The Smell of Reeves and Mortimer

1993–1995 · 2 seasons

A gleefully silly, chaotic parade of bizarre characters and running gags that rewards surrender to its nonsense.

Genres
Comedy
Overview
The Smell of Reeves and Mortimer was a BBC TV sketch show written by and starring double act Vic Reeves & Bob Mortimer. Its first series appeared in 1993 following the duo's move to the BBC after parting company with Channel 4. The show marked a continuation of Reeves & Mortimer's bizarre, anarchic and frequently silly comedy that they had first explored on Channel 4's Vic Reeves Big Night Out, with a number of important differences.
