A regular feature was a spoof of a then-current TV programme, such as Food & Drink, which saw host Chris Kelly (Bob), whose face was a piece of toasted cheese with a box of tea bags taped to his head and whose legs gradually became ridiculously long, afterwards boiling his head in a pot to "prepare a nice pot of tea", and Antiques Roadshow, where a termite mound containing the singer Prince was found inside a wardrobe.

They accuse anyone, be it the postman, a traffic warden or a milkman of "inspecting our charms" and also get very angry if someone inadvertently comments that they're "flat-chested" Also, despite telling the unwitting person they're dealing with where to stick the items they have to give them, they usually just take them anyway.

Le Corbussier et Papin Vic and Bob as two extraordinarily flatulent Frenchmen, in a series of sketches that were filmed in the style of arty French comedies (titles included "L'homme, L'homme, L'femme (La fenêtre)"), accompanied only by whimsical music and the duo's deliberately dubbed on French-speaking voices (the French dialogue made virtually no sense.)

They usually saw the pair riding along on their bicycles before encountering things which were deemed worthy of investigation (a kids' playground, where they got a roundabout spinning by the sheer volume of flatulence; a funfair where they attempted to fart-start a motorbike).

Noddy (Vic), Jim (Paul Whitehouse) and Don (Mark Williams) were the three mischievous ones who were constantly arguing, wrecking the house and messing around with fireworks, much to the annoyance of the motherly Dave (Bob).

Also featured famous Midlands musicians Ozzy Osbourne (Neil Morrissey), UB40, Roy Wood and Simon le Bon (last two Charlie Higson).

They have released groundbreaking albums, such as The Onion Ring, Moods, Coffee Break, Pancake Day and Tittybiscuits, and are well known for their instrumental cover versions of popular songs such as When a Child is Born and Brimful of Asha.

Otis Redding & Marvin Gaye Vic and Bob played the soul music legends as the show's resident "agony aunts;" two tiny puppets who were on a TV in a cupboard, "sitting on the dock of the bay watching the ships coming in and going out again."

Jack Dent & Eric Potter These two were always up-to-no-good in a series of '60s style public information film spoofs, set in the Country, the Factory and the Home.

The narrator was revealed on each separate occasion to be a guitar-wielding spring onion, a crab, and a man called Mr Porridge, whom the duo shot.

These sketches used the voice of Patrick Allen - the voice-over man for the series, and utilised his previous experience narrating public service films.

Products this time included the coffee-table books Dogs in Their Hats and Cats in Bomber Jackets, Webster's Savoury Edible Tights and Papa's Nappies For Men.

Spoofs of then-current TV shows continued, including MasterChef spoof, with Vic as Loyd Grossman with a huge bulbous head floating around the studio to the sound of bells, and the contestants including Morwenna Banks as Joan Baptiste, who presented a faceplate in the form of Jesus Christ, with her own severed ears the speciality, Matt Lucas as the victorious Quentin Mint, who presented a human backside with a side salad, and Bob as the hapless Lucas Bon'chomme whose replica cake of a shoe ("Cake like a shoe, it's a shoe-cake") turned out to be a real shoe, as did his "cakey-phone."

Uncle Peter was as insane as ever, tormenting the duo with his tales of upgrading to "donkey" status in British Rail carriages, leaving his family heirlooms lying around on the desk and showing off his singing German owls.

Mulligan & O'Hare released two albums, Pancake Day (which earned them a South Bank Show profile, although presenter Melvyn Bragg appeared to be more interested in his bicycle) and Coffee Break.

The Bra Men, Pat Wright & Dave Arrowsmith, got more offended than ever when they appeared on Stars in Their Eyes, and Matthew Kelly (Bob) commented on how well supported they were.

They would try and advertise dodgy products such as "Fun Bins" and "the Service Post" before a flaw in the design would inevitably be revealed, leading to a violent fight, Evans (Bob) accusing Cox (Vic) of being a "fat bastard".

Tom Fun A perpetually optimistic children's entertainer, played by Vic, who invented cheese along with his friend Mr Grapefruit Drink.

The Stotts Returning from Vic Reeves Big Night Out, Donald presented This Is Your Life to Davey, who "wrote Jingle Bells", had "recently had a Vesta Curry" and fought in the "Flalakand War" where he went on the task force and ate a number of biscuits.
