Vic Reeves Big Night Out (1990)
Absolute rubbish!
"Vic Reeves Big Night Out" is stupid humour for the very juvenile mind. There is more intelligent humour to be found in a children's day care center than in this show.
I like surreal humour as much as the next person, but I swear I could feel my brain cells dying off while viewing this waste of time.
Fortunately, Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer redeemed themselves later with the enjoyable and stimulating Randall and Hopkirk(Deceased).
If you have not yet purchased this show on DVD, keep "Vic Reeves Big Night Out" out of your DVD collection. If this is what a Big Night Out is like, I'd rather stay in.
Randall & Hopkirk (Deceased) (2000)
Stimulating and enjoyable.
"Randall & Hopkirk (Deceased)" is a fine remake of the original late 60's/early 70's supernatural show. Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer do very well in their roles of private detectives Jeff Randall and Marty Hopkirk.
The special effects are brilliant. The story lines are original and captivating. This remake is every bit as enjoyable and thrilling as the original series.
I believe that the high point of this series is Tom Baker as Prof. Wyvern, who helps Marty Hopkirk adjust to his new situation as a ghost. As always, Tom Baker is an asset to any show. He brings his own particular brand of eccentric humour to all of his comedic roles.
If you like supernatural story lines mixed with a hearty dose of humour, you'll love this show.
