Its first series appeared in 1993 following the duo`s move to the BBC after parting company with Channel 4. The show marked a continuation of Reeves & Mortimer`s bizarre, anarchic and frequently silly comedy that they had first explored on Channel 4`s Vic Reeves Big Night Out, with a number of important differences.
