Vic Reeves fan club vhs Early Reeves and Mortimer footage

From the sleevenotes:

"Vic Reeves first began performing his 'Variety Palladium' in Winstons, a small bar in Deptford, South East London. It was here that he met Bob Mortimer and together, in 1988, they began 'VIC REEVES BIG NIGHT OUT'. They took over the back room of The Goldsmiths Tavern in New Cross, and from then on, for a lot of people, Thursday nights were never quite the same again. The show quickly out grew the venue and it was transferred to The Albany Empire in Deptford a year later. Soon every show was sold out in advance. Top TV executives were often to be seen in the audience and inevitably, in November 1989 they recorded a pilot show for Channel 4. They were given their first series that night. Two series and two sell-out nationwide tours later, the Big Night Out is no more as Vic and Bob concentrate on a new show for the BBC.

This video, introduced by Vic and Bob, features rare clips of an early show at Goldsmiths, highlights of the Albany shows, as well as some material recorded during the first Tour in Autumn 1990. With the permission of Channel X Television, we have been able to include a short extract from the never seen before Pilot.

The quality of some of the footage is poor as it is taken from the only remaining copies, however, we felt that it was necessary to include it for it's historical value.

Jack Dent.
