George Dawes wants a Caravan - Shooting Stars series 5

Matt in character as George in character as a Yorkshireman after a caravan.

[@jacbisgood2221]

I've been giggling to this clip for 11 years

[@sladey21]

Just jumped in for another cheeky watch myself 👍

[@Mabus666]

So daft it’s a form of magic

[@danielthompson4463]

I think about this every time I see caravans for sale.

[@ACKWV]

One of my favourite clips to watch.

[@heeeeeresrossy]

Make that 13 for me 🤣😂

[@1chiefg]

What I love the most is that they go to the effort with the costumes, hiring the location, the fancy camera shots and they just do one take and say that'll do, no need to re-do it.

[@Toppercutter]

In my mind they filmed all day and this was the best take 😁

[@AdamMcCarthy74]

I just love the huge crane shot at the beginning and end of the sketch. No need for something so elaborate!

[@MarkPentler]

Adam McCarthy there really is absolutely no need for it and those rigs are not cheap

[@schpleeb]

I know far too elaborate for my taste like the curly wurly

[@robertstraw9881]

The budgets for TV shows back then were bigger. Budgets went down when the internet took over.

[@rich9033]

oh my god 2021 here and this is still hilarious

[@cannonball9478]

Jib shot

[@Chefcouchon]

The fact that they spent all day trying to film this and this is the best they could get it makes it even funnier 😂

[@rf1590]

i think that's mythology and it's just 1 take.

[@shanekelley7682]

Ronnie Barker wasn't funny.

From the Guardian. Bob: I did a sketch with Matt Lucas on shooting stars. The premise was that I was selling caravans and he was buying one off me. But the sketch was that he wouldn't buy a caravan whatever happened. I thought 30 seconds in I thought it was rubbish and a waste of money and clothing - but it's turned out to be one of my favourites.

[@davellewellyn9306]

Still watching this in 2022 and its still as funny as the day I first saw it🤣

[@Basin79]

October 2021 and I still regularly type "Shooting Stars buying a caravan" into the search bar and watch this laughing. So nonsensical yet so bloody good.

[@lindalangart]

I've been searching for a sketch they did where they are playing police officers investigating a mysterious bag, but they use a bird that is attached to their arm to do the investigation while playing a tune on a portable stereo. The higher the rank, the bigger the bird. I can't find it anywhere

[@Basin79]

@@lindalangart I've tried googling and can't find anything either.

@@Basin79 thanks for trying, lol. I'm happy watching uploads of shooting stars in an effort to find it

[@TheSnozwangler]

This and the peanuts song

[@leehayward9899]

The most pointless yet hilarious sketch I have ever seen. Comedy at it's finest.

[@fatbarnsleybloke]

You couldn't write something like that, it just had to happen

[@JT-sr2pl]

I could watch it everyday

[@CyberBeep_kenshi]

I just love the fact they can't stop laughing either. No one took it seriously including them. :-)

[@TWH442]

That noise when he wobbles his face

[@johnellis955]

I was laughing with tears, so much so that I didn't know who was buying or selling. In 2009 I was travelling the UK with my wife in a White caravan.

[@The_Hoxton_Hipster]

This is hilarious even Bob and Matt can’t keep straight faces. I’m sure after a few seconds whatever script they had goes out the window they’re just both laughing and ad libbing. Matt especially at the end can’t hold it together!

[@littlejames22]

This is the best Shooting Stars clip I've ever seen, knew I'd find it on UA-cam, brilliant! I don't even kno why it's so funny, just the genuine skitting is very infectious. Tears in my eye and that is no lie!

[@petiauk7]

One of the funniest things ever. Added to the 'script' 🤔🤣 is Matt's clobber 🤣 A suede boiler suit with a random skinny belt around his upper abdomen?? 🤣😂🤣😂

[@chrissoi]

This is the best sketch in the world. EVER

[@tommohawksaxe2609]

That's how you squeeze a pint and a half of funny into a half pint sketch. Legendary

[@FennFennFenn]

I'm not shaking your 'and, do you think im gonna shake your 'and. Alright I'l shake your 'and. Ahahaha! 1:05

[@nevillebartos789]

Why Shooting Stars hasn't yet been brought to DVD is absolutely baffling to me. Some of the funniest shit ever. Sort it out BBC.

[@oldschoolm8]

I love this ridiculous, pointless scene. It’s a complete gaff that’s all the more charming because it’s real.

[@sfshinz]

I don't think I've laughed so hard since "PEA-NUTS!"

[@controversialchristian2378]

What's it about?

[@sfshinz]

@@controversialchristian2378 "it's abaht PEANUTS!"

[@babyshambler]

It's a short play based on Rousseau's 'social contract' theory.

[@Rich7714]

In only a Reeves & Mortimer sketch could you find a major "blooper" scene which is still so good that they just think "Oh f*** it; let's just keep this take - no need to record another!", & the scene turns out wonderfully! Amazing Reeves & Mortimer, plus Matt Lucas, of course

[@D0W666]

This is for Shooting Stars and "Reeves" isn't in this.

[@jimi060]

i love how they both are so unstable, and yet they dont film it again

[@babyshambler]

George's song 'Peanuts' is a prime example of this! It's on UA-cam as well :)

[@matiasmonkeyman]

i am just sittin here crying to myself it's too funny haha. should bring back shooting stars

[@mylestails]

best sketch ever, kills me every time

[@luscotp]

best skit from shooting star ever

[@ashleyporter9547]

This is a giggle loop. The absurdity of the sketch builds and builds until laughter is the only outcome.

[@gregjordan38]

Every time i see this it makes me laugh. Remember watching this when it first aired. Classic

[@EaterOfBirds]

Don't remember this sketch from back on the day, absolutely dying 😂

[@aahmm]

I have waited years for this to pop up on youtube! You are a wonderful man for uploading

[@Coltronix]

I love the fact that this was the take they used, imagine how bad the rest were if this was the one that made the cut

[@gfbruce4363]

hahaha! the most bizarre interaction ever.

[@mic7able]

Amazing to think this was the best take!
But who doesn't love corpsing!

Sheer Brilliance.

How can there be thumbs down on this? I can't imagine my miserable parents or grandparents watching it.

One of my favourite things about this sketch that often gets missed is when Matt Lucas’s character states angrily “Do you think I’m gonna shake your hand” and then he immediately shakes his hand 😂

(a) stick rigidly to the script
(b) deviate slightly from the script
(c) lose the script then try to remember it
(d) script? What script?
