We take a fond look back at some of the most hilarious moments from Vic and Bob's surreal variety show/celebrity panel game.

1. The spectacular musical medley that introduces this Shooting Stars Christmas special kicks off with Vic and Bob's take on a Lionel Richie classic, revisits the theme from Rupert the Bear and concludes with Mark Lamarr's levitating version of Mr Boombastic. Simply stunning.

Watch the clip…

2. Guest Paul Whitehouse valiantly attempts to get a round of drinks in for the Hapsburg King, hampered by some pesky anarchists.

3. George Dawes's touching duet with a baked potato is a musical morality tale.

4. Nigella Lawson gets saucy in the kitchen.

5. An exuberant tribute to 80s electro duo Sparks, followed by the luring in of Donald Cox the Sweaty Fox with the promise of gin.

6. George's spookily accurate rendition of the theme from Rentaghost. Haunting.

7. The Sunderland Independent Film Corporation presents Michael Douglas in Falling Down.

8. Dangerous psychopath Craig Cash is strapped down for some psychiatric therapy of the poultry kind.

It's clearly the Brookside skit where Vic and Bob play Jimmy Corkhill and Mick Johnson respectively! Mick asks Jimmy if he can name all of the ingredients of a Hawaiian pizza only for Jimmy to get it wrong by thinking heroin is the final topping. Classic.

And "cake like a shoe" is from the Masterchef sketch on "The Smell of..." not from "Shooting Stars".

I think the song George sings about peanuts is a winner!

Best Shooting Star moment?

Easily, by a country mile, the sketch Matt Lucas and Bob did in which Bob plays a caravan salesman in the face of Matt wobbling his head from side to side and making Bob crack up.

The laughter between both of them is genuine I reckon and is Shooting Stars gold! Hunt it down on YouTube now.
