Shooting Stars may have been cancelled, but Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer are convinced there's still humour to be wrung from the surreal panel show format. Their contribution to Channel 4's Funny Fortnight is this characteristically fantastical quiz show in which Eddie Izzard and other star guests face unexpected questions as they compete for prizes. Impersonations and new sketches are part of the mix in a comedy half hour highly likely to garner a new fan base for these veteran kings of comedy.
Vicki Power, The Telegraph, 22nd August 2012Out of Channel 4's Funny Fortnight we're most excited to see Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer ripping up the panel show rulebook once again for Lucky Sexy Winners, which hopefully will be a cool and capable successor to their much-missed BBC programme Shooting Stars. With original sketches, new characters and a dash of sheer insanity, their clowning around is not to be missed.
