Catterick | Series 1 Episode 6 | Absolute Jokes 

...And he came first in _several_ races at high-school!

Agree

No.

Better than 'Big Night Out'? Get a grip, lad!

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

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.

@@NxDoyle Yeah I completely agree.. I think this is actually ahead of it's time in many ways and it went completely over the head of the critics.

Yeah other commenter was right this was completely out of style at the time. Still brilliant though, critics are wanks

If this had come out when the mighty boosh got big critics would have been fawning over it

Mark Benton. Never too late. Superb🙌

Keep on truckin!

ant and dec are better

Jon Page are you saying these Charlatan tv directors are throwing us a bent spoon you say? MY GAWD

I do not spook easily so you are wasting your time with these surprise attacks!

im actually from catterick garrison..and i agree it wasnt filmed anywhere up here..yet theyve used names of local places north allerton station there is a northallerton and it does have a train station...id love to know if theyve ever actually been to catterick seeing as vic/jim is darlington which is only a 10-15min drive up the road.

I know...

Comic

I think they kind of 'shot their load' so to speak on these six episodes. If you like that kind of thing then definitely watch Psychoville

@@MrArchie800 I'm so glad I scrolled through the comments and found this. Watching Psychoville now. Brilliant!

I'm from the future and I'm still stuck at home in lockdown watching Catterick.

@@ivorbiggun710 Thanks for your reply future person 👍

Yeah I know

It's just a big bloody joke to you!

Do you know of any other programmes like this with vic and bob ?

Indian

You're beautiful x

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.

Sadly this was all for Catterick. 6 fantastic episodes.

Look for "free - only my soul" it's definitely there

The turkey in the box was funny though...ah feck it maybe they should have made a second series.

What adverts? "Ublock Origin" browser addon.

Come on man - an Amiga fan should be tech savvy!

It's timeless. Even when it came out it looked " dated " . It's their own unique world in my opinion
