  • There's vacuum cleaners, Chinese takeaways and fatherly advice abound in the first episode of this very...erm, unique radio show.
    For what might be the first time on RUclips, experience one of the holy grails of 1990s radio comedy! (if you're prepared to accept the fact that there's more than one holy grail!)
    This is the darkly comical world of Victor Lewis-Smith, from 1990, combining sketches, satirical songs, hoax phone calls and abuse directed at well-known figures of the time, like Esther Rantzen, Lloyd Grossman and The Queen Mother. Oh, and you also get the original Radio 1 jingles by JAM Creative Productions.
    At the time that this programme was broadcast, it was considered one of the most dangerous and offensive programmes on Radio 1. Of course, Victor's style of comedy would influence the likes of Chris Morris and Charlie Brooker...but that's another story altogether.

    All around this time the radio was just bursting with amazing stuff. VLS. Chris Morris. On The Hour. Iannucci. So much truly subversive stuff. Theres just no producer that would be this interesting and broadcast or fund this anymore.

    Back when we laughed at what we heard and not what we heard and saw. In the future we'll probably only laugh at we hear, see and smell. That's progress

      Definite similarities in delivery from both. But shouldn't it be more a case of Morris sounds like Smith? As I'm pretty sure Smith was on the air broadcasting way before Morris. On both Radio and TV.

      @@cuntchops23 they had a bit of a spat about it IIRC. After Morris admitted the influence of VLS on his work, VLS responded with something along the lines of "I suppose imitation is the sincerest form of being a plagiaristic bastard".

    Lewis Smith was always working "against" the bland BBC content. The jokes are superb and timeless. The Office was trash. I hated it. When you compare The Office against the genius of anything by VLS there is no comparison.

    Victor was the man who reviewed The Office when it first came out and basically said it was utter crap destined to fail.! It reminded me of the Kenneth Williams quote on critics: "I loathe them, they're like the eunuchs in the harem - they're there every night, they see it done every night, but they can't do it themselves."
