Catterick, aka Vic and Bob in Catterick, is a surreal 2004 BBC situation comedy in 6 episodes, written by and starring Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer, with Reece Shearsmith, Matt Lucas, Morwenna Banks, Tim Healy, Mark Benton and Charlie Higson.

Reeves has said that the BBC do not want another series of Catterick, though he may produce a spin-off centring on the DI Fowler character.

He has a one-man show called "Dreams of Parsimony" which involves him playing flute while climbing onto a chair.

His biggest ambition is to own "luxury pets" such as "a soft white poodle, a lobster, a venison and a silkworm."

He has always wanted to stay at the Mermade (sic) Hotel, which is why he and Carl end up stealing Tony's car.

Along with his permanently baffled partner Webster (Matt Lucas), he enjoys a night on ecstasy in order to become a "oneness" with the suspect.

He has a habit of wearing ridiculous pink boots and constantly puts his feet up on tables and chairs to appear imposing.

By the end of the series, it turns out that Tony is in fact Carl's long-lost son, Paul Anthony, at which point he is supposed to be dead.

After Mark caused an enormous accident at the annual flotilla the previous year, by bathing semi-clad on the rocks and being mistaken for a "sensual woman."

Oates captured him on camera and threatens to send the pictures to the press if Mark steps out of line.

He very nearly joined a black rock-funk band, "sort of like Osibisa" but decided to stay home and look after his wife, who is freezing cold to the touch and has to be constantly kept warm with electric heaters.

Ian finally comes to the realization that his wife has been dead for quite some time, but believes that it could have been the journey to the hospital that truly finished her off.

These were: The theme tune from Reeves and Mortimer's short-lived BBC One gameshow, Families at War, can be heard playing at Mark's disco featured in the second episode of the series.

The British Prog-rock group Crippled Black Phoenix sampled Reeve's character DI Fowler in the song "Laying Traps" on the 2012 album (Mankind) The Crafty Ape.
