The condensed version of the Big Night Out stage show arrived on our screens in 1990
following an un-broadcast pilot and soon became a cult hit.  Each show followed a similar
pattern of host Vic Reeves linking regular items such as Novelty Island, Les facts and That's
Justice whilst being helped and hindered by Bob in various guises; Lister, The Man with the Stick, Wavy Davy and himself.  Vic's regular assistant was the mute Les.  Each programme had the feel of a variety show with Vic opening and finishing the show with a song and
regular turns(all played by Vic and Bob).
NOTE: The New Year special features a prototype for Shooting Stars with celebrities
            partaking in a bizarre quiz show.
