Further details
Tonight Bob showcases his incredible new 'Diversity' style dance routine which he has heavily invested in and been working very hard on. He eventually forces a reluctant Vic to join in, which naturally has mixed results.
The Man With The Stick makes a long awaited and triumphant return - all the way from the future where he has been living in an apocalyptic land, under a tyrant ruler.
Characters Donald and Davey Stott take to the stage to perform one of their most ambitious magic routines to date, which leaves everybody speechless.
Vic & Bob pull a special wish bone each, which makes their innermost dreams finally come true after all these years of working together. Did they really get what they wanted?
They end the show with their song You Can Do It, proving that after over 30 years in the business together they really can still do it, with trademark originality and style!

Press
Given that the first two series of their comedy extravaganza ran to seven episodes apiece, is it wrong to feel shortchanged as Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer's four-show run reaches its conclusion? Really, we should be grateful for every surreal minute we get to spend in their company. Here, they open with a skit on vehicle maintenance among the celebrity community, surprise us with an "up-to-date dance project" and save the best for last when the Man with the Stick returns from the future in all his silvery splendour.
