Catterick was panned by critics when it first came out. I really can't see why, its excellent and I think the strongest work they have ever done (I do fucking love their other stuff as well though). Some of the greatest bits of comedy dialogue are in this series. If you like this, have a look for The Weekenders, a pilot they made for a competition in the early 1990's. Its similar to this, but they are just young lads.

@SeahorsesJay 5 жыл бұрын

It's amazing. So many genres used, so many devices. Amazing cast. Music from Jeff Beck. Best one-off comedy of all time in my opinion

@NxDoyle 5 жыл бұрын

I think part of the reason may have been the critical mindset at the time. If you can accept that, regardless of credentials or credibility, critics are wankers, then it's fairly easy to accept that they consider themselves influencers, a word I hear a lot these days. In 2004, the comedy du jour was the more naturalistic one-camera comedy, kicked off in Britain by Gervais & Merchant. A lot more up its own arse than the balls out silliness of Vic & Bob. Were they to make Catterick from 2008 on, perhaps the critics wouldn't have been quite so sniffy.

I came very late to Catterick, actually very late to Vic & Bob in general really. But better late than never. I absolutely love their angles into comedy. People define it as surreal, or absurdist, or just plain silly. And all of those descriptions are fine. But to me, the single defining characteristic of their work is that it's joyous.

Thanks for uploading! What I've seen of Vic and Bob's stuff has never really grabbed me before, but I loved this. I only just found these videos yesterday, and once I started watching I couldn't help binging the whole series. I expected batshit surreality, but was surprised and impressed by the compelling storytelling, gripping cliffhangers, nifty editing, skillful acting, and genuine emotional depth.

5:10 I don't know why it's always funny when Vic Reeves pokes at or points at things with a pen. He did it on Shooting Stars. Just to make myself giggle, I used to do it at my old job when explaining to customers what options were part of a deal. I also love the intense eye contact and cheeky wink while blowing up the balloon.

@splat4097 3 жыл бұрын

Bob saw Free when he was 13 and they became his favourite band. Vic also loves Free. They grew up close to each other in the North East and went to the same gigs but didn't meet until in their 20's in London. All this comes from Bob's Desert Island Discs appearance which serves to reaffirm Bob as an all round diamond.
