Shot in a studio in front of a live audience, this high octane half hour features songs, sketches and silliness in buckets. Novelty Island is open for business once again, while a very popular television show gets the Reeves & Mortimer makeover treatment. The show also features Matt Lucas, plus Mel Gibson and Idris Elba as you have never seen them before.
Kicking-off the first of this four part series, Vic and Bob interrupt a couple's cosy dinner date in the studio with a lively song and dance routine. Vic reveals his hitherto unseen circus skills and impressionist abilities, while Bob makes a very revealing confession to a reverend who might be hiding a secret himself.
Vic debuts his new act for the Royal Variety Performance much to Bob's amazement and the pair of them embark on a ghost hunting experience in a disused toilet. Fans will be delighted to see the return of folk singing oddballs Mulligan and O'Hare with the classic ditty My Darling Rose and there is a sketch warning of the dangers of wayward fireballs. There is also an exclusive preview of a new album from Andrew Neil and Professor Robert Winston, as you've never seen them before. Will Vic be able to fool Bob into thinking he is really part otter and part human - and in desperate need of a toffee crisp to eat before he slips back to the riverbank? Ending with their uplifting song You Can Do It, you can certainly expect the unexpected from start to finish with Vic & Bob's unique blend of ingenuity and humour bursting out at the seams.
Tonight Vic & Bob are joined by a very special guest star, the incredible pop singer George Ezra – who proves he is a dab hand with a hammer and nails in Novelty Island before trying to perform his number one hit single Shotgun. Joining George Ezra in the Novelty Island paddock tonight is the infamous Mr Wobbly Hand and Graham Lister who shows what can be achieved with a pair of knackers and crackers. Back at the desk, Bob shows Vic his brand new, on trend wig, which appears to have taken on a life of its own before it reaches a rather soggy end. They embark on another spooky ghost hunt, this time in the disused dressing rooms of some of the BBC’s biggest television stars. They also return to their urban roots in an energetic Free Runners sketch and introduce us to two new characters who reveal what really goes on behind the scenes on a David Attenborough natural history shoot. According to them anyway.
Vic & Bob's Big Night Out returns with a bang. Judge Nutmeg dispenses punishment to an unsuspecting audience member, the Ghost Hunters are on the prowl and Bob takes us back to the 80s with a special performance.
A welcome return for Novelty Island, a special rendition of That's Magic as well as an appearance from Michael Portillo as you've never seen him before.
Vic presents Bob with a striking new wig, Vic reveals his secret to beatboxing, and the Man with the Stick returns. Sketches include the Free Runners and Frank Roddam's latest inventions.
Mulligan and O’Hare present their album Caravan Park, and Vic reveals his latest plastic surgery enhancement. Three acts battle it out in Novelty Island while Vaun tries to lure Vic away from Bob.
