Vic Reeves Big Night Out: Trailer, certificate and where to watch
Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer take to the stage and change the world of surreal comedy forever
Year: 1990-1991
Certificate: 12
More than 20 years since this comedy show was on our screens, we're more used to seeing its stars - Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer - painting birds (Reeves, aka Jim Moir) or on a riverbank musing about getting old with Paul Whitehouse in Gone Fishing (Mortimer). But cast your mind back to when they were young and eager fledglings in this, their 1990 TV debut.
With his jet-black quiff and immaculate suits, Vic Reeves looked every bit the old-school gentleman host, but with his sidekick Bob (Mortimer), plus bald-headed Les, Man with a Stick and a host of other weirdly wonderful characters, Vic's show was anything but run of the mill. Vic and Bob revolutionised television comedy with both this and Shooting Stars, their anarchic twist on the gameshow. (Two series)
