Always hated Danny Baker. I've never seen anyone so involved with British comedy back in the day who just didn't get how comedy works. I think his problem was he saw comedy as a competition where he HAD to win and his attempts at one upping a genuinely talented comic were just cringe worthy which is evident at around 21:22 where he completely sucks the funny out of the room instead of playing along. How that man made a living I'll never know
Yep. I hate that type of person. You might not agree, but I put Phil Jupitus and Bill Bailey in that same category. They spoilt QI when they were on for the same reason. They thought it was all about them.
@@gorber1971 I agree with this, particularly with Jupitus. Can't say it made me dislike him as he seems nice enough but some people just can't function when the environment isn't just about them.
@@gorber1971 each to their own i guess, i think Life of brian & fawlty towers are awesome cult classics, i know some people that just dont get it. I think Phil jupiters is a very loud unfunny turd. I think phil bailey is funny & rsther surreal with his spur of the moment comments. Danny baker when he was on Radio London I think, was very amusing, had many music related anecdotes & was very interesting regarding his life long musical knowledge AND he has saved me nearly a thousand pounds in licence fee too. Danny bakers book " going to sea in a sieve" if you love music is 1 of the funniest things I've read. Like i say, each to there own i guess
Fascinating look in! But why is no-one talking about Will Self's admittance that participation in the show severely worsened his mental health? From 29:30
It is so mad, to see ulrika at 14:17 sandwiched between convicted peedo Freddy Talbott and also, Louise Wiener, from the Britpop band called Sleeper. You really could not, make it up. Well done, Vic and Bobbington, for this post-modern laff that you have created in me!!
I remember being behind Bob Mortimer going through the tills at Food Giant in Hill Street Center once. All the time, I was wondering whether it was him or not, and then I manged to catch a glimpse of his card when he paid, and it said Robert Mortimer. I haven't seen many famous people in my life, so it sticks in my mind.
@@gorber1971 well Andrew stuck in the Hills street center it will be hard, maybe try Martin road, Boro fish bar? Or the Europa? 😀 joking, good story! I am local, not taking this Pss, just messing all the best!
Does everyone under 25 go to university.?.Big Night Out started out pretty niche and the 'people that attended university' took to it. Hence the university tour. It was pretty surreal and kinda cerebral. Perfect stoner stuff as well.
@@adriandenton6637 Yes. Stoners and indeed others also liked their stuff. The fact that they appealed to students and in that sense had a student fan base, off the back of which I also guess a university tour was organised, was not an exclusive appeal.
I’ve always disliked Will Self since learning long ago of his love for Margaret Thatcher (he actually toured with her in the 90’s), however, after hearing of his suffering after working with these “comedians” I begin to feel sorry for him.
Jim and Bob, thank you for all the belly laughs. Shooting Stars was comedy gold.
Vic and Bob are actually comedy geniuses
Shooting Stars taught me that Sidney Poitier was the world's first black man.
I learned that William Shatners real name was bill shits 😂
You just wouldn't let it lie, would you!
I learnt that Jeremy Irons
I learnt that Lynn Faulds Wood.
@@jamescropley1607 I learnt that James may?
I loved Vic and Bob. They're just the best. Always had a crush on Bob too! I recommend their series Catterick. It's hilarious.
catterick is for me their absolute peak, what a great series
Saw them in Manchester when I was a student, many many moons ago.
The 'Club Singer' was a highlight every week.
You can absolutely see how this show inspired many comedy panel shows of the modern era, especially cats does countdown
they stole from them the comedy panel show idea and the layout.
It was an inspiration for Would I Lie To You
I have loved them since they started and still do decades later
The bit where the camera zoomed in on Michael Winners ice-cream hair made me double over and laugh so hard it was silent laughing with tears.
Thank you for all the laughs, Vic & Bob ......The best duo !
I loved Vic's jet black night club singer hair and retro clothes, pure class 😬
Bob is the best just looking at his little face cracks me up. Jst read his autobiography it's brill
Some people are just funny..and don't need anything else.
Bob, a man that does his own dentistry
Jim's\Vic's last words at the end there were quite sweet. :)
The smell of Reeves and Mortimer was brilliant.
Thank you, Baked Potato - for everything
im 32 but bob is a hero of mine.. what a progamme shooting stars was
...."PEANUTS"..... laughed all the way down to my core....
I still have no idea why that was so fucking funny, but it makes me laugh every time. I find myself randomly shouting it around the house sometimes.
Shooting Stars was brilliant.
My favourite comedy show of all time. No show has made me laugh so hard in my life
I bought dizzy when I was a wee boy.always loved those guys. ❤️
Loved it, love them.
Thanks mate! Some other prick only uploaded 3 out of 4 parts of this! You’re a legend, thanks
hahah. yep. I also came via that momentarily furious route. Thank you Ben Jones. Happy new year.
you either love or hate them i watched their very first Vic Reeves bg night out on channel 4 and loved them immediately
Great upload fella...Pub singer was MY fave!
shooting stars was brilliant.
Best ever bring it back
'Big Night Out' was just something else. Nothing like it before, others have tried a similar format since but can't.
Thanks for uploading this been hoping it would pop back up for years!
Take A Moment
Genius
Thx for posting my friend

