News about Vic Reeves

Being dive-bombed by terns and pooped on by puffins is all in a day's work for Jim Moir as he hosts the second series of his travel-cum-art show. Painting Birds With Jim & Nancy Moir, co-starring his wife, takes the pair to London to spot peregrine falcons, Derbyshire for dippers, Wales for plovers, and Northern Ireland - where Jim gets the unwanted present from the puffin.  Artist Jim, who first found fame as comedian Vic Reeves, then captures the birds on canvas. 

It's a far cry from what you'd imagine the office of a TV station to look like, from the poster-covered walls to the piles of film lying around. But old-fashioned is the name of the game for Talking Pictures TV; a retro channel that revives classic films and cult series and feeds it back to the audience that 'television forgot'. Noel Cronin, a 76-year-old film buff, helps his daughter Sarah (left) from his back garden in Chipperfield, Watford, where he uses a pad and pen to create a schedule from his library.

With all the usual pomp and pageantry, the annual Lord Mayor's display took place in the City of London today. Michael Mainelli, the new Lord Mayor of Westminster, was carried to Westminster in a gold carriage to promise allegiance to the throne. The extravagant celebrations for one of Britain's oldest traditions were brimming with pomp and pageantry in London's financial district. The exhibition is one of the oldest procesions in the world dating back to the 13th century. It has only been cancelled twice in that period, the lates in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Mr Mainelli, an economist and former accountant, has been named Lord Mayor of London for the 695th time.

CHRISTOPHER STEVENS: Jim Moir, a bird watcher, lives around the country with his wife of 20 years, former model and I'm A Celebrity contestant Nancy Sorrell. They're on the hunt for unusual animals to study and capture on canvas, beginning with curlews on the Aln Estuary in Northumberland. 'It's Britain's biggest wading bird,' Jim said, as the gameshow host revealed the winner of tonight's game.' Vic Reeves may have died, but he will not be buried. Painting Birds is unable to experience the bucolic splendor of Gone Fishing because it refuses to relax. Jim did not even appear to listen when sitting in a hide with an aquatic expert. Rather, he was cruising around the box with his binoculars, only paying attention when the cameraman caught a peregrine falcon.

Despite being brought together as a double act, Vic Reeves, real name Jim Moir, has admitted that he no longer'speaks much' to his sidekick Bob Mortimer. We never really talk much,' the comedian, 64, told the Radio Times. We've never been known for talking on the phone. We'll see him every now and then and have a chat about stuff.'

Viewers became bored of seeing her on television screens in the late 1990s, according to consumer advocate Alice Beer. Donna Ferguson, the 57-year-old, who is now This Morning's Consumer Editor, tells Donna Ferguson that she earns only a fraction of what she used to when she co-announced BBC's Watchdog. She and her long-term partner Paul Pascoe, 62, and their twin girls live in Fulham, South-West London.

EPHRAIM HARDCASTLE: Has King Charles already commenced the rehabilitation of Andrew? On Sunday, he appeared at St George's Chapel in Windsor, Ontario, alongside the Princess Royal and just behind Charles. This is in comparison to Christmas, when the disgraced duke was compelled to linger behind to avoid being photographed with senior royals. The heightened profile on Sunday wasn't accidental. 'It could be interpreted as the King's warning that there isn't really a split, that Andrew is still a member of the family despite not being a working royal.' The King's enthusiastic delivery of a nifty gin in York evoked his late grandmother's equivocal appearance at a Berkshire school fete in the 1980s, when no tonic was available. The Queen Mother made short work of her tumbler-full, despite the fact that it was heavy on the ice. When asked if she would like another, she replied, 'Thank you.' 'No ice,' Brian Cox, the son of Succession, was at the funeral of his alter ego Logan Roy. 'I thought I'd better go because I knew there was going to be a lot of paparazzi there,' he says. They started clicking away as soon as I got out of the car.' I was able to forget that it was my funeral straight away.' He adds mischievously: 'When did I die? I believe it was last July,' oh my goodness.'

They came to fame in the early 1990s with their witty comedy and soon became household names. Vic Reeves, AKA Jim Moir, has admitted that he no longer'speaks much' to his sidekick Bob Mortimer. "We never really talk much," the comedian, 64, told The Radio Times: "We never really talk much." Talking on the phone has never been a problem for Bob and I.

EXCLUSIVE: They were two of the best actors on British television in the 1990s, winning millions of viewers for their portrayal of 'Papa and Nicole' in Renault Clio ads. Max Douchin, the super suave, château-owning Frenchman, appeared, and Estelle Stornik sang his beautiful daughter. Both became sex symbols as they embarked on romantic adventures, dazzling millions of Brits with their Gallic style and sophistication. So much so that many people wept when they appeared together for the last time in May 1998, many of whom seemed to be mourning the demise of a glorious period of frivolity and Provençal sunshine.

Vic Reeves and his partner Nancy Sorrell are celebrating 20 years of marriage. The comedian, 63, celebrated the occasion by posting snapshots of himself and his wife, 46, who is 16 years old, sporting matching personalised T-shirts. Vic and Nancy sported T-shirts with photos of them dressed up in wigs and glasses under, as well as the words '20 years' below.

Not even an appearance by Vic Reeves has been able to save bizarre BBC2 comedy The Mind Of Herbert Clunkerdunk. After two series, the film, which had been selected for a BAFTA in 2019 and starring Spencer Jones as the wannabe stand-up Clunkerdunk, has been cancelled. Jones, who also wrote the script, may not have aided his cause by bursting the fourth wall in the final scene of the second season.
