YESSSSSSSS!

I caught this by accident, and the re-cap before it.

I can't believe it, absolutely no one i speak to knows what it is at all. Half of 'em don't even know buzzc--ks... pfft!

It was absolutely brilliant, it hasn't changed a bit!

I prefer the pigeon to this jet 1000 though...

Just saw it and it was brilliant.

I was too young to properly appreciate the original run but I did remember it as being quite good when I caught it.

I thought it was complete and utter shite... shame they had the documentary before to remind me how good it used to be.

It was interesting to see how Vic Reeves has slowly turned into the twin of Eric Morecambe.  And how Ulrika Jonsson has aged twice as fast as anyone else in the world, ever.

I was thinking the same thing about the Eric Morecambe resemblance.

I'm too young to remember Vic Reeves without the glasses though so the shock came more from seeing him going without.

I had a feeling this would come.

Shooting stars was a British panel game.

they were always just a surreal morecambe and wise anyway.... it just seems less surreal now its so copied.

The docu was good and the show made me laugh.  things are never the same though

Yeah, I saw it - thought it was pretty good.  Used to love it when it was first on.

Oh yes.  She looks like a completely different person now.  And it sure as hell ain't botox.

I just watched it on Iplayer. I didn't see a lot of the shows as I seemed to be gigging but I used to like watching it.

It was alright, not as good as the old ones. Still, i think most people will agree that they would do Kate Garraway :lol:
