Shooting Stars commissioned for Series 8
Shooting Stars, the comedy panel game from surrealist comedians Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer, is to return to BBC Two for an 8th series, the British Comedy Guide can confirm.
Series 8 of the cult-hit programme is likely to broadcast in a summer slot on the channel, and it is believed that team captains Jack Dee and Ulrika Jonsson will also return to the anarchic show.
The series returned to screens in 2009 after a seven-year absence, following a successful 15th anniversary Christmas edition, broadcast on 30th December 2008. Series 7 was broadcast between July and August 2010, and attracted viewing figures around the 1.5million mark - an entirely respectable but not overwhelming number.
