Shooting Stars

I give it 10 stars based on when I watched it roughly between 1993 and 1996. It was surreal, silly, very different yet brilliant fun. I loved this.

I find SHOOTING STARS to be very very silly , and yet when it`s broadcast I somehow find myself settling down to watch it with a smile on my face even though I`m ashamed to admit it .

SHOOTING STARS is a game show with Vic and Bob the quiz masters and Mark Lamarr ( Later Will Self ) and Ulrika Johnson as team captains . But it`s not like a normal quiz show , this one is absolutely surreal with humour you`ll either love or hate . I fall into both camps: I hate it in public but love it in private .

A recent episode featured one of the most bitchy comments I`ve ever heard . On helping out guest Debbie Mcgee slide down a rope ( Don`t ask ) Vic shouted up to Bob " You can touch her breasts " . Quick as a flash Ulrika shouted " You`d have to find them first ! "

I`ll say no more

Now in it's tenth year, shooting stars is still one of the funniest shows on tv. Gone is the dove from above, replaced by a scary looking fox who asks in a gruff voice for some gin. Will Self, as a team captain, is introduced with pantomine style "evil" music. The "clips" round includes hilarious clips such as "the Sunderland film society presents the Incredible Hulk" and "nigella bites". Questions include "Madonna's music is getting worse isn't it?" and "name a dog". Everything that happens on it is funny, and I just hope that they're showing it in America. Not that they'd understand it...

Shooting Stars i think is a fantastic and a funny programme quiz show to watch. Vic, Bob and George make me laugh especially George when he is acting like a baby when he has his baby clothes costume on. He's a baby, He's a baby. And when he bangs his drums. I think he is fantastic. I give the show 10 out of 10.

The popularity of Shooting Stars has always been a mystery to me. The so-called humor is definitely surreal but to say that it lacks the intelligence of Monty Python, Spike Milligan, or even Morecambe and Wise is to put it mildly. It is Surreal but not funny, Isuppose the same could be said for Salvador Dali so I'll have to qualify it further, it is also completely lacking in any evidence of talent or intelligent endeavor. Most grownups would soon tire of the antics of a children's' clown, if you're not one of these people then you may be one of the apparently many folks who enjoy watching Shooting Stars from beginning to end.
