[edit] Cancer research?

"Before moving to London to pursue a career in the civil service, Jim had worked as a pig farmer, a cabbage farmer, in cancer research and as a factory inspector." - i don't know but cancer research seems like an ood career move from pig farmer? is this correct it may need clarification. --User:Tomber

I think it's right for Vic and Bob each to have articles of their own, as they don't always appear together. Deb 20:10, 18 May 2004 (UTC)

Yeah, but I'm concerned about the duplication of information between here and the Vic and Bob article. Surely that article should talk about the history of the double act, and refer people to here and Bob Mortimer for the more detailed biographies. PaulHammond 17:26, Feb 7, 2005 (UTC)

Nah.--Crestville 18:09, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)

So what's his real (legal) name now? Vic or Jim? This article uses both Jim and Reeves.--Jmstylr 19:17, 7 May 2005 (UTC)

His real name is Jim, that;s what his family and, say, Bob call him. Vic is just a psyudonem. I still think he should be reffered to as Reeves in the article.--Crestville 15:36, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

His family actually all call him Rod... Jimshears 17:22, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

Does the first sentence imply that the _pseudonym_ was born in 1959?

[edit] Career bits

Just as a reminder for anyone who can remember more details than I can, does anyone want to add a mention regarding the short series he did (for satellite TV, I think) about (in)famous pirates and assorted other ne'erdowells, presumably as a follow-on to his appearance on Celebrity Mastermind with that as his chosen subject? I seem to recall that it was rather good, just not its name or the channel! Chris 21:08, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

It was on the History Channel or Discovery Channel and called "Vic Reeves' Rouges Gallery" or summat like that. Jog your memory at all?--Crestville 12:53, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Jogs my memory, just not my ability to articulate coherently, which is why I was trying to persuade someone else to write it up. :) Chris 13:01, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

What about the addition of his recent autobiography? I can't remember what it was called at the moment but it's a pretty good pun on his name. dnisbet 15 July 2006
