Robin Murray, The Bristol Post, 25th January 2021Essential episodes: Catterick episode 1
Vic and Bob have had many a success over the years, from Big Night Out to The Smell Of and Bang Bang It's Reeves And Mortimer, and of course Shooting Stars was huge for them, lasting for many years. But the one time the public haven't loved a series was when they created their best work, the sitcom Catterick, which told a six part story about a man searching for his lost son. All of the episodes are equally strong so choosing the best for this feature was quite difficult, so I went for the first as it serves as a superb introduction to the madness that would ensue.
