Vic Reeves admits to spending far too many weeks as a young boy in bible study, in order to get access to the local church youth club – where the object of his affections was. Becoming religious didn't really sit well with Vic, and after he was dumped for being a rubbish kisser, he turned his back on God. He reveals that if he hadn't gone down the comedy route he could now be mucking out animals and helping Pandas to mate. Part two is not for the squeamish as it features pictures, and even a calendar, of dog shit, photographed by Vic Reeves.
