Apparently that was improvised too and they just said “that’s the one” after that take. From then on they ended all the John Craven bits with the Dalek voice.
It's really very simple, actually. You just need to convince your mum's sister to track down and seduce Mr Mortimer, then trick him into marrying her, and Bob's your uncle!
Bob Mortimer giving his Brandy character a lazy eye is such a subtle yet genius touch. Much like his part in Mulligan and O'Hare where he doesn't have a neck.
Whiskey & Brandy fcuking hilarious I woke up this morning & in my head was these two saying TOO WEEEE but I couldn’t remember who it was but after a few searches I’ve found it at 1st I thought it was from Little Britain but soon realised it was Vic & Bob great memories with these two Comedy Gold 😂✌🏼💙🙏🏼👍🏼🏴
I can remember playing this video for my mate and him crying with laughter - especially when Vic Reeves slips down the embankment and intrudes on a spot of quiet fishing.
Only just discovered Tom Fun after 15 years and wondering what he's doing now. He's got a whole cart of cakes with him in every sketch so it's not just when he's on a long walk in the moors.
There are certain comedy programmes that not only stand the test of time but actually improve with it. I'd definitely put "A Touch of Fry & Laurie" in there along with Reeves and Mortimer. You never new where "R&M" we're going with a sketch but you'd always be laughing your head off at the end. Totally surreal and brilliant.
If you like those shows, try bits of Mitchell and Webb . A bit more cerebral but sketches like Ultron , numberwang and the evil supreme needing building work done are right up there.
Nothing pisses fisherman off more than something that might spook the fish... slides down the bank on his arse and kicks his tackle in the river. What an entrance.
For all those stuggling to understand why Vic and Bob are so highly revered let give you a one word reason - inspiration. Like all great innovators they're legacy is the newness of what they did at the time. We all new it was brilliantly diverse and funny but it needed them to expose us to it. It's all in the subtlety and the depth of observation of the characters. Characters, that in order to find funny you have to appreciate the multi-layers. Please don't talk crap about Harry Enfied etc - all of which are great but they didn't deliver the heights of V&B. Yes it is often inconsistent but that's the difference between genius and the mainstream - you have to understand and accept that when appreciating it.
Less and less people understand the truth of what you're saying in these politically controlled and technologically ordered times we live in especially the under 40s who have been conditioned in intellectual rationalized conformity based on the obvious and structured thought where randomness and creativity has little place and is almost seen as a form of idiocy or the result of an unbalanced mind.
Lorne Campbell I disagree with the inconsistent part! I think it's all interesting and inspired and even the bits that dont make me laugh entertain me now and then in a intriguing or artistic way! Also it depends on your mood. Every time I watch I laugh at different parts!
@@James-yy4vl hi yes I agree! I've just been trolled for 2 days straight by some vicious little troll just because I said there's not much funny stuff on telly anymore? Can you believe it?
I spent a few months in Denmark with the army in the 80's and made some great freinds. One of whom im still in touch with. I wish brits were as layed back as you guys are but as for humour, you're right, very similar
'Itsa wayles eyeeelash!' this program made my childhood! im 17 and NONE of my friends know about this program i cant believe it, every good comedy nowadays is inspired by them
When i was first based up at Catterick garrison we'd go up and watch a very early version of 'Big night out' It was a great place and time We were spoilt with Vic and Bob and Viz Quality. At Darlington i think it was and they once played a venue in Consett. No one wanted to be designated driver (on shark watch-if you know you know)
Hi, Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer have provided us with a signed photo to auction to raise money for Dorset Wildlife Trust. We have listed this art up on eBay which you can find by searching Dorset Wildlife Trust on Ebay and would love for you to take a look. This is not something we usually at Dorset Wildlife Trust, but we wanted to let you know so you wouldn't miss out on this unusual auction.
Tom Fun states that he will be walking 12 miles on the Eskdale Way from Lealholm to Glaisdale. I live nearby and know that it is actually less than 2 miles. I will not be able to take Reeves and Mortimer seriously any more due to this major inaccuracy.
oh come on, you failed to take into account that, after the first sherry, he will be disorientated and will divert to Ainthorpe....happens every time with me. It's exactly 12 miles and you should be ashamed of yourself for doubting them.
Back to watch it again after 3 years…some bloody things you just cant let it go!! No i wouldnt. This is my number twoo after the first masterchef. I just think of them sitting down writing this and bob says….what if countryfile was presented by a bunch of city boy, ignorant to wildlife and utterly unconcerned people, and vic laughing his walnuts off..
The intro with the land rover driving through everything always has me in stitches.
Absolutely the funniest part of the whole thing, hysterical
The fence remains unrepaired to this day
My dad had one and he literally drove it like that I remember him reversing through a gate and just heading off 😂
The Dalek voice is just unnecessarily brilliant
Everything's unnecessarily brilliant ;) Thank god for them ;)
It was very necessary.
Bob seems to have a thing about John craven . He said milton Keynes is boring but scary , like John craven with big metal teeth .
'Unnecessarily brilliant' is brilliant!
Apparently that was improvised too and they just said “that’s the one” after that take. From then on they ended all the John Craven bits with the Dalek voice.
Since seeing this I can't stop doing the Dalek voice at the end of every sentence, co-workers are starting to get enraged.
we all love a Dalek
Yes!
🤣🤣🤣 27 years on and my sister and I still say certain sentences like this to eachother. Never gets old!
Love that idea 💡😂
Exterminate them!
Tom Funs outfit is just amazing - and a lot of fun
it really is.. a lot of fun
A lot of fun
It's quite a fun outfit - not easy to put on, but a lot of fun once it's on.
@Kenny Groundhopper and the bright red glove 😂 "is it giro day Tom?"
Int that fun
23 years later and I still laugh at the raised voice at THE END OF EVERY SENTENCE!!
Something rather unusual DOWN ON THE FARM!!
I actually love Bob, he's such a funny bloke. I want one in my home.
It's really very simple, actually. You just need to convince your mum's sister to track down and seduce Mr Mortimer, then trick him into marrying her, and Bob's your uncle!
The fishing segment is one of the funniest bits of television of all time.
I love the way watching Vic n Bob reminds you of one of those strange dreams you have where you wake up and think 'what was all that about then!'
I had the double VHS of this smell of reeves and Mortimer ... brilliant . Many a Friday night after the pub we'd have this on
The Glory Days eh?
You raised hell...
णथजडठृ ल
I still have it 😎
Good times
Bob Mortimer giving his Brandy character a lazy eye is such a subtle yet genius touch. Much like his part in Mulligan and O'Hare where he doesn't have a neck.
And his funny trouser leg
He's taking the p1ss out a couple of a Scottish interior design duo that were everywhere at the time, the one Bob is lampooning, had a lazy eye.
So it's not subtle or genius it's just copying the man
The part with the land rover discovery driving through everything has me crying 😂
Love how he has his hands in his pockets as soon as he gets out of the land rover 😂😂😂
An entire milk churn full of sherry should last "virtually" the entire walk. It's gonna be a lot of fun!
Everytime I see John Craven on the telly I always do my finest Bob doing John Craven in the style of a darlek impression.
3:57 - sliding down the embankment on his arse is the finest scene ever.

