George Dawes wants a Caravan - Shooting Stars series 5 

I've been giggling to this clip for 11 years

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.

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

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

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

You think I'm gonna shake your hand?!.... Alright I'll shake your hand

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.

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

Every so often when I’m having a bad day, I play this clip.

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.

This is the best Shooting Stars clip I've ever seen, knew I'd find it on RU-vid, 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!

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

That noise when he wobbles his face

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

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.

This is the best sketch in the world. EVER

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

Always watch stuff like this,when i need a bit laugh.

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!

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

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

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.

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?? 🤣😂🤣😂

I've not seen this before, I'm crying laughing..

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

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

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

Just moved to a house where the neighbors have a caravan on their drive; so tempted, so tempted 🤣

I really need to grow up, as my grandkids keep telling me. I’m still giggling at this clip and it has to be 20 or more years old.

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

I couldn't watch this without smiling or laughing my head off comedy class

Still piss myself every time i see this, some of my mates don't really get it?

This and the Fast Shows Garden Party sketch still , after all these years , make me laugh my arse off .

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

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

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

I don't know if it was ad-lib but watching every interaction between them seems like it half was and indeed effing hilarious.

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

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

best sketch ever, kills me every time

best skit from shooting star ever

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

This is why we win wars.

hahaha! the most bizarre interaction ever.

The most unprofessional bit of good fun on RU-vid

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

Matt's laugh is magic

This sort of thing goes on in the deepest, darkest parts of Norfolk.

Sheer Brilliance.

This would be such a funny thing to really do at a dealership. I just wouldn't be able to keep a straight face doing it though

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 😂

Never seen this clip before. It's legendary.

Every time I see this i'm crying laughing.

There has never been anything on tv as funny as shooting stars. ok the new series aint what it used to be but its still better than any other shit on telly

I'm fucking crying here!!! Bob totally losing it at 1:00

still does me in 2019 😂

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

haha awesome head shaking lol...luv it on 40secs onward when they both start crackin up n cant control their laughin lol

Peaky Blinders Season 15!!

Can't stop laughing at this!! Crazy stuff!!

This is the best BRITISH comedy sketch ever

So funny. Whatever the plans were for this sketch were taken over by fun Lucas's having doing the face wobble. Im crying laughing at this!

The first video I ever watched on RU-vid! Shop 🤣

‘Any particular colour?’ ‘White’

the best skit ever resorded

SHOP!

I do this all the time in shops: if the shopkeeper laughs I say "Let me have this free if you laugh?" It's never worked.

His face can certainly do a lot

"Shop!!" 😁😁🤣🤣

its shooting stars. its just hilarous

Yeah I’ll shake ur hand !!

this is so funny! saw this a couple of times this show is the best.

absolute quality

One of a few sketches that make me laugh every time aha

Spot on! Love Catterick haha

So, did they (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?

Its funny at "shop".

This is bloody amazing.

what a classic.George Dawes at his best.

And what was the bloody question then? Ayyyy

So great cos it was improvised

cant stop watching this and laugh everytime.fucking top class.

you could say they invented this type of comedy, you see it so much these days.

ridiculously amazingly funny

I liked the bit where he shaked his face.

Why does everything have to have a reason nowadays, can't we just laugh at the crazy and absurd nature of it? I irony is almost dead!

Here again,..... Needed a laugh.

Never mind the caravan, please tell me that was actually Clement Freud on wills team. Who persuaded him to go on shooting stars?

Do they just make these up as they go along and just put in the best one? Hilarious anyway. Myleene Klass in 2002.....Yum!

I just found this clip yay

Turn the speed down. It's even funnier.

Either slowed down, or sped up makes this even funnier 😂

Poor imitations of it yeah! They remain the best :)

Brilliant

Absolute shambles but wouldn't want it any other way.

Brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!

cool stuff :)

I've still not, not laughed at this. Long may it continue

i reckon it's that that makes it so funny!!! :)

Pure Class 😂😂😂
