Shooting Stars Page 8

She looked like she was on her way to a Halloween party.

I liked the new episode but I don't think it would work as a new series. Every celeb is too self aware now, unlike when it had its original run.

The end game with the opera singer was properly funny, mind.

Ulrika's in her fifties. Of course she wears a lot of make-up. Also the guilt of destroying John Lesley's life with unproved accusations must surely take it's toll on her face.

I loved seeing it back on the screens. Favourite part "What car has sold 25000 units? Brilliant.

A show where nothing matters. :) A top favourite of mine... although Ulrika's stylist needs a slap.

I thought she was forty-something? I'm sure they said that on BB.

Not bad at all as an episode, didn't Ulrika go completely bonkers and Vic start doing shit TV since the last series.

And what has Bob Mortimer been upto?

Surprised they couldn't get Johnny Vegas.

I think Mortimer is quite involved with the stuff his and Vics production company, Pett Productions, put out. I think.

It wasn't until this moment that I realised Vegas was actually missing!

I thought there was some hilarious stuff in the 'doc' preceding the new episode, but the new episode itself was slightly flat.

I can't believe Bob Mortimer is responsible for that. :O

Most of it. And without checking, I have a feeling he may be a producer as well. I'm under the impression that it's made by a production company he owns too.

Yes it is.

Oh dear.
I wish I didn't know all this :(

That Vic Reeves is funny, isn't he?

So is Bob!

Look, their humour just doesn't work if they let other people perform it, that's all.
They should only write for themselves.