lmao absolute genius's. Two of the best comedians ever and its even funnier when you can relate to them being from the north. Northern Pride!

@@jaediccacairns4754 You mean numberwank?
I'm glad Bob went on to make another series dedicated to him falling over while fishing. Shame Paul hasn't taken him to the Hedex though...
"Join us next week when I reckon we'll get that off". Hahahaha.
I wish him luck 🤞
This is the best line Hahahah
And his look of complete contempt and disbelief that she's being so unreasonable by not getting it off 😂
Run for your life before the beast awakens!! Haha love it! 😃
I remember as a young boy watching Vic & Bob's big night out. Funny as
Hahahaha, absolute comic geniuses … so awesome, 2020 and forever ;)
It's such a little thing to take off!!!
Crying laughing at this thanks for sharing comedy geniuses
There’s something inherently funny about that four-wheel skid through the sign at the start.
"Look whiskey,it's not a ball..it's..an..Eye..ee".
😂
What kind of a beast would have an eye like that apart from a whale?!😀😀😀
@@KRPTV aye...but whales don't have EYELASHES
Tom Fun cracks me up so much!
Directed by Wendy Boatcomin. Excellent.
The best fall into water ever!
I love the bit where bob says “careful mate you’ve just kicked me tackle in there”. Don’t know why
Nothing pisses fisherman off more than something that might spook the fish... slides down the bank on his arse and kicks his tackle in the river. What an entrance.
"Show me your bottom!" Hilarious!!!
+Insolitum Studios in a darlek voice
I wanna hear it!
I must watch this clip about 4 times a week, cracks me up every time lol! John Craven is funny, then so is Brandy and Boland. AYYYEEEEEE!!
Bob has always gone fishing as Robert Di Niro from taxi driver 🤣
Bob turns into a Dalek at the end of each sentence :D
Wendy Boatcomin...classic
I thought the credits were genius:
Tom Orrosworld
Matt Lockinderbyshire
Wendy Boatcomin!
I hope the passing of time has made you rethink things
@@johnsmith-wx5fb I doubt a village near the town of Tadcaster in Yorkshire would have the cognitive capacity to rethink anything.

