I never fail to snigger like a cartoon villain at his Peter Beardsley stories. Beautiful northern listless tedium mixed with absolute nonsense.

For me, that video on the other page is a good test to see if someone is humourless. I don't know how anyone can not be howling when his wife starts on him for the quality of his "boilers".

This is 100% what makes Bob's comedy work. It's the exact right balance of flights of fancy/surrealism with the crushingly mundane; and that's where I think Bob does excel while Vic is a little more lacking - as they moved from Vic Reeves' Big Night Out to Bob having equal billing, you start to see more and more of that, the oddness and surrealism is coupled with the incredibly ordinary, and often with very specific brand names or local references.

Big Night Out (its more like the Smell of Reeves and Mortimer really) is back for a new series. The special at Christmas wasnt very good, but apparently it was just a clogged together mess with no time to do sketches, so they just rushed it out. The new series promises to be better, with Matt Lucas and Matt Berry joining in on a few skits by all accounts.
