Have we really not had a thread about Reeves and Mortimer?

Staggering I know, but the search function brings up nothing particularly relevant, just some people moaning that S4 of Shooting Stars isn't as good as before. I wanted to read something interesting about them, but even Google didn't really have anything to say about them (not that I could find in my short search). I've been having something of an R&M overload the last week or so, watching the first series of The Smell Of and making my way through the Shooting Stars (starting the 3rd series tonight).

I love all art that I can't really figure out how it's done, like the creative process that they have to go down is completely alien eg a lot of electronic music, surrealist painting etc. An awful lot of the sketches on R&M are like that, coming from that much more of an odd place. The very first song from S1 of TSO has so many amazing little surreal drawings and oddness that my brain keeps tripping over itself to keep up, like when you run too fast and feel like you might fall over but don't. Like an elaborate heating system apparently in Kent. WTF? And so much of The Smell Of is like that.

Uncle Peter, WTF?

Even stuff we take for granted, like Dove from Above . . . .how the fuck do you arrive at Dove from Above?

I'll leave it to folks more knowledgeable than I to discuss the ups and downs of their career - I haven't seen Bob Mortimer for ages, what's he at these days?

So anyway, S/D, POO, etc. And say something interesting about them. Or just quote them mercilessly, whatever.