Thanks for posting mate. Great memories :)
What an entrance
I can never see John Craven in the same light after seeing him try to get that birds top off.
"It's alright he's dead, put the rifle down" 🤣
Reeves and Mortimer are the funniest guys ever
I miss these two, REALLY miss them.
A better time. ❤
They're both still alive and active...
Yes I know, I meant miss them as an active comedy duo
Love John Craven's transformation into a dalek!
Thanks for posting this, Smokey.
LOL @ 4:08 "Use that one mate!" I don't think R&M realised their own genius when they created Chris Bell!
Chris Bell-Mickey Flanagan😂
Haha, same! 😂
The Chris Bell acting is Oscar stuff. The little "I don't care" shrug....
You know when someone is inherently funny when you're grinning before its even started.
Haven't seen this in years but when they were good they were amazing
Never seen this one - brilliant!
They must've had so much fun filming the intro.
John Craven-dalek impression is amazing
Gold.

You big pungent willy.
I think you will find that Vic went back to his real name (Jim Moir) and is doing acting rather than comedy ;)

An over analysis. Its great comedy , simple.
As a dane i simply adore the english humor... very similar humor us danes and english folks have i think
Rene Holm glad you like it
nice one except of course English folk would probably spell humour correctly lol … not like a seppo

Tom Fun and his 'snouts' - according to 1970s TV shows, inmates in British jails (or gaols) called cigarettes 'snouts'. Had Tom Fun ever been in jail?
I love the intro lmao!
Fishing on the River Hedex will the name of my first solo record
I keep mine in me traaazers
"Catch 'em! KIll 'em! Use yer stick....Come on!!!" 04:30 LOLZ! Classic stuff!
4:03 THIS IS THE FISHING SHOW THAT PAUL WHITEHOUSE AND BOB JUST MADE. They just swapped Vic with Paul. The swines.
And Bob fell over
How very fucking hell.
Let’s have showwaddy going on a a twelve year show doing bringing babies up ?
Rofl Brilliant Thank You, Man!
The credits at the end are great. Chris Bell is a real person he lived in Hartlepool, so Bob Mortimer told me last time he came in my pub.
legendary !
fun fact: the german word for egg sounds almost exactly like when he said "eye"
'Looks like one of your wife's stockings! Nah- I'm sure she's a right tasty bit of crumpet!'

What a fun clip.
LMAO at Bob turns into a Dalek in his voice when presenting this :D
almost too wee
I never knew that Mick Hucknall presented Country File
Tom Fun states that he will be walking 12 miles on the Eskdale Way from Lealholm to Glaisdale. I live nearby and know that it is actually less than 2 miles. I will not be able to take Reeves and Mortimer seriously any more due to this major inaccuracy.

I think 3:56 was unscripted.
Chris Bell totally RULES!

I always say that this is the best character performance of all time. Wish Chris Bell would come back somehow. 😪
Fly away prince
YES!!! I thought I was going mad, nobody else but me could hear it. :D
2:26 Tom Fun reminds me of Elvis Costello.
it's actually Harry Styles 🤣
@@RussJoysandsorrows Harry Styles was born in 1995. Tom Fun ain't Harry Styles.
I love the way they look like they got their costumes from charity shops of the day.
Tom Fun needs his own series.
Oh wait, he did. He was renamed Matt Baker. 😜
I wish countryfile was like this!
Have you seen Vic's face when ha says "look, it's a ball!"
ha ha LOL :)
The best bit for me was the names in the credits. Wendy Boatcomin!!
a lot of fun
What's the music playing at the start... can't seem to track it down.
should be alota fun, vic and and bob always cheer me up
Cool stuff 😁
