Line 9:
The second surreal comedy show put together by Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer, following ''[[Vic Reeves Big Night Out]]''. Considered to be some of Vic and Bob's best work. Had two series, in 1993 and 1995.
Rather than ''Big Night Out''`s parody of variety shows, ''[[The Smell of Reeves and Mortimer]]'' was a sketch show interspersed with Vic and Bob sitting at their desk and doing surreal things before an audience, a format which would later be built upon for ''[[Shooting Stars]]''. An intermittent character was the incoherent Uncle Peter (comedian Charlie Chuck) and guest actors included Matt Lucas and David Walliams (later of ''[[Little Britain]]'') and Simon Day and Paul Whitehouse (later of ''[[The Fast Show]]'').
In 1999 the two revived the format under the name ''Bang Bang It's Reeves and Mortimer'', which will also be covered here as it is essentially a third series in all but name. Even more surreal than their earlier work, Reeves and Mortimer considered it superior but it was less popular with the fans, perhaps because each episode was weighed down by a large part of it being devoted to a single recurring setting called ''The Club'', which was somewhat [[Love It or Hate It]]. ''Bang Bang'' also developed some characters and concepts that had been introduced in ''The Smell'', such as Tom Fun.
