I've loved vic and Bob for 20 years. Each to their own. It was a ridiculous and nonsense as it should be
BTW. The prog that followed was very good

house of fools was comedy gold but the dark malevolance of catterick is a forgotten gem.

Started to watch it on the way to work this morning but had to give up at Bob's confessional. The 'good luck flumps' pegged to the Turin Shroud caused me to laugh so much my fellow commuters looked a bit worried.

It was nice to see Bill Decker back, last time I saw him he was impersonating George Michael on Stars In Your Eyes.

it had some good bits- it was oddly reminiscent of the formtive stuff back in NewX last century- ad lib performance sillyness- thank fuck they have dropped the shooting stars stuff.

I watched it on iPlayer last night and thought it was loads better than the one off from last Christmas. Afterwards i ended up on YouTube for a couple of hours watching old big night out / bang bang / smell of clips. It was all so fucking good and is still just as funny now as it was then

I know Mortimer can be hilarious, as he is for example on WILTY, but I have never got the humour in these Vic & Bob shows. Perhaps it would help to be stoned ?
Or perhaps you just have a different sense of humour?

I think both of them are funny but that show just left me feeling a bit confused .

Possibly. I enjoyed the original series both straight and stoned. I remember back in the day we'd a weekend long party where there was lots of booze and stuff and we all ended up watching about 3 hours of Vic & Bob into the wee hours ...
Did you not like Shooting Stars at all? I think I have a slight bias towards it, as I was coming of age in terms of comedy when it first came out, and it was my first exposure to Vic and Bob.

mrs NBE loves it - apparently reminds her of derek and clive- they are both feeding each other openings and struggling to stop chortling as they do it
What I always loved about Shooting Stars was that, regardless of who was on, Vic and Bob were always the focal points. Ulrika, Lamarr, Vegas and Jack, with his face like a needless comment, were essentially just props.
The Weekenders pilot for the sitcom that never was is fantastic.
Can't find it on YouTube now though
You can watch it on the C4 site-

Athletico Mince is the best podcast I have ever listened to. It's funny as anything. I think Bob is the brains behind much of Vic and Bob but is stilted by Vic in many ways.
You can tell a lot of the bizarreness in shooting stars came from Bob.
Loved Catterick too, would recommend for anyone who hasn't seen it.
