Did anyone see this last night. I am sure people have recorded it.
I was really pleased at how it came out. M & W TV stuff nowadays tends to separate into talking head hagiographies or maudlin "tears of a clown" type docs and, if we are lucky, the repeat of the odd Christmas show.
I thought this was an excellent retelling of the often told story of their early career. The characters that played M & W were exceptionally well cast and observed especially the last two older ones. Vic Reeves and Victoria Wood were both surprisingly good and underplaying their parts.
The only thing missing was Wise's back story but, apart from that, it is a truly great piece of original Christmas TV
