First viewed : Spring 1990
I sat back in amazement as the shockingly wooden amateur I'd seen on The Tube years earlier rose to fame as one of Britain's best-loved comedians with his unique blend of slapdash surrealism, aided by barrister buddy Bob Mortimer. I did tune into this, effectively a TV version of his stage show filmed pretty much live, occasionally to try to understand the phenomenon but found it fairly impenetrable.
It ran for two series.
An older cousin got me into this and I loved it, but then I was always a sucker for the strange and silly - still am, really. I would imagine Reeves himself would surely agree that meeting Mortimer was the best thing that ever happened to him.
