Vic Reeves (Jim Moir)

Comedian and artist Vic Reeves, under his real name chooses his Tracks of My Years.

Leeds-born comedian, writer, artist and national treasure Vic Reeves - under his real name Jim Moir - chooses his Tracks of My Years this week.

Vic and comedy partner Bob Mortimer made their TV debut on a show hosted by Jonathan Ross in 1989, before landing a slot on Channel 4 the following year with their series 'Big Night Out'.

Their surreal brand of comedy proved a hit and the pair went on to star in a vast number of shows together, including 'Shooting Stars', 'The Smell Of Reeves and Mortimer' and 'Randall & Hopkirk (Deceased)'.

Away from Bob, Vic has branched out into various other fields, earning a number one single with the song 'Dizzy', presenting historical series 'Vic Reeves Examines' and presenting 'Brainiac'.

Fans are already aware that Vic is a keen bird watcher and lover of all things ornithological, and combined with his love of art resulted in his book β€˜Birds’, featuring his paintings of a hundred British birds. Vic’s art work is also featured in his TV shows and he exhibits regularly around the world.
