As Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer's panel show returns for an eight series we look at our favourite bits. Have we missed any?

Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer's anarchic game show Shooting Stars returns to BBC2 tonight for its eighth series – the third since its relaunch in 2009. Graeme Hawley and Brigitte Nielsen will be joining grumpy Jack Dee on Team A and James Martin and Ross Noble will accompany Team B's ever-present captain Ulrika Jonsson. While kebab shop owner Angelos Epithemiou will be returning to keep scores and impress with his variety skills – although it is unlikely that he will ever top the moment he lit up his backside with some jeggings stuffed with lightbulbs

From "Ul-ri-ka-ka" to "we really wanna see those fingers", it's unlikely that any TV show has given the world so many catchphrases or indeed, surreal moments. To celebrate the show's return here's our favourite bits from the past 16 years – tell us what we missed in the comments and feel free to debate who was the best Team A captain Mark Lamarr, Will Self or Dee.

Dancing on a Sealink

The very first Christmas special in 1995 with a spectacular musical medley that began with Vic and Bob's slightly altered version of a Lionel Richie classic, revisited the Rupert the Bear theme tune and ended with 50s throwback Lamarr levitating above a greasy spoon.

Geordie Jumpers

Just ahead of their spoof Q&B and Coldland adverts, this commercial for Geordie Jumpers lives long in the memory if only for Self's superb cameo as the looming, awkward outsider who only fits in because he owns the correct knitwear. They've even got a pocket for Broon.

Angelos's Date with Ulrika

Before taking over as scorer Angelos Epithemiou was amazing as Ulrika's right-hand man, especially his many attempts to interest her in a possible date. The Swede appeared repulsed by until Angelos revealed his secret weapon – impressions.

Johnny Vegas Face/Off

Who needs expensive cosmetic surgery to alter your appearance when all you really need is "the gift of hoovers"? When the show returned to BBC Choice in 2002 no expense was spared in transforming Johnny Vegas into a Hollywood star.

Peanuts!

Matt Lucas's George Dawes gave us many a hilarious moment – including making the consumption of jacket potatoes a poignant and romantic pursuit – but his corpsing while attempting to shout the word "peanuts" to a jaunty organ while dressed in figure hugging tracksuit was his finest minute.

Bob's exciting skank

Possibly a tribute to Sparks although we are uncertain, Bob's exuberant dancing is nonetheless impressive – as was the summoning of Donald Cox the Sweaty Fox with the promise of gin.

Kes

Anyone can base a sketch around Rambo or The Terminator but no other double act in the world would bother spoofing a gritty 60s drama about a Yorkshire lad's love for his pet kestrel – Vic's version of Colin Welland is stunningly accurate.

Larry Hagman

Shooting Stars would occasionally snare a visiting American on the promo circuit who had no idea what they had let themselves in for. Some took it with good grace (Curtis "Stiggers" Stigers) others such as Dallas star Larry Hagman spent the entire show in a state of shock

Absorb The Power of the Poultry

In 2002 various sizes of poultry are lowered on to Craig Cash's face on the end of javelins in order to absorb his madness. The psychiatric treatment worked as Craig has, to date, not murdered anybody.

Vic's Christine Bleakley tattoo

Vic's attempts to impress the beautiful ladies to his right reached new levels in 2009 when The One Show presenter Christine Bleakley got a close up view of "something special".
