Infobox instructions (only shown in preview)

The Smell of Reeves and Mortimer is a BBC TV sketch show written by and starring double act Vic & Bob (Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer). Its first series appeared in 1993 following the duo's move to the BBC after parting company with Channel 4. The show developed and expanded upon the absurd, anarchic comedy that the pair had first explored on Channel 4's Vic Reeves Big Night Out.

The major development from the previous series was that Mortimer now hosted the show alongside Reeves. As well as Mortimer getting his name in the title, he and Reeves sat together behind the large prop-strewn desk.

With virtually all of the Vic Reeves Big Night Out characters consigned to the past (only Greg Mitchell and the Stotts survived, with the Stotts appearing in the second series), a whole range of new characters appeared. The show also featured pre-recorded sketches and a lavish studio set laden with columns and pillars, and in the centre the enormous letters R&M, from which the duo emerged at the start of each show.

The show would usually close with the song "Let's Have A Little Bit More," which saw the pair enthusing about various smells, from "Pol Pot's Dungarees" to "Lulu's Hairdos."
