Shooting Stars

I fucking love it. I barely ever watch telly, so I only caught half an episode of the new series, but then went on to watch a couple of repeats on Challenge, and it's brilliant - Reeves & Mortimer can be a bit too nineties, a bit too of-their-time sometimes, but fuck it, Shooting Stars is still incredible. Watching The Shining and Shooting Stars the other night was superb, it was like weekends with my Dad when I was eight.

I'd just started downloading some of the old series when a friend told me that a new series was showing in the UK.

I loved Shooting Stars and am watching second series now. I think it's 1997 and then the third series is 1999. Their stuff then was wonderfully random at times and I really love 'em.

As it went on though Shooting Stars did suffer a couple of problems just down to the repetitive nature of a quiz show.

Still, I wish Bob Mortimer was a little more of a straight man sometimes.

Shooting Stars is brilliant. It's just so insanely different from anything else. You know you can just sit down and watch it, and for half an hour just enjoy it for what it is - a weird showbiz bubble of craziness.

Name a condiment?

*buzz* Pepper?

No, the answer is Europe.

Speaking of which, I think I missed the one on Thursday there. Better get on the old iPlayer...

Heather McCartney, Heather McCartney, Heather McCartney's plastic leg.

Barack Obama, Barack Obama, Barack Obama's morning egg.

That was genius.

Shooting Stars is brilliant....sometimes it is really hit and miss, but when it is good it is hilarious.
