I also spotted another Smell Of gag. I remember Vic balancing three carrots on top of each other in an old episode.

Big Night Out thing, wasn't it? Didn't he do it as a Stott? *overpicky* ^^;

I can't remember seeing it on Big Night Out.

I'm getting a mental image of Les doing it actually.
I've probably invented that in my head though.

Oh oh, I think I know. Wasn't it one of the Tinker's Rucksack people who did it? I'm pretty sure it was on BNO somehow.

....it doesn't really matter, of course, but I want to get this nailed now for some reason. Eh?

I only realised last week that Angelos is on Katy Brand every week.

Is he in his Shooting Stars character?
I wonder where he sprang from.

Stott Brothers one was called Davey, they had high pitched voices and a silent uncle, they were scared might swear.

Nope, just playing lots of different characters. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renton_Skinner
Apparently he writes some of the show too.

Thanks zooo.
He's been in loads of stuff! I bet in the near future he ends up with his own show. You could see hints of his range when he did his impressions and his dance on SS.

ooh, hope so! I likes him.

He's also in the new Armstrong and Miller series trailer. He says about there being a big hole in front of the businessman. Don't know if he's been in previous episodes.

He was one of the performers in 'The Works' as well.

I bought a book for fifty pence off him.*

I have only just discovered this thread. Shooting Stars is my favourite of all Vic and Bob's shows, as much as I like The Smell Of and Bang Bang, Shooting Stars has always been their top show for me.

I have got to say that I was disappointed with the new series, Series 1-5 were classics and back then the unfunniness of the dove jokes was entertaining and some of the sketches in the clips round were some of the funniest Vic and Bob have ever done and I loved Donald Cox in Series 5. But I just found what I saw of Series 6 and 7 to be quite stale and I didn't like Jack Dee much as a team captain - I really miss both Will Self and Johnny Vegas.

I wonder why Vic and Bob couldn't do something new for the BBC? It has always disappointed me that they only did 2 series of The Smell of Reeves and Mortimer and just 1 series of Bang Bang It's Reeves and Mortimer.

I think they've said several times they'd like to do something new, but the BBC want them to keep making Shooting Stars.

(They did get to make Catterick though.)
