Wossy is actually responsible for getting them discovered and was an advocate for them to both the BBC and Channel 4. He’s a really good friend of them both and was the one who saw the live show and thought it would work on TV. Don’t like him but he’s a good egg and a great spotter of talent.

Bless Jim, he just wasn't built for interviews and tv hosts just weren't built to deal with him, he's a Dada-ist, an obsurdist, his eye is drawn to deconstruction, you can't expect conventional conversation and it would be a bad move to try mirroring his humour.

I think Ross saw Vic n Bob in their very first amature shows in Depford, and gave them their big break. In fact i think Big Night Out was a Ross production, so its strange that he's so shitty with them. I think he (Ross) is a bit intimidated by them. I think the audience are a bit clueless too which doesnt help.
