Vic Reeves’ Big Night Out
10.10pm from Sunday 4th October and 11.30pm from Sunday 11th October
G.O.L.D. travels back to the early 1990s to step into the manic and surreal world of Britain’s premier light entertainer, Vic Reeves, and his partner in comedy crime, Bob Mortimer.
After having made a name for himself in clubs and on Jonathan Ross’ The Last Resort, Vic Reeves’ Big Night Out marked Reeves’ debut TV series and became an instant cult success, taking as he did established variety themes (singing, special guests and a talent contest) and twisting it beyond all recognition.
When Vic and Bob threw all these different elements up into the air they came back down to earth in almost unrecognisable fashion, and the nonsensical characters and catchphrases galore made him one of the most quotable comedians of the decade.
The Man With The Stick, Les, Novelty Island, Graham Lister, Judge Nutmeg… they’ve all been let out of their box once again.
