Vic Reeves has been given his own show on commercial station Virgin Radio.
Impressed with his performance standing in whilst regular DJ Suggs took a break, bosses were keen to give Vic his own programme. Dubbed Vic Reeves Big Night In, the show will run from September 21 every Wednesday and Thursday from 19:00 to 22:00.
Waveguide.co.uk quote the station's programme director Peter Jackson as saying: "I am amazed that Vic has not had his own radio show before, and after hearing him standing in for Suggs, we had to find him a slot.
"Our listeners grew up with Vic and his humour is perfect for the station."
Meanwhile, Reeves commented: "I love Virgin Radio already, it plays my favourite music, and I will be like an ape in a confectioners.
"I have free reign on my show and I intend to abuse it by talking to parishioners from all over the UK in dulcet tones with quizzes and all manner of nonsense whilst playing the finest pop in Christendom."
