Miles Hunt of The Wonder Stuff recalls a bonkers camping trip with Reeves and Mortimer and why, really, he no longer owns the songs that made him…
Vic Reeves & Bob Mortimer in a one-off pilot (Bunch of Five C4 1992) in which two friends visit a meat festival taking place in an open field but are chased by aliens who want the specialty meat they bought off Phil Oakey (the Human League singer in person) to feed their queen. C4 liked it but wanted a 3rd series of "Big Night Out" before commissioning a Weekenders series. The duo refused the offer and moved to the BBC (mad move C4!). Many aficionados of the duo consider this their finest work.

Mortimer! | James Mortimer | We are pleased to present our first solo show for the young English painter James Mortimer. James’s fey boys inhabit a world of uncomplicated decadence, a surreal Renaissance landscape where man and beast exist together on increasingly equal terms. Inhibitions go out the window; each is a slave to their own nature. The ensuing relationships provide fertile ground for myriad little dramas as the companions look to get along. Animals become mischievous, even vicious at times. Their masters try to rise above it, retaining an almost Imperial sense of composure, but in the process find themselves somehow detached, lost even, gazing wistfully into the opium haze of their peculiar adopted land. Whilst seemingly simple, there is wealth of drama playing out behind the scenes. Visual puns and innuendoes pepper his paintings like Freudian slips of the brush. Every fruit and every plant is pregnant with suggestion. Exoticism and the thrill of travel also permeate every scene, like Victorian Boy’s Own adventures that have turned slightly spicy and risqué. And underneath it all, there is a simmering sexuality. These characters are vain, vice-loving and beautiful; they are what the gaze what meant for. At 25 years of age, James is a remarkable talent. His works are instantly recognisable, thanks to their distinctive style and humour, their playful combination of art historical references, and the unusual light that he gives them. As an artist, James is self-taught. Collections include The Club at the Ivy, London; The Spurstowe Arms & The Windsor Castle, Hackney; and private collections in the UK, China, Singapore, and the USA | James Freeman Gallery
