Vic Reeves Big Night Out
Saturday, 01.25, Channel 4

Channel Four’s comedy season continues with a welcome screening for a series that is terribly badly served on DVD, thanks to a ludicrous decision to not just cut out the ad breaks, but also all references to the ad breaks so sketches that straddle them are rendered completely unintelligible. We buy DVDs to get more, not less, and we all know it was on a commercial channel. We think is from series two. Then later at twenty past two it’s a rare outing for Chelmsford 123, and also a rare chance to remember that Rory McGrath was at one point tolerable. We reckon they might only be showing it to embarrass Jimmy Mulville now he’s a massively powerful TV executive, mind.
