Vic Reeves?


Why is Jim listed as Vic Reeves as if he is real? (on the main details page)
Vic is just a character played by Jim Moir.
So it should be Jim Moir...then the chacters he played including Vic Reeves.
I mean Bob is not listed as The Man With A Stick.

Yes and no.

Although occasionally creditted as Jim Moir, he first apperred on TV and thus into out collective pop culture psyche as Vic Reeves; he'd used a different name each week on the live Big Night Out in the East End pub and his combiantion of Victor Mature and Jim Reeves apparently just stuck).

Same could be said for fellow Northern comedian Johnny Vegas who in his early days was creditted under his real name of Michael Pennington.

Why is David Walliams not credited as David Williams? His autobiography is by Vic Reeves, not Jim Moir. :)
