Vic Reeves' The Ministry Of Curious Stuff begins tonight on CBBC

Mysteries will be solved and questions answered when viewers enter Vic Reeves’ Ministry Of Curious Stuff – the brand new CBBC comedy sketch show which will air on Mondays at 5.45pm, starting tonight. Written by Vic Reeves and Steve Burge (Shooting Stars), the programme is set in The Ministry of Curious Stuff – a fantastical depository of information, and occasional misinformation, run by Vic and his inquisitive and extraordinary team of researchers, including the brilliant Gemma Arrowsmith and Tom Golding.Each episode sees the team answering three questions posed by CBBC viewers, launching a fact-finding mission full of sketches, songs, animations and Vic’s unique flights of fancy. Will dinosaurs ever come back? Can you dance in space? Can you marry a house? Only Vic and his team have the answers…Vic is joined by his able team of researchers - Captain Lengthwidth (Dan Renton Skinner – Angelos from Shooting Stars), Mr Frazernagle (Jack Carroll), Mr Lovett (Tyger Drew-Honey – Jake from Outnumbered), Miss Tea Party (Beth Rylance) and Miss Wannamaker (Rhyanna Alexander Davis) – to answer viewers’ questions and to prove that sometimes the voyage of discovery is just as fascinating as the final answer.Jamie Rea, executive producer for CBBC, said: “Vic is one of Britain’s most admired and influential comedians, renowned for his surreal sense of humour and comic imagination, and we’ve been really fortunate that he has been so involved in the writing and development of the series.
