10 Cancelled TV Shows That Totally Deserve A Ripper Street Resurrection
8. Shooting Stars
Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer created Shooting Stars back in 1993 and it's lasted for a total of eight series. The show was famous for its surreal comedy and slapstick humour. With completely nonsensical rounds like the Dove From Above and absurd sketches theres never been anything like it in the panel show realm before. The show wasnt above poking fun at their celebrity guests either. Whether they were subjected to a barrage of jokes and outrageous requests there was always plenty of fun to be had. Even the team that won the quiz wasnt safe, as the prize was a final bonus round. Examples have included being slapped in the face with bacon or having an old mans beard rubbed on your face. When it comes down to it though, the show was all about having a good laugh. Panel shows are notoriously cheap to make so a reviving of the Shooting Stars shouldnt pose too much of a risk for a company like Amazon or Netflix. The low investment needed means that even if it didnt prove successful they wouldnt lose out significantly. Besides which we are certain there are plenty of people who would be happy to see Vic and Bob back on our screens.
