Boy, are we gonna have a show tonight!
So are you two friends, or what?

- Now, are you both, like, ready? - I've worked hard on this.
You're gonna do a fun song, aren't you?

... tickles you in your nether bits.
- Yeah. - (AUDIENCE LAUGHS)
- Do you want to win? - Yes, I do.
I think he's got enough accolades.

But listen. We had to decide who goes first.
And Vic, you look raring to go.

AUDIENCE: Johnny! Johnny! Johnny!
Where did you get that picture from?
Sat in your garden, didn't I, and...
With a long lens and just waited for ages.
You don't feed the birds very often, do you?
You too had a moment. There was a moment. You two had a moment.
Admit it, cos you were surprised, and I had moves. And I was...
I was busting stuff out, and you were going, "Oh, God, I just...
I always thought of him as a sex pest."
- Er, is it weird that I liked it? - (AUDIENCE LAUGHS)
I lost a little bit in the middle there.
Oh, shut up. You did a good job.
Professor Green, what is your verdict?
- I feel it was... - Bearing in mind, bearing in mind, Professor,
- I put moves in there, and I never dance. - I don't dance either.
I think that takes a lot of courage what you just did. I thought it was...
Do you know what?
... by far the best performance that we've had this evening.
Well, listen, Johnny. You can go over to the bar now
because we have pre-ordered you your favourite drink...
Ten Guinnesses. Get in!
- Oh, oh! Look at that! - Go on!
- So Vic, you've seen Johnny... - Yeah.
- ... do his thing. - Yes.
What are you gonna come back with?
Something more energetic, something more lively,
something with a lot more youth,
and power!
- So tell us what the song is? - Daft Punk.
- AUDIENCE: Woo! - OK.
Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger!
So prepare yourselves, it's Vic Reeves!
Thank you!

(AUDIENCE SCREAMS)
You are really feeling yourself on that one!
- That must have felt really good? - You see the helmet I made?
- Yeah. - I made it out of titanium,
sheet steel and lead.
I was sitting over there with Johnny and...
- Tell him what you were saying to me, Johnny. - We had an idea
- that maybe you didn't know all the lyrics there. - No.
- (AUDIENCE BOOS) - Do you know, the thing is...
- I'm not... - Professor Green,
- who do you think is in the lead? - It's very, very difficult at the moment.
I think we're gonna have to see the second song to decide.
- I think they've got a favourite already. - AUDIENCE: Vic! Vic! Vic!
Well, it's all still to play,
so make sure you stick around as these two
pull out all the stops, and things get...
weirder in round two of tonight's
Lip Sync Battle!
Welcome back to Lip Sync Battle UK!
So, so far we've seen Vic Reeves
go harder, better, faster, stronger, stranger!
And Johnny Vegas not being able to feel his face.
- Probably not the first time, eh, John? - Put your hands on it, it's ready.
It is now time for round two.
And our stars are about to up their game,
and do whatever it takes to get their hands
- on our glorious Lip Sync Battle Championship belt. - (AUDIENCE CHEERS)
- Are you ready for that? - (AUDIENCE CHEERS)
Vic Reeves is hitting the stage first.
And here's how he prepared for tonight's battle.
Mee, mee, mee, mee, mee! Who's...
that looking through the window? I've been practising a lot.
For instance, if I go into the butcher's, I like to practise my lip sync in there.
Say...
_
And I never get what I want. I'm very, very confident.
My confidence is absolute!
I've known Johnny for a long, long time. It goes back a long, long way.
It's not good stuff. This is a grudge match.
Johnny, do you know what you are?! A dickhead. You're going down.
And then I'm gonna go down on you!
- You've got a lot of time to talk to cameras, haven't you? - (CHUCKLES)
- I hope you've rehearsed. - (MIMICS JOHNNY) Hello, I'm Johnny Vegas and I can't sing!
(WHINES)
I came home from work and found him in my house
fingering my lady. The lady in the magazine.
He was flicking through that with his dirty fingers.
Ooh!
I've gotta wipe the floor with him. If I can find a couple of brooms.
Today, it would be the pinnacle of my career.
The high point of everything. If I win this, I'm gonna hold my head up high
and stride up and down my high street and watch the people lip syncing back at me.
Shouting from the other side of the street...
(DEEP VOICE) He knows he's got it coming for him!
(DEEP VOICE) I'm gonna get him, man!
Where do I go now?
(CHUCKLES)
I haven't stopped. I'm ready for this.
- Try and stop me, Johnny Vegas. - (AUDIENCE CHEERING)

