Smell Of Reeves And Mortimer, The

Before they shot to stardom with their celebrity TV quiz ?Shooting Stars,? Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer ? real names Jim Moia and? Bob Mortimer ? wrote and performed the most bizarre and, in my opinion, funniest sketch shows of recent years. The Smell of Reeves and Mortimer ran for two series of six episodes each and is still considered by most Reeves and Mortimer fans to be their finest and weirdest achievement. STYLE Vic and Bob present the majority of the show from their large studio (which they call their house), emerging from huge ...  Read the complete review

Vic and Bob, Reeves and Mortimer - somewhat confusing eh? Naah, everyone knows which is which by now don't they? Just in case - Vic Reeves is the tall one with the bulbous head and Bob Mortimer is the shorter one with the bendy face. The Smell Of Reeves And Mortimer grew out of the massive success of Vic Reeves' Big Night Out - a silly little theatre piece that did hugely well all over the UK. Back in these days I wasn't too bothered with these two - overly silly, random comments and really not at all funny. Let's just say they grew on me, the cheeky chappies. OK then, The Smell (as it will now be called), what's it all ...  Read the complete review

Jim Moir and Robert Renwick Mortimer are men of an acquired taste. They are like marmite, either they leave you wanting more or you can't see what all the fuss is about. Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer first appeared on saturday Night Live , to then be given their first show Vic Reeves Big Night Out on Channel Four. How I laughed at a fruit bowl and a bald man who was greatly afeared of chives. Week after week I sat there recording every episode with the fervour of mad woman. I must know all the songs. I must know what the man with the stick has on the end of his pole. All these questions addled my mind like a month old pint of milk bereft of modern ...  Read the complete review

FOG FOG FOG. I could go on but I doubt I could give these two justice. When I first saw Vic and Bob during Vics Big Night Out, I laughed about it for years. Les' face when he saw spirit levels was a picture of tranquility. I honestly thought things couldn't get any better. The the duo moved to BBC2 and Bobs name was added to the programmes title. Bobs increased repsonsibility and credit made the show what it is. The addition of Uncle Peter, back from the dark place, gave a new dimension to the programme. Who could forget his band; "I want to be Erotic I want to be in Tattler But more than that, I'll tell ...  Read the complete review

With characters like Mulligan & O'Hare, uncle Peter, and of course the Stotts, this has to be the most insane, strange, and hillariously funny things on the TV. Ever. With bazzar songs warning you about the dangers of spilt muisly on clifftops, sketches about two flatulent French cyclists, and not forgetting about the Reeves and Mortimer factory in wait for it.... Kent! The reviews of the publications: "Side parting weekly" and "Center parting monthly" are hillarious. "Page 55 of MY publication is cut into the shape of a Webley automatic pistol"-Vic "...AHHHHH, so what. My publication has a transparent motorised fishcake which walks ...  Read the complete review
