Shooting Stars back for fresh run

[edesignuk]

Surreal comedy quiz show Shooting Stars will return for a full series on BBC Two this autumn.

The BBC confirmed that the full original line-up will return with Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer hosting and Ulrika Jonsson as team captain.

Matt Lucas returns as "big baby" scorekeeper George Dawes and Jack Dee joins the team as the second captain.

The programme launched in 1993 and continued for five series. A one-off Christmas special was made in 2008.

Excellent news, really loved the Xmas (?) special that they did, haven't watched much in the way of TV of late, I will definitely be watching this.
Glad that they have kept most of the original cast.
I had a feeling, or hoped rather, that the Xmas special was testing the waters for a new series.

Oh f**k yea! Watched this show religiously whilst growing up, might explain a lot come to think of it
I'm chuffed.

Good news i always guessed they would be reappearing after that Xmas special. The shows too funny to stay off tv for too long.

Can't wait. Plenty of good memories of watching this when I was younger. I think Jack Dee will be an excellent team captain. The Christmas special was good but it will be better when they have a full season of it.

Eranu indeed!

God I loved that show, I watched it as I was growing up along with Harry Enfield and Chums and The Fast Show, that was the golden age of comedy for me.
