Shooting Stars to return?

Vic Reeves is planning to bring back Shooting Stars yet again.

The cult quiz show has already had one comeback, returning for two series in 2002 after a five-year absence.

And now Reeves says he and cohort Bob Mortimer are trying to persuade the BBC to give the show another run.

He told the Mirror: ‘We’ve had a meeting with the BBC about Shooting Stars coming back and it's looking very hopeful.

‘We'll have to see if [team captain] Ulrika Jonsson is up for it. I've been waiting to get back together with Bob and do new material.’

He added that there was ‘a 90 per cent probability’ of the show coming back.

Reeves is currently working on a new character-based show for Radio 2, as well as a panel show Does the Team Think?, also for Radio 2.
