Who is he?

Writer, musician, actor, painter, novelist, godfather of surreal comedy - is there anything that renaissance man Vic Reeves HASN'T tried, besides - oh, I don't know, blowing up the moon? Oh wait, scratch that - he's willing to give it a go. "Science is my God, and my ultimate goal in Brainiac is to destroy the moon with dynamite," Reeves says. Don't count the man out.

Only someone with a CV as colourful as Vic's (besides "star of stage and screen," the man can rightly claim time spent as a cabbage farmer, civil servant, pig farmer, and factory inspector!) could possible boast the necessary skills, determination and pure nerve required to captain the good ship Brainiac into its explosive new series.

Vic also moonlighted as a pop god, providing the vocals for a number of top ten hits during the 90s, both as a solo artist with his hit 'Born Free,' as well as with the able assistance of bands like The Wonderstuff and EMF.
With the arrival of the fifth series of Brainiac, the show has officially pushed the needle into the red, with more explosions, more laughs, and more science. And at the end of the day, there's really only one man diverse enough to take on the role of ringleader for the Brainiac anarchy circus… and that man is Mr. Vic Reeves. Watch out, moon.
