Press
Another splendidly silly foray into Vic and Bob's playpen, featuring a 'jazz fight', more moaning from Angelos the burger van owner, Jack Dee trying not to laugh and Kim from How Clean Is Your House? offering up some priceless facial expressions when Vic turns on the charm and turns a Marigold glove into a fish. Who says TV doesn't teach you anything?
