Bad accents, the return of Graham Lister, and "Idris Elba" worrying about his kestrels getting wet. Yep, Vic and Bob are back with a one-off episode of their much-missed show. As ever, they offer meandering comedy that isn't afraid to disappear up a cul-de-sac, provided there's a gag to be found there. That all this silliness imbues a warm sense of familiarity shouldn't be taken as a criticism, but an indication of the duo's abiding influence.
