The Weekenders The Meat Festival pt 3

[lnfreeman]

How convenient that the A-Z isn't actually in alphabetical order

[lrb662003]

can see a lot of this in the mighty boosh

[joemac5367]

oh and did anyone catch a young John Thompson of later "Fast Show" and "Cold Feet" fame as the policeman?

[joemac5367]

This was shown on Channel 4 as part of a series of comedy pilots. Something like "Packet of 3" I think, and this was absolutely brilliant at the time. May seem more weird than funny now. Must get round to watching Catterick some time and seeing how it compares!

[retread01]

Very weird. I love Vic and Bob but it is easy to see why it wasn't commissioned. Too zany in a fraught way and Vic gets quite annoying when he is acting in that way the whole time. Catterick is hundreds of times more refined and not reliant on Vic acting like hyper idiot who over plays every line.

[MrGixer69]

KIOSK or BOOTH? theres only one way to sort this......FIGHT

[bigguscurlyus]

As much as I absolutely love this, I can understand why not everyone would get it!

[28parklane]

this was hilarious

[brekfastnewz]

Why this wasn't commissioned I'll never know

[dadswizz]

that's a pantry ! classic

[billybadbrakes]

6:05 You can't beat a bit of Geordie Alien Peace & Harmony philosophy can you?! Ha ha!

[proffesornutbutter]

that was amazing

it would have been mint if it was actualy made into a proper series.

its a bit like Catterick actually

[JapeUK]

I knew that was Napalm Death when they ran out of the pub!

Also I'm a tad confused by the credits, written by Jim Moir, Jim played by Vic Reeves? Why did Vic/Jim use his original name, sort of.

Still brilliant stuff, I like Catterick but this is a lot more inline with BNO, a lot more light-heartedly silly. Tis a shame it was never commissioned, I mean after the success of BNO how could this not look like a winner?

[LiekaQueenofDarkness]

I noticed that in the credits too, and also with you on the utter foolishness of it not being commissioned! Silly of them.

[LiekaQueenofDarkness]

This is brilliant! Definate aspects of their later Catterick in there. Why oh why was it not approved!

[christopherlee123]

Old Disprin

Old Discarded Clam

Old Discarded Pram

[lizzzzardking]

Ta for posting, I thought i'd seen everything vic & bob did!

[markh79sax]

[Amazedkiwiduct18]

It's a complete bitch that this wasn't commissioned. It's so lovely.

[DaughterofKyuss]

'Behind hedge 8 area B'

This has made my day! Thank you!

[BARKERSTEVEN]

I havn`t seen this since 1992 hilarious!!! And the presidential car was not an Allegro but an Austin 1100.Thanks for posting this piece of comedy genious!!! Geordie aliens LOL

[blaster2012]

Fantastic,been looking for this again for years.

Thanks for posting!

[IsaacIsaiahMusic]

It said the 'slow policeman' was Tommy Cockles. But Tommy Cockles was a character by Simon Day.

[tireoghainian]

I love the presidential Allegro. I love Vic and Bob..LOL

[aposteve]

haven't seen this for years, top quality.

[TrippingOverGod]

Is this the only thing that uses Jim's real name and credits him as playing Vic Reeves as a character?

[ShaylahShmoo]

What the handbag, carnival, partridge underfelt is going on with this?! Thanks a lot for posting. Haven't seen it since I was but a wee bairn

[spudgun19781]

nice one had it tape but lost it meats smart.

[laktvinholland]

I love egg nog me!

[stringsleeves]

Ta for this I also laughed my ass of with this came out, I agre they should have commissioned it. Can anyone confirm this, I am I right in saying this one one of 6 contenders in a series channel 4 did once to pick the best one for commission into a series, and was the winning entry Man Behaving Badly?

[AndyLuke]

BWAHAHA TRUEFORMS !

I watched two of the other five and nothing resembling Men Behaving Badly was among them. Wikipedia lists it as starting the following year on ITV.

[iainjames03]

I mentioned it just now on the first part - it was part of the 'Bunch Of Five' showcase on Channel 4. The other two I can remember were Dead At Thirty by Paul Whitehouse and Charlie Higson with a load of flatmates getting up to mischief and playing 'Ghouls and Ghosts' on a megadrive, and Blue Heaven by Frank Skinner which went on to be made into a series.

[khaotiqua]

Pretty sure another one of the 'bunch of fives' was an Alexi Sayle comedy

[axischameleon]

Great to see this again. It's been too long! Thanks for the post.

[mroyan]

Excellent work on getting this to the masses. I watched this in 91 and have been on about it ever since. The others in the series where rubbish (whatever it was called 5 something)

[khaotiqua]

It was first aired in 92

[mroyan]

Well done you are right! A tool for pointing out my error but right never the less!

[popgirlpink]

thanks so much for putting this up, have it on video but no video player any more. I LOVE IT

[JudgeMenthol]

cheers for putting this on pet

[jeffo600]

what was 50 pints and 50 kebabs for comic relief???

[OnionTerror1]

Excellent. I've been trying to find that for a while. I haven't seen it since it was frst on telly.

[Foundacion]

That is 'mini cooper with a pooper scooper that promises to be supa doopa!' I've a big fan of Vic n' Bob ever since Big Night Out, Cheers Luke.

Darren from Middlesbrough.

[tireoghainian]

This series should have been comissioned.

[joeybell]

Has to be the best thing they ever did (done?), well apart from 50 pints and 50 kebabs for comic relief!
