Bang, Bang, It's Reeves and Mortimer
Bang Bang - It's Reeves and Mortimer continues the anarchic and surreal blend of offbeat comedy that has made the duo so popular. The series is arguably a continuation of The Smell of Reeves and Mortimer, although a number of new characters were added. There's also a spoof fly-on-the-wall documentary about Baron's Night Club – a clear precursor to Peter Kay's Phoenix Nights . The high-voiced Stott brothers--who appeared in Vic Reeves Big Night Out --return to terrorise celebrities. The show capitalised on the duo's success with the spoof game show Shooting Stars and brought in a darker edge to their humour.

Episodes
1. Episode 1
Vic and Bob return to the sketch show format in a programme featuring Tom Fun and his friend Derek, the Stotts and special guests Caprice and Damon Hill. The programme also includes fly-on-the-wall docu-soap The Club, which centres on a top cabaret nightspot in Hull.
2. Episode 2
Sinead O'Connor joins in the fun as Vic forks out for a new vacuum cleaner and Paul Baron organises a talent competition in which viewers are treated to a bizarre rendition of a Deep Purple classic. Plus, a slot featuring a group of German dancers with inflatable breasts.
3. Episode 3
The Stotts conduct a high-brow interview with Nick Ross of Crimewatch and the hunt is on for America's most incredible vegetable. A talent show is held at the club and it looks like the judges will have their work cut out : the contestants range from a man with a dead fox on his head to a farmer with an astoundingly large piece of machinery.
