Shooting Stars(1993)

Shooting Stars is a British comedy panel show created and hosted by Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer. The series aired on BBC Two from 1995 to 1997, returned for additional runs on BBC Choice and BBC Two through 2011. Rather than follow strict rules, the show embraces anarchic, surreal humour and slapstick comedy—Reeves and Mortimer frequently ignore established conventions or invent new ones on the fly. The format pairs the traditional panel game structure with the duo's unpredictable comedic sensibility, creating a programme that prioritizes laughs over logic. Shooting Stars became a cult favourite for its willingness to abandon format conventions entirely, letting the hosts' chemistry and absurdist wit drive each episode.
