One and done: Vic and Bob's Lucky Sexy Winners

Being a huge fan of Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer meant that before watching this 2012 pilot from the duo I presumed by the end of it I'd be shaking my fist at the injustice of it not being given a full series, and indeed that was the case. It's not as if Vic and Bob are exactly newcomers to tv either, presumably Channel 4 knew exactly what they'd be getting from the deranged duo and so it feels odd that it wasn't picked up.

Swimming with Men review

Swimming with Men is harmless, entertaining fun that won't leave much of an impression.

Swimming With Men review

In this likably daft Britcom, a motley group of blokes stave of their midlife crises by forming a synchronised swimming team.

Swimming With Men review

Rob Brydon's charm keeps this formulaic comedy afloat.

EIFF: Swimming With Men (30 June '18) review

Fun performances and sweet turns of narrative ... Swimming With Men is a comedic success

Swimming With Men is easy to get along with

It's very easy to get along with, boasting a big heart that it wears proudly - like a particularly bright and cheery inflatable armband.

Swimming With Men review

Rob Brydon falls in the deep end with unfunny comedy on midlife blues.

Review: Swimming with Men

Rob Brydon takes the plunge in this undemanding but gamely performed dramedy.

Rob Brydon to star in new film Swimming With Men

Rob Brydon will take the lead role in Swimming With Men, a new comedy film about a man who joins an amateur synchronised swimming team.

British Comedy Guide, 2nd May 2017

The lowbrow HIGNFY has a new guise these days. Rejuvenated teams seem to be at the root of this - goodnight Sean Lock, who remains on the Countdown version of the show - but with Jimmy Carr remaining, unsympathetically as ever, in charge. Rob Beckett and Aisling Bea now captain the teams as the panel roam ineptly among the week's most popular news items. Tonight's guests are Thomas Turgoose and First Dates maƮtre d' Fred Sirieix.
