Omnibus - The Film Of Reeves And Mortimer - Part 3/6

The third part of the Reeves and Mortimer edition of Omnibus - the documentary looks at the comic double act and traces their career from their first meeting. They talk about their work, lives and influences, along with comments from fellow comics, friends and admirers. There's also early footage of the Big Night Out shows at Goldsmith's Tavern, and it's all tied together with Jim and Bob burying a car in Jim's garden.

It's worth remembering, whilst watching this, that it was broadcast just after the third series of Shooting Stars.

All copyright goes to the BBC. I simply wish to share this gem, as it will almost certainly never be broadcast again.

Narrated by Sting
Written and produced by Paul Morley
Directed by Kevin Hewitt and Paul Morley
A Tender Production for BBC Omnibus

Enjoy!

I never knew Vic/ Jim had a tattoo.

I can't believe that Lighthouse lady didn't let them in.

i love that they list matt lucas as "fan." that's like when they listed daniel radcliffe as "fan" in the fry and laurie reunion.

I'm not sure how I feel about the music when vic is floating under the water. it's either really moving or really disturbing...
