Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer have reunited on screen for the first time in many years. Mortimer makes a guest appearance on the Painting Birds With Jim And Nancy Moir Christmas special.

The episode's blurb explains: "In this Christmas Special, the Moirs search out festive feathered friends at Penshurst Place in Kent. Here, they make friends with a Snowy Owl before joining old pal Bob Mortimer for an artistic rendition of the Robin. But it's the Waxwing that holds Jim and Nancy's heart as the perfect Christmas bird - so together with their daughters, they head to Finland to look for these beautiful creatures as they feast on berries. Along the way they create traditional decorations with a Lappish artist in a magical cottage and attempt to recreate the Northern lights on canvas around a nocturnal campfire in the forest."

Painting Birds With Jim And Nancy Moir will air on 20th December at 8pm on Sky Arts, which is available on Freeview.

Below is a preview clip in which the two stars discuss what is the most iconic festive bird:
