फ़ीचर्ड समीक्षाएं
"Catterick", starring Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer is brilliant! The first episode is very strange, but rest assured all will be explained--eventually.
The series premise is that Chris Palmer (Bob Mortimer) returns to Northern England, to find the son he abandoned years ago (when the child was four). He meets up with his brother, Carl (Vic Reeves); and the two go in search of Chris's son. They do this by interrupting the robbery of a car dealership to steal a car (yes, you read that right); thus invoking a series of catastrophic events without realising it).
The end, which I CAN'T reveal here is a brilliant piece of existentialism! (And trust me, I normally can't stand existentialism, but in this it's brilliant).
In terms of style, *Catterick*, mixes music, humor, comedy, drama, and some VERY dark bits, into a sublime mix.

Vic & Bob are back!!
Irreverent humour at it's absolute best. This program shows exactly the sort of python-esk comedy that the BBC so badly needs, but this show is definately a post-watershed show and is all the better for it as there is nothing else like it (or ever imho).
Vic plays Chris, a 70's permed guy who is a few cans short of a six pack with Bob playing Carl, a man whose come back home from the army to look for his long lost son. Both Vic and Bob also play other roles including a nutty police inspector and a cross eyed accident victim getting laid respectively.
Add in Matt Lucas as (amongst other roles) the Psycho Hotel Manager with the strangest accent ever heard (Scouse meets Geordie meets Indian meets German meets French) who constantly picks on the porter which must be a tip of the hat to Basil Fawlty, Charlie Higson as a Barman and Morwenna Banks as the Hotel Receptionist who is married to the Hotel Manager.
Can't wait to watch the rest of the series and would recommend it to any fan of the genre.

This comedy has everything for me. My favourite comedians/actors. I have never laughed at any other comedy like I have this one. It's cleverly under-acted, which makes it a winner. All the characters are real to me. Even the sinister parts have me in stitches. Only criticism is there was only one series. Please make more! I'm still quoting lines from it and am always imitating Chris staring through the window. As for the bullet scene, this literally kills me with laughing. I cannot recommend this enough. Why isn't it on TV more? Thank you, Vic and Bob, for bringing such humour into the world. I salute you both!
I saw Catterick when it was first on BBC3 and was indifferent to it. But i saw it again and it's a real grower. More in the style of BANG BANG Its Reeves & Mortimer and the 1-off bizarre show, The Weekenders - Catterick is original and funny and well worth a second look. And this is in total opposition to the woefully bad All Star Comedy Show. Vic & Bob are back on form. Ture that Bob is not allowed to be funny enough and should be less of the straight man. Even so - that's minor. The show is an acquired taste granted but even so, the BBC are utter @rses for not showing this on terrestrial TV yet. WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR YOU LOONS!!! SHOW THIS NOW!!!! They might as well have buried it in the Blue Peter Garden.
The show also boasts fantastic performances from Matt Lucas, Morwenna Banks, Mark Benton, Reece Shearsmith and the wonderful Tim Healy ("nah, no need man, no need it's just a matter of keeping her waaarmm"). As well as great cameos from Julie T Wallace, Charlie Higson and Mark Gattiss. And i really love the Dennis Potter-style use of music from Chris Rea to the Smiths to Crystal Gayle.
This show has keep me in quotes for a while now - stuff like "your tickling my turnips intcha?", Tess's icy box, dogs that sh*t fruitcake and Bilberry Polar crush all make me laugh. Pity more people can't see it. I cannot look at a George Clooney poster now without smirking.

Catterick may not be as hilarious or well-polished as Spaced and The League of Gentlemen, but it's definitely worth a watch if you like that kind of comedy.
Written by and starring Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer, it is clear from the start that it isn't going to be an ordinary sitcom. The show follows two brothers, one of whom is searching for his estranged son, around the town of Catterick. Along the way they encounter some very odd people, such as a cruel but very funny hotel owner played by Matt Lucas, and a psychopath played by Reece Shearsmith.
It's pretty surreal humour at times, with characters suddenly miming along to songs in the middle of scenes, and others having conversations that appear to make no sense whatsoever.
It may not set anyone's world alight, but it's definitely worth a watch.