OK. Vic...
- ... what the bloody hell was going on? - (AUDIENCE LAUGHS)
It's a sad song! Like, his wife and his kids have packed up and left him.
- You thought you'd go for... - (MIMICS DEKKER) Shirt them a-tear, trouser dem a gone!
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
So this is the message? That's the message of the performance?
Yeah. Yeah. It's a sad song.
It's down and out. That's what it's all about.
- (AUDIENCE LAUGHS AT VEGAS LAUGHING) - Johnny?
- It was a travesty! - (AUDIENCE LAUGHS)
- Wait! How dare you! - Travesty of lip s...
(AUDIENCE LAUGHS)
- Professor Green? It was good! It was...
- ... bloody good! - You did own it.
- It was. It was. It was... - 'Ey, 'ey, you two, shut up! I'm talking to Mel.
- I mean, it was a bit weird, but it was fitting. - Why was it weird?!
- Just you know, a bit weird. - What was weird about it?
You.
- The skip was made of plastic! - Before we see Johnny...
- Oh, be quiet, both of you! - (AUDIENCE LAUGHS)
- All right, Scary Spice! - (AUDIENCE CHEERS)
So before we see if Johnny can smash it
let's check out how he got ready for tonight's lip sync battle.
There's a sexiness within me that I've never been able to tap into,
cos I've got that voice
you know, like somebody dragging denim against sandpaper.
But when I can put someone else's voice into my head
and through my lips...
Fucking gorgeous!
Oh, I know Vic pretty well.
Have you got your teeth in?
Why?... You really wanna do this now in front of the cameras?
I keep watching him and I'm just waiting for him to be funny again.
It's a great shame really, isn't it? When someone you held up there...
you basically, erm, wouldn't wipe your arse on them.
It's a shame it has to end like this, innit?
You know, I've spent more time on this than I did writing my wedding vows.
Which is pretty disgraceful.
The think is, Vic, you know what it is? You're a peacock.
All right? You're a strutter. And what I'm bringing to this is...
it's beyond the, 'Hey! A-ba-ba-ba!'
It's soul, motherfucker! Soul.

- AUDIENCE: Johnny! Johnny! Johnny! - Look at that. Listen to that.
Was that not uplifting?
What actually is in that little bag?
- It's erm, Vic's tears. - (AUDIENCE LAUGHS)
'Vic's tears once I've kicked his arse.'
I've often wondered if I died and went to heaven,
what it would look like, and I think I've found out.
- (AUDIENCE LAUGHS) - And I'm quite happy going to hell.
Luckily, it's up to you lot to decide.
Professor Green, the belt, please!
Oh!
Is the winner Johnny Vegas?
- Or is the winner... - I can't beat that!
Is the winner Vic Reeves?
Ooh, it's close. It's close.
The winner of the lip sync battle...
... is...
Johnny Vegas!
AUDIENCE: Johnny! Johnny! Johnny!
- Ooh! Wa-hey! - Congratulations!
So I know you lost, but did you have fun?
Massive amounts of fun.
(MIMICS DEKKER) Shirt them a-tear up, trousers dem gone.
- But I had a lot of fun. - (AUDIENCE LAUGHS AND CHEERS)
Make sure you join us for our next lip sync battle!
From me and Professor Green,
and Vic and Johnny, good night!
