The Ministry of Curious Stuff (CBBC 2012, Vic Reeves) 

Vic Reeves invites CBBC viewers to join him in the Ministry of Curious Stuff, a fantastical depository of information staffed by Vic and his team of inquisitive fact-finders, including his dim-witted assistant, Captain Length-Width – a man who takes stupidity to impressive new levels.

As the ringmaster of this magical, weird and unpredictable world, Vic’s mission is to provide answers to questions posed by CBBC viewers – no matter how weird or wonderful those questions may be.

Each investigation is the launch pad for sketches, songs, animations and Vic’s unique flights of fancy, with plenty of amazing facts uncovered along the way.
