I was a big fan of the first few Shooting Stars too. The best Panel Show ever. {Knocks spots off the too self-congratulatory QI}. Agreed. I remember the late Larry Hagman was a guest once, and he hadn't got a clue what was going on around him Vic Reeves Big Night Out was brilliant & like Larry Hagman, I didn't know what was going on or what to expect next. Man With A Stick, Wavey Davey, The Wheel Of Justice... I'm off to YouTube for a catch up

With you on the first 3 you mention, wife and me saw Lee Mack recently, but Joe Wilkinson??? Reminds me of that Cornish comedian whose name escapes me, gives me a mild chuckle now and then but mostly irritates me. As you say, funny thing taste. Jethro That's him. Bought one of his videos for the wife once after she'd expressed a vague interest, it was just awful.

The Smell Of Reeves & Mortimer is/was pure genius.

As genius as some of the material is, a lot of Milligan's later stuff is littered with the sort of casual racism that was commonplace at the time. In 2014 it is difficult to watch some of that.

Spike Milligan was a comedy genius but not a very nice person. As Michael Palin put it, "people loved Spike because they didn't actually know him".
