The bad smell of Bob Mortimer
Vic and Bob's stuff is bedizened with racist material; their black- and brown-face sketches are far more abundant than those of comedians who were censured during the onset of the Black Lives Matter movement in 2020. This was criticism the pair completely evaded unlike their long-time collaborator Matt Lucas. And loveable Uncle Bob is the main culprit of the two, having seemingly blacked-up at every opportunity on Shooting Stars even when to do so had no obvious significance for a given sketch.

British Comedy Guide, 14th 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.
