John Shuttleworth - Rare TV debut - Vic Reeves - Bob Mortimer

[@realscientistflanders1688]

Fun fact. Graham Fellows is now older than John Shuttleworth

[@rocknrollramblers4051]

Went to see him last night (Shuttleworth) was absolutely class …

[@animatedapologetics]

Well, I've never felt sad after watching either Shuttleworth or Reeves and Mortimer before. :)

[@simonsimon325]

Don't feel sad for the Christmas orphan. He's in heaven with his mum and dad and god in all his majesty la lieeeyah.

[@Gandim45]

Don't make the same mistake as me. I started making hand gestures like John, when singing along to songs. It's terribly addictive. I can't stop now and my wife thinks I'm mad.

[@johnm2558]

Andrew Parish I’m the same, I’ve even started punching the air on key phrases.

[@Roo986]

If you want to rise to the top, you need to give the crowd a bit extra !

[@Rodiraskal]

A cautionary tale, thanks for the warning.

[@Gandim45]

@@Rodiraskal Oof!

[@kenmills30]

I spent years thinking he was a real person with a deadpan line in brilliant observational humor of the mundane and trivial before I discovered he was 'Jilted John', his ability to stay in character is second to none. Steve Coogan's Partridge is great but there's times his own personality breaks through.

Abso-bloody-exactly

[@DavidJones-hi3xp]

Beyond criticism! Absolutely wonderful stuff!

[@kevinpierce3458]

I remember this being on at the time, I loved it and it now feels very cosy

[@AnthonyMonaghan]

What a gem...He's a real master of the Casiotone! It's hard to believe that this is Graham Fellows and not the actual character he inhabits.

[@chloedevereaux1801]

its a yamaha pss 480 or 580, i had both.... its also the same soundchip as in the opl 2 / 3 on soundblaster pc soundcards...

[@mike-myke22]

Sounds like a Christmas number two. ♥

[@mookie2637]

The dialogue sounds like it's improvised. In which case Jim's deadpan reaction to the "it's not funny though" line is a masterpiece.

[@shhhplease1050]

Brilliant, from much happier times.

[@calebrush3833]

meks me feel raight christmassy!

[@bunwi]

John and Vic and Bob... a combination so right. Thanks!

[@ShabbaRanksMF]

this was the reason I learned what the word 'detritus' meant.

[@rogermoore6102]

2020 Covid Christmas time . Cheered me up no end . The good old days of visiting friends and family wasn't breaking the law.

[@onlyme219]

Quality entertainment genuinely, Oh yes 👍 Nice to see John got over being jilted

[@maltesetony9030]

The songwriter that Bob Dylan could have been.

[@racefaceec90]

strange to be watching this in july 2018 in the uk. it's 25 deg c atm in the middle of a heatwave lol.

[@Lesinator]

This was fantastic. Thanks for finding it

[@davidbsearle]

Hey Simon, couldn’t believe my eyes when this popped up in my KZbin recommendations!

[@sakent]

Presumably his only TV debut - rare indeed! :)

[@tjfSIM]

Ha ha!

[@metafis]

Jilted John Shuttleworth....great comic and entertainer.

[@davethecurrymonster]

Brilliant 👍👍👍👍👍

[@Iffy]

If only he'd done a duet with Frank Sidebottom! :(

[@chibuku1]

Iffy l

[@AnthonyMonaghan]

Ooft...he's a bit of a nutter that Francis Sidebottom. A liability!

[@adewale007]

The north remembers. Tres bon.x

[@Hellwyck]

Jilted John!

[@camptoursandthat4439]

John makes my juice rise.

[@SuperStaticGamer]

Great song john

[@paulsmartialarts]

He was on Saturday Zoo before this

[@mireillescott3647]

He would have been brilliant as one of the Goons with Sellers Milligan and Secomb....but he's already iconic as JS... BBC give him his own show

[@EVERTONFC.]

Boss.

[@PaulShendtown]

Wasn't his TV debut. John Shuttleworth appeared on Jonathon Ross's Saturday Zoo several times earlier in the year.

[@liborsionko]

I remember him on JR giving advice to Lenny Kravitz, to 'punch the air on key phrases'

[@handlesarefeckinstupid]

That's what I thought as well.

[@Jamal_Tyrone]

Jesus, what a joyful song!

[@derek-press]

merry christmas everybody :)

[@markjscottfilms]

Did John Shuttleworth appear on 'Packet of Three' before this in 1991?

[@agavehouse]

He did indeed !

[@keithrobson593]

Didn’t find it funny at the time, because I didn’t get it. Now couldn’t be a bigger fan of Mr. Fellows. We met him after a gig in Newcastle, had a pint with him and he was class.

[@stevenlasvegas4425]

Belting!

[@kathrynwebb5114]

Selling that keyboard alone is not going to make much money to provide for their baby

[@Liv1ngTheDream]

Enough for a few pints of booze, at least

[@lennythunderhoops]

You can't give booze to a baby

[@jakemoo7553]

Is this before Pulp, because he looks a little old.....

[@dubstar457]

JAKE MOO 1993..

[@davidwaddington9414]

Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer funny ? NO. John Shuttleworth a genius ? YES.
