Advantages: Irreverent, different and entertaining

Disadvantages: Sometimes a bit weird

Shooting Stars is back! After a long break Shooting Stars returns to our screens on a Wdnesday night (BBC2 at 10pm). I didn't see the original show but I realised I knew loads of the catchphrases without realising! Shooting Stars is a parody of game shows and includes ridiculous questions, silly innuendo, hilarious songs, and downright strangeness. Shooting Stars was where Matt Lucas kicked off his career so it's nice to see him back on the show as the scoremaster Georgie Dawes (He's a baby! He's a baby!).

Reeves and Mortimer have their own special brand of comedy and they basically do whatever makes them laugh. This means that some bits really hit the mark and some bits leave you puzzled. But everybody responds to it differently.

If you watch it once and think it's a bit weird, watch again! The more you watch it, the more you understand the format and the more enjoyable it becomes. Give it a try!

Summary: Perhaps not for everyone, but certainly worth trying!
