Shooting Stars

First Aired in 1993

This bizarre comedy quiz hosted by Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer has captured the surreal side of British viewers since its first appearance during At Home with Vic and Bob in 1993. Its first series was commissioned in 1995, and it ran until 1997, when team captain Mark Lamarr quit the show.
So what's the idea of the show? Well, basically, Vic and Bob introduce several tongue-in-cheek rounds in which two teams consisting of team captains and four celebrity guests have to answer completely off-the-wall questions such as "are merry-go-round horses stuffed with real horse" and "Do Swedish cars run on Red Wine". Also, bald-headed George Dawes announces the scores at the end of each round.
Warning! This show is only for those who think their brains can stand the intense madness and wacky events incorporated into it! Witty jokes and plain fun make a great show that is well worth watching. Ulrika Jonsson has been an integral part of the show and has remained there since the beginning and has been consistent and fun as team B captain.Johnny Vegas then joined the crew and the show suddnely was transformed into a comedy quiz that will remain in everyones memory forever more.

Welcome, whoever you are...
