Bambi (The Young Ones)

Bambi is a character, played by Jennifer Saunders, who appears in the "Bambi" episode of the British comedy television series The Young Ones. This episode originally aired in 1984.

Bambi is the host of "University Challenge," a parody of the real-life British quiz show of the same name. In the episode, the four main characters of The Young Ones (Rick, Vyvyan, Neil, and Mike) form a team representing Scumbag College in a special "University Challenge" episode against Footlights College, Cambridge.

Bambi's portrayal is satirical, exaggerating the perceived aloofness and upper-class background often associated with presenters of intellectual programming. Saunders' performance emphasizes a posh accent and condescending attitude towards the contestants, particularly the Scumbag College team. The character serves to highlight the clash between the anarchic, anti-establishment worldview of The Young Ones and the perceived elitism of traditional British institutions.

Bambi's catchphrase in the episode is a drawn-out, affected pronunciation of "Good evening." The character is a memorable and comedic element of the episode, contributing to its overall absurd and satirical tone.
