The presenters also regularly argued with one another and engaged in slapstick fighting, which would often involve silly props like a giant cheese grater. Each Shooting Stars team has three members, one of which is the team captain. Normally the guest on Team A sitting nearest to Vic is an attractive female - this is so that Vic has a target for his seedy thigh-rubbing. During the inital three series, Shooting Stars formed a number of memorable in-jokes.
These included Reeves and Mortimer hitting each other with frying pans, Mark Lamarr being labelled a conman, Ulrika taking ages to choose categories for questions, Vic's bad jokes before the Dove From Above round, and the club style song in the impressions round.
Each episode usually saw five rounds played, and then at the end of the show, the winning team captain would choose a member of their team to take part in a bizarre challenge to win some extra cash. The challenges varied from throwing increasingly large objects, to climbing down a flight of stairs face down while collecting marshmallows.
Is Paul Daniels ' head is wider than it is long? True and Bill Cosby was the first ever black man? False, according to Vic and Bob it was Sidney Poitier. The clip isn't from a real TV show however, but actually a brief sketch or parody starring the show's regular members.
The other contestants had to buzz in and guess who the impression was of. This round would always include Vic singing a song in the style of a 'club singer'. Vic would sing in a strange way with George providing a drum beat, as the panel tried to decipher what Vic was singing about. This dove had a series of categories on it.
The panellist selected a category and were then given a question related to the subject. One of the categories in the round had a special prize hidden behind and if selected Vic would award them and say, 'Eranu!
This was a remote controlled vehicle which fired questions at Bob from it's exhaust pipe or some might say, it's anus. George Dawes would then judge the dance, but would never give any points. The drummer does this by screaming a word e. I'm turning the car around and we're going back to Dorset!
Mark Lamarr lost it and could be seen cracking up behind George Dawes. Bob Mortimer admitted in an interview that the reason why he often made fun of Ulrika Johnson on the show was because he fancied her. Vic Reeves's trousers falling down when he dances with Kimberly Wyatt in the 2nd show of Series 7 which his bare bottom and genitals was exposed was unscripted and purely accidental and you can tell from the reactions of Bob Mortimer, Ulrika Johnson, Jack Dee and the guest panelists.
George Dawes was given his own intro theme song "He's a baby! The words to the song are: He's a baby! He's a baby! He's a baby. In one show, George Dawes was dressed up as Elton John. Vic Reeves could be seen in the background losing it when Marjorie shouts "Screw You!
In the 1st show of Series 2, Vic Reeves asks Samantha Beckinsale if it was true or not if actress Sigourney Weaver lived in a treehouse for a while dressed as an elf. Sigourney Weaver later starred in Avatar which took place on the jungle planet Pandora. The title of the show is a pun on the fact that much of the humor is at the expense of the guest stars. In Series 1, clips from films and TV shows were used in the clip rounds.
Bob, the two teams, George and the audience not laughing at Vic's bad dove jokes were in the script. At the end of Lamarr left Radio 2, claiming the station had lost interest in non-mainstream music. Mark Lamarr was arrested on September 1, , and was charged with assault and false imprisonment. He was due to appear in court on October 1, , but last night the CPS dropped his case.
