    Monkey Trousers

    Monkey Trousers was a short-lived comedy series on ITV in 2005, featuring Alistair McGowan, John Thomson, Ronni Ancona, Mackenzie Crook, Griff Rhys Jones, Neil Morrissey, Vic Reeves, Bob Mortimer, Marc Wootton and Steve Coogan. It was directed by David Kerr and produced by Bob Mortimer and Vic Reeves’ production company, Pett Productions.

    It succeeded The All Star Comedy Show, which was written by Reeves and Mortimer, and produced by Coogan.

    Sketches of the show included the moronic, yet fearless ‘Croc Botherer’, Roy the eerie, lonely toy-shopkeeper, Alistair the hopeless estate agent, who replies to every question with “I don’t know”, the swearing chef, and the ‘Geordie Astronauts’.

    A DVD of the series was released on 4 July 2005.

    Popetown

    Popetown is a controversial animated sitcom, billed by its producers as “Father Ted meets South Park”, following the doodles and scribblings of a student at school during a lesson. His drawings depict the life of Father Nicholas, who lives in a Vatican City parody referred to as “Popetown”. He is charged with being the handler for the Pope who is a complete nincompoop with the emotional and mental maturity of a four-year-old. Father Nicholas must keep the Pope out of trouble, and make sure the general public does not find out that the Holy Father is a drooling idiot. Other characters include a priest who is a sexual deviant, and a trio of corrupt cardinals who secretly run Popetown and attempt to get rich behind the Pope’s back. These and other elements caused the show to be extremely controversial.

    The original English-language version of the show features the voices of actor and Popetown writer Mackenzie Crook, Little Britain co-creator Matt Lucas, providing the voice for one of the cardinals, and actress Jerry Hall. Ruby Wax is the voice actor for The Pope.

    The series was originally commissioned by BBC Three in the United Kingdom, but was dropped from scheduling without a screening in the wake of protests from Roman Catholics. The premiere screened on New Zealand’s C4 television network on 8 June 2005. Despite never being shown on British television, it was eventually released on DVD in the UK by Revolver Entertainment on 5 September 2005, in Australia by Roadshow Entertainment and in Germany, where it was aired on television, by Polyband. It is also currently aired on several MTV channels, including MTV Latin America, MTV Latvia, MTV Estonia and others. The show was also banned in some countries.

    The Smell of Reeves and Mortimer

    The Smell of Reeves and Mortimer was a BBC TV sketch show written by and starring double act Vic Reeves & Bob Mortimer. Its first series appeared in 1993 following the duo’s move to the BBC after parting company with Channel 4. The show marked a continuation of Reeves & Mortimer’s bizarre, anarchic and frequently silly comedy that they had first explored on Channel 4’s Vic Reeves Big Night Out, with a number of important differences.

    Firstly, Mortimer was now Reeves’s partner as opposed to his assistant on the previous programme. As well as getting his name in the title, he shared the trademark prop-strewn desk with Reeves.

    With virtually all of the Vic Reeves Big Night Out characters consigned to the past, a whole range of new characters appeared. The show also featured pre-recorded sketches and a lavish studio set, laden with columns and pillars and in the centre the enormous letters R&M, from which the duo emerged at the start of each show.

    The show would usually close with the song “Let’s Have A Little Bit More,” which saw the duo enthusing about the smells of things, from “Pol Pot’s Dungarees” to “Lulu’s Hairdos.”

    Vic Reeves Big Night Out

    Vic Reeves Big Night Out

    Vic Reeves Big Night Out was a cult British comedy stage show and later TV series which ran on Channel 4 for two series in 1990 and 1991, as well as a New Year special. It marked the beginnings of the collaboration between Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer and started their Vic and Bob comedy double act.

    The show was later acknowledged as a seminal force in British comedy throughout the 1990s and which continues to the present day.

    Arguably the most surreal of the pair’s work, Vic Reeves Big Night Out was effectively a parody of the variety shows which dominated the early years of television, but which were, by the early 1990s, falling from grace. Vic, introduced by Patrick Allen as “Britain’s Top Light Entertainer and Singer”, would sit behind a cluttered desk talking nonsense and introducing the various segments and surreal guests on the show. Vic Reeves Big Night Out is notable as the only time in their career where Vic solely took the role of host, while Bob was consigned to the back stage, appearing every few minutes as either himself or as a strange character. The two received equal billing in the series credits.

    On 3 October 2007, the first episode was re-broadcast on More4 as part of Channel 4 at 25, a season of classic Channel 4 programmes shown to celebrate the channel’s 25th birthday.

    Bang, Bang, It’s Reeves and Mortimer

    Bang, Bang, It’s Reeves and Mortimer is a British comedy television series, the third by comedy double act Vic & Bob and their second in a sketch show format. Directed by Mark Mylod and produced by Alan Marke, it was first aired in 1999 on BBC2. While maintaining certain elements from The Smell of Reeves and Mortimer, the show was very different in many ways.

    As with the previous sketch show, a song kicked off the proceedings, and once again the duo sat at their trademark desk. However, the desk was almost completely bare, and had a transparent front, through which the moving form of a naked man could be seen. The studio set was different too, the huge R&M letters replaced with large representations of the pair behind warped glass. The duo’s humour had evolved too, their chat at the desk seemed more improvised, but also more obtuse.

    There were also changes in the double-act dynamic. Vic’s character was frequently unhinged and waved guns and large blunt objects around with relish, while Bob played a slightly baffled innocent most of the time. As usual, however, they would tend to fall out very easily, which would result in one of their trademark slapstick fights, which grew more absurd, violent and freeform as the series progressed. One memorable instance involved Vic’s head becoming grotesquely mutated after a spin in a tumble dryer. Bob then gleefully set about the hunchbacked, pathetic Vic with a baseball bat.

    Catterick

    Catterick, aka Vic and Bob in Catterick, is a surreal 2004 BBC situation comedy in 6 episodes, written by and starring Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer, with Reece Shearsmith, Matt Lucas, Morwenna Banks, Tim Healy, Mark Benton and Charlie Higson. The series was originally broadcast on BBC Three and later rerun on BBC2. Reeves has said that the BBC do not want another series of Catterick, though he may produce a spin-off centring on the DI Fowler character.

    Catterick is arguably Vic and Bob’s darkest and most bizarre programme to date, balancing their typically odd, idiosyncratic comedy with some genuinely dark scenes. It plays like a darkly comic road movie, albeit full of Vic and Bob’s bizarre, often inscrutable and frequently silly humour. Catterick is probably Vic and Bob’s most uncompromising show since their notorious and frequently baffling 1999 sketch series Bang Bang, It’s Reeves and Mortimer, from which most of the characters are taken. It is in some ways stylistically similar to their short film The Weekenders first broadcast in 1992 on British television as part of Channel 4’s “Bunch of Five” series.

    The series is named after Catterick in North Yorkshire, Britain’s largest army base. It is about 10 miles away from Darlington where Vic Reeves grew up. It is also about 20 miles away from Middlesbrough where Bob Mortimer grew up.

    Shooting Stars

    Shooting Stars is a British television comedy panel game broadcast on BBC Two as a pilot in 1993, then as 3 full series from 1995 to 1997, then on BBC Choice from January to December 2002 with 2 series before returning to BBC Two for another 3 series from 2008 until its cancellation in 2011. Created and hosted by double-act Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer, it uses the panel show format but with the comedians’ often slapstick, surreal and anarchic humour does not rely on rules in order to function, with the pair apparently ignoring existing rules or inventing new ones as and when the mood takes them.
