If you like this video, here’s a rare-ish Shooting Stars one: https://youtu.be/eTTNRRdTyNo

One of the greatest ever chances of fate and gift to humanity was the night Vic/Jim found Bob

The Paul Whitehouse stuff is so sweet.

Two boys that forgot to grow up...simply marvellous

These 2 were hilarious. The comedy was bonkers

For anyone of a certain age back then, Vic and Bob were a sensation!! I think it was the radical nature of their comedy that appealed to us. No  one came close to what they were doing. That was the joy of it!!

My mate was complaining that I got these catch phrases wrong all the time, he just wouldn't let it go.

I think they've been funnier since but at the time, what they were doing, was truly groundbreaking.

Legends. English humour at it's best

Sunday night at the pub, with big night out on the TV when I got home. The 90s were brilliant

‘Come come Mrs Pickford - it’s only a vegetable’

This is and was so good. Even now it’s cracking me up.

Vic and Bob never met in real life, everything was filmed twice and the footage combined later.

This show was a breath of fresh air in those days. An anarchic flavour of fun and cerebral silly madness.
I watched my video of the Big Night Out on Tour so many times that I could recite the script and it had the added bonus of an impromptu appearance of The Wonderstuff at the end. Happy Days ❤😊❤

I'm glad this isn't one of those where they have barely known celebrities pretending that they remember this particular Morecambe and Wise sketch that they love so much, when its clear that they've just been shown it and that Joey Essex or whoever probably doesn't even know who they are.
Maybe this was before shows like that were inflicted on us though.

Great to come home from the pub and watch this half cut every week. I've got the all on VHS.

Was in the audience once for a Big Night Out, sadly was unable to get an autograph from the man made entirely of hazelnuts.

❤ unique and glorious 😊

One of the top 3 tv shows and live acts of all time. Surreal, bizarre but oh so funny. Well presented by Matt as well

I was a fan of the Big Night Out going back to being a kid, I actually remember Jim (Vic) being in another sketch before that, most likely on Jonathan Ross's show, where his wife was having a water birth in the local municipal pool, and Roland Rivron was helping out!  
Anyway, one of the extremely few times I've ever been star-struck into absolute silence occurred in "The Crown & Two Chairmen" pub in Soho back in late 1997. Myself and my band, who'd all travelled down from Scotland together to meet with various record company people, were sat having a quick pint when in walked Mark Lamarr and Ulrika Johnson, who were then joined shortly after by Bob Mortimer, who all grabbed a table at the window, just by the door. It was my turn to get them in and I was stood at the bar, when I sensed someone stood next to me on my left, and it was Bob, buying a round. I was immediately struck by how small he was, and my brain kept trying to squeeze the words "Bob, hate to be a fanboy pain in the arse, but I'm a big admirer of your work" through the neural pathways and down to my mouth, with absolutely no success.
Just then I heard a little bit of mumbled speech, and turned round to see that Matt Lucas had turned up, wearing one of those little ornately adorned velvet "sweetie tub" style hats with small round mirrors circling the brim, removing his jacket (which I think was multi-coloured) before gesturing to Bob still stood at my side that he would have the same as Mark.

Sadly, Vic never showed, it was just the four of them. So we sat, utterly dumbstruck, three tables away trying not to laugh hysterically at the sheer absurdity of watching four of 90s British pop culture's most well-known TV comedy stars of the moment fire a Chardonnay and a couple of pints of Stella down their respective necks.
I've assumed to this day that they had come fresh from or were heading to either a rehearsal or filming of Shooting Stars.
It will forever remain one of the most painful "missed opportunities" of my life.
