About this show

Iconic comics Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer are back in this surreal sitcom full of impossible situations and anarchic japes. Set in Bob's home, he is frustrated by the line of uninvited guests that never leave him in peace. Vic has moved in, always encouraging his side-kick Beef and ex-con brother Bosh to partake in his outlandish plans, with complete disregard for Bob's well kept house. With a stellar cast including Matt Berry, Morgana Robinson and Dan Skinner this is warm and wonderfully original comedy with huge laughs from start to finish.

Very unhappy with Google. I love this show and bought the complete collection at Christmas using a special offer. The box-set disappeared from my account and when I raised the issue they cancelled the box-set and refunded me. This is not what I wanted, I just wanted access to what I have bought - no confidence in google play store now!

Probably the funniest programme ever made, its genius is easily comparable to anything from the Monty Python stable. Utterly unique and unashamedly British comedy.
