‘Vic & Bobs Big Night Out’ Returns On BBC Four
Comedic duo Reeves and Mortimer not only are returning for a Christmas special of ‘Vic & Bobs Big Night Out’ – BBC Two, 29th December 2017, 9pm – but also a 4 episode series on BBC Four next year!
The new series will mark their 25th anniversary (yes, you are that old!) at the BBC which began with the ‘Smell of Reeves and Mortimer’ and continued with ‘Shooting Stars’, ‘Bang Bang’, ‘Catterick’ and ‘House of Fools’ to name a few.
“We are so chuffed and excited to be given the chance to re-invent the Big Night Out so long after it all began,” comments Mortimer. “We shall make it as joyous and surprising as it was all those years ago.”
“It’s playtime again,” adds Reeves. “All these years on and we can still both do the splits. We can not be stopped.”
Reeves and Mortimer have entertained generations of comedy fans and they still have the ability to constantly innovate and surprise, their unique brand of surreal humour has not mellowed with time. ‘Vic & Bobs Big Night Out’ promises to deliver their inimitable brand of slapstick humour to audiences old and new.
“Vic & Bob have created so many terrific characters and inspired ideas over the years,” says Shane Allen, Controller Comedy Commissioning. “The Christmas special sees them at the top of their game and this following series promises more daft, infectious and unique comedy madness from the daddies of the absurdly brilliant.”
The new series of ‘Vic & Bobs Big Night Out’ will be a BBC Studios production, and will air on BBC Four in 2018. The Christmas Special airs on BBC Two, 29th December 2017, 9pm.
