{{main|Guest House Paradiso}}
During the ''Hooligan's Island'' tour in 1997, Mayall and Edmondson sought ways of spending time before the night's performance and began to develop ideas for a script that involved Richie being a hotel manager. After some time the pair realised that they had produced a substantial work that would suit a feature film. The result was ''[[Guest House Paradiso]]'', a spin-off to ''Bottom'' featuring Mayall and Edmondson as Richard Twat (pronounced "Thwaite"<ref name="Empire"/>) and Eddie Elizabeth Ndingobamba, respectively, with Edmondson as director. The story involves the pair operating a grotty remote guesthouse next to a nuclear power plant and feeding their guests radioactive fish, causing massive amounts of vomiting. Despite the characters and humour being in the same vein as ''Bottom'',<ref name="Empire">{{cite web|url=https://www.empireonline.com/movies/reviews/guesthouse-paradiso-review/ |title=Empire review of Guest House Paradiso |publisher=Empireonline.com |date= January 2000}}</ref> Mayall said ''Guest House Paradiso'' was never meant to be a film version of ''Bottom'' because other sitcoms that had film adaptations "didn't work".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://rikmayallinterviews.wordpress.com/2012/03/27/from-hell-to-paradiso/|title=From Hell to Paradiso|first=John|last=Millar|work=OK!
