Adrian Edmondson); Rick (Rik Mayall) and Neil (Nigel Planer).
The Dallas parody title sequence utilises music from the closing credits of the unbroadcast original pilot edit of the first episode of The Young Ones, "Demolition."
