Vic and Bob's Big Night Out review
Bags of soil, corned beef, and a talent show judged by Jeff Goldblum's ironing board had top billing as the chaotic variety show returned.
Sarah Carson, i Newspaper, 29th November 2018Vic and Bob's Big Night Out review
It opens with a song which just happens to be one of the greatest they've ever done, as they insult a couple eating a meal and which includes the lines "Shut up, shut up and just stop talking shit".
Alex Finch, Comedy To Watch, 29th November 2018Reeves and Mortimer reprise their cult variety show parody with the first in a four-part series. Random questions - "How high is your cat?" - and a song-and-dance routine designed to sabotage romantic dinners are great, but top of the pile is "Britain's only gay man" and his pet owl on Novelty Island.
Mike Bradley, The Guardian, 28th November 2018TV Review: Vic & Bob's Big Night Out
I don't know how they've done it but Vic and Bob really have recaptured the old magic again. Actually I have got an inkling of how they did it. It's by shamelessly repeating some of their best moments.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 28th November 2018Vic & Bob's Big Night Out on BBC Four
You Can Do It should be an instant classic for all fans. It should also be a message to BBC executives considering whether to commission more episodes, from this ever-inventive duo who remain on peak form.

The duo keep up their infectious mirth with saucepan fights and dad jokes.

Could a new fishing partnership really come between comedy's most anarchic duo?
Chloe Hamilton, i Newspaper, 23rd November 2018Vic and Bob interview
Grow up? You must be joking! Almost 30 years after they subverted television comedy with the anarchic Big Night Out, Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer are bringing it back.
