- Synopsis:
- Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer's first series together was broadcast in 1993. Soon established as the finest double act of its generation, their superb two series of anarchic sketches, slapstick violence, wicked parodies and sheer hilarious nonsense included: The unique talents of Le Corbussier et Papin, The South Bank Show on folk idols Mulligan and O'Hare, That cup-a-soup feeling with Slade, The antics of Uncle Peter, Advice from Otis Redding and Marvin Gaye, The bra-wearing men (and there's nothing wrong with that!) Pat Wright and Dave Arrowsmith. Not to mention Vic And Bob's amazing products, groundless prophecies, outmoded opinions, hocus pocus and much jiggery pokery.

Averagely average - The Smell of Reeves and Mortimer: Complete Collection review by AW
In the first 10mins or so I thought I'd made a big mistake in ordering this as one of my selections in CinemaParadiso rentals. I hadn't really seen R&M's comedy before and like Vic from a number of more recent dramas in which, for a comedian, he turns in a good performance. Initially this show of sketches looking ridiculously infantile, with Vic and Bob prancing about like lunatics. However I persevered and in fact it got a whole lot better and more intelligent. There were some genuinely funny sketches later on and R&M don't seem to mind dressing up in the most preposterous costumes.
Evaluation: somewhere between 3-4 stars altho' I'll leave 3 stars. It's OK.

Vic and Bob at their best - The Smell of Reeves and Mortimer: Complete Collection review by RH
I love Vic and Bob's back catalogue of work, and in my opinion, The Smell of is their best sketch show. So many great and classic sketches. Defo worth a watch!
