Families at War - Reeves & Mortimer (Vic & Bob)

Running only one series and never released on video, Vic & Bobs Families At War pitted members of opposing extended families with each member challenged to perform his or her special talent. The results were then judged by a different jury each week and the winning family had the chance to win a bunch of prizes in a very.Vic and Bob kind of way.

I loved this show! They should bring it back and that game at the end is awesome, it led to me shouting "I am the water-boatman!" at school for weeks!

[@markxist]

I loved this. It's a real shame the Beeb never had (indeed, they still don't have) any confidence in Vic and Bob beyond Shooting Stars. Everything else other than The Smell Of...lasted just one or two series (Bang Bang, Randall and Hopkirk, Catterick, House of Fools, this) They just don't understand them, though they clearly like the idea of them

This was amazing. I couldn't believe the beeb let this surreal anarchy go out in the Saturday teatime slot. Obviously it perplexed and disturbed people, as it lasted ONE series...

Lol watch me lakka man!
Great memories from the late 90s when life was much simpler.

WOW, 1st time I've seen this. It should have a health warning, I nearly died with tears through laughing. Best comedy ever, genius.

I hope Weather Report got some rights money for that theme tune.

Any and Dec did a programme a few years later that had similar elements of FAW about it. Of course, everyone thought *that* was brilliant.
I've got all of FAW on a tape. Tried watching some last summer, though I must admit that I only lasted til about ten minutes into the second episode.

[@myastark]

Do you still have it by any chance? The other 3 eps aren't released and can't be found anywhere online, it would be so wonderful to see them.

[@bromley001]

@@myastark I do still have the tape, yes - never throw anything away, me - and I imagine I'd be able to find it fairly easily. But I just don't have the equipment I'd need to put a VHS tape online, I'm afraid.

[@myastark]

@@bromley001 Would you consider teaming up with someone who could? I am in the US so not me, but, there is a large group of fans at reddit.com/r/vicandbob lots of whom are in the UK and could probably help.

[@danmoore8388]

@@bromley001 if you can find the tape, i'd happily help you get it digital and online

[@jamesatkinsonja]

'Ant vs Dec' on takeaway reminds me of this a lot [especially when Ashley Roberts hosted it in the Alice Beer role].

more more more more more.

I love Vic and Bob, but that song at the beginning, with both families singing, is up there with one of the worst things I’ve ever seen on TV. The show deserved to be axed for that alone.

[@collinhunter9792]

was really amazed at how kenny was better than i imagined....BUT wat a load of shite the whole programme was.........does vic reeves think he is a 90's version of Eric Morecambe? i think so

[@antster1983]

+Collin Hunter He did dress as Eric Morecambe on a few occasions to interrupt Bob in Vic Reeves' Big Night Out. And he did play Morecambe's dad in a BBC drama a few years ago.

[@luilebeith]

Yes, it was patchy at times, but I thought it was still a lorra fun