Thanks for uploading!
Amazing especially for comedy duos they live next door to each other real friends
I remember watchin this with my dad as a child 🤣🤣 classic
I watched it about 15 and just rewatched it. So much went over my head then. Rewatch it!
I love Jim's art
This was fascinating thank you
'Friends' 😆 I know which I was watching on Friday nights and it wasn't a US sitcom

How that man made a living I'll never know
That's very true. I found him okay on the radio, on his own. Very weak on here
He has his own niche. His Talk Radio stuff with Danny Kelly circa 1997-2000 is some of the best radio ever done imo.

Big Night Out blew my teenage mind, 10 o'clock on a Friday night on channel 4 if memory serves.
lol I recon it was 9, I was also a teen and that would have been too late for me. Actually it could have been cause Eurotrash was on after 😆
Simply Superb!!!
So many good ones
Loved it. Comedy geniuses.
I worked at the Albany Empire at the time thay did their Big Night out there.
Brilliant!cheers n 🍺 🍻
Id love to know how to get to watch shooting stars again
It might be on Britbox ...but I'm not 100% sure of that.
Catterick is amazing
Randall and Hopkirk was superb, always wondered why it was cancelled after 2 series :(
The smell of Reeves and Mortimer was the peak of their powers.
I will never understand why Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased) failed.
Ur a legend Ron
Never seen this in Australia.
I have only just found out about this show.
No mention of Jack Dee? With his face like a wind-dried puffin...
The best!
They just strike my funny bone. Completely bullseye.
I'd forgotten Emilia Fox was in 'Randall and Hopkirk'
Fascinating look in! But why is no-one talking about Will Self's admittance that participation in the show severely worsened his mental health? From 29:30
Sarcasm!
Yeah, think he was definitely taking the piss there. But the joke about self-harm and bulimia was in pretty poor taste.
@@johnmartinez7440 It really was!

Thanks for this man Do you have the RAB C NESBITT episode of comedy connections?

perfect, find something you enjoy doing then make it your job.
Doing Vic Reeves' singing game in the shower 👌

Wow. Jeremy Edwards at 30.55. That dude has barely aged.
Being from Boro I like Mortimer the best!
I remember being behind Bob Mortimer going through the tills at Food Giant in Hill Street Center once.

@@gorber1971 well Andrew stuck in the Hills street center it will be hard, maybe try Martin road, Boro fish bar? Or the Europa? 😀 joking, good story! I am local, not taking this Pss, just messing all the best!
I liked the Europa
Many of the guests have links with Teesside, e.g Wendy Richard, Frank Bough and many more, It must be deliberate.

Why have I never seen 'Rock Profiles'?
They wouldn't let it lie
Eric Andre.... Release the files!
Mortimer and Reeves.....Jeez!
'Pub singer' was taken from Billy Connolly. Can I just say....
I could watch this all day and not even smile
aaawww that's a shame, hope you feel better soon.
The true sign of a coward 🙄
There's always a job for a grumpy male on the left team on Shooting Stars
And away...
Sadly Mark Lamarr is conspicuous by his absence here. A funny fella.
he's employed by the British Museum to represent *the 50s* - doubt he'll have time to be interviewed.
He quite Showbusiness as far as I'm aware, shame loved him on Shooting Stars and he made Buzzcocks.
And the entire club.
Geordie jeans
Geordie jumpers
What have you done with all the children.
very funny guys
Thought that was Norm McDonald with Bob on the thumbnail then
Norm could be funny, but not Vic and Bob funny.
RIP TPT
Ronnie Wood?
James May?
Look at all the comedy gold they show at the start when bbc had a backbone and look at it now
Sad thing is they no longer speak to each other now
Tolbot still in prison?
Ladies night is yes
What does " Student fan base " mean? under 25's?
I think it means fans who are also students.
Hence the university tour I guess.

Damn, I never knew Will Self was so negatively effected
He had his tongue planted firmly in his cheek .

I genuinely always thought Vic Reeves was his real name!!
Frank Boff and his one thumbs down!
There known as Vic and bob not Jim and bob
See I call celebrity juice the poor man's shooting stars.
Celebrity juice isn't even the poor mans version of noels house party 😂
Nah celebrity juice is amazing
Keith Lemon is smutty, trashy, sticky and unfunny..which also describes ITV funnily enough.

Yes!!
