    Vic Reeves Ripper prog

    Did anyone else see this? I thought it was OK, despite not being overly keen on Reeves.

        not keen on Reeves either

        missed it because we were watching that new progamme boy meets girl which is very funny.

        thanks for this link...now i can watch and make up my own mind

          I lost interest once it became clear that Hutch wasn't a suspect.

          Not that I had any interest in Vic Reeves to begin with really..

          Sigh.

          What's a fledgling zealot to do?

          It's so hard being right all the time. Really - you've no idea..

            The clip I get is 1/5, but I can't find the other 4 parts.

            Despite my personal opinion (I saw it first time round and thought it was rather silly) I'd like to see it again.

            Can anybody help?

              Hi John

              The other parts are in the list at the right hand side - you may have to move back and forward a bit in the browser to get them all

              Incidentally - you can download programs such as "Videoget" which enables you to copy a Youtube link into it and download the video - When it is in clips like this you can stitch them back together with something like "Windows Movie Maker"

              Best Regards

                Celebrity Comedians Solve The Rippper Case

                What an odd idea to have a well-known comedian hosting a 'Ripper Investigation' documentary.

                Maybe the next American one will be hosted by Steve Martin?

                Either that or they'll play it real safe & go with Regis Philbin.

                  Hey John. I just tracked down the youtube entries of the Vic Reeves Investigates for you. Here are the URL's for all five parts:

                      Possibly a strange idea because the TV production company that made the program 'Stole the idea (commission) out right' from somebody else? As they did with another TV series they made.

                        Promotional material released prior to the show airing on TV suggested this would be a series, with Vic Reeves investigating several unexplained mysteries, but it never happened.

                          From what I understand, Reeves is quite interested in mysteries and suchlike. I think he was one of the first celebs to appear as a guest on an episode of 'Most Haunted' many years ago.

                            Thats probably because the commission for this program was originally agreed by Richard Jones before Ruggie Media were involved. They high jacked what was intended to be a serious documentary on the subject and combined it with an idea for the series you suggest...

                            But the original idea was for a show that gave a different celebrity a suspect and they argued the case for there suspect and the public voted for their favourite suspect.

                            Actually its probably a good idea that it wasn't made.

                              Vic appeared on the first ever Celebrity Most Haunted back in 2003 with his wife Nancy, as their home is said to be haunted. The show was spin off of Most Haunted, and didn't really take off, but the idea was utilised more recently by Antix Productions for the specials Ghost Hunting With...
