Monkey - Vic Reeves - LEMONADE - fun

In the clip shown Vic taste tests Fruit Drinks for Morrissey the Consumer Monkey.



Vic Reeves' Big Night Out was popular enough in the early 90's to get 2 seasons out of Channel 4. It was The Tonight Show DNA mixed with Pee wee's Playhouse DNA all with a frustrated rock star undercurrent.

Reeves and Mortimer, the team who did the Randall and Hopkirk(deceased)remake series presented on BBC America last year, originally did Big Night Out as a stage show.

Vic, whose real name is Jim Moir, was actually friends with Morrissey at the time and sang on his cover of the Jam's That's Entertainment.


It's available at Amazon.co.uk - Just hack your DVD player to play other regions (using your remote) and problem solved.

Comedy's Bryan Ferry - Vic Reeves - Yo, Americans!

Vic Reeves' Big Night Out on BBC in the 90's was like the misbegotten spawn of The Tonight Show and Pee Wee's playhouse. Really funny - and it rocked. Just like this can't-get-it-in-USA disc.




There's too much to say here, but I think the jackhammer on "Oh, Mr. Songwriter" (Vic's theme) sums it up.

Buy it here at my Amazon store - or else!
