They Think It's All Over is a British comedy panel game with a sporting theme produced by Talkback and shown on BBC One. The show's name is taken from Kenneth Wolstenholme's famous 1966 World Cup commentary quotation, "they think it's all over...it is now!" and the show used the phrase as the last line of every programme. In 2006 the show was axed after 11 years of being on-air.

Celebrating its tenth year on the screen this hilarious compilation of the very best of the show features regulars David Gower, Gary Linekar, Rory McGrath, Lee Hurst, his replacement Jonathan Ross and hapless quiz master Nick Hancock. Of course that doesn’t include a decades worth of top sports and TV stars both on the teams and taking part in the infamous “feel the sportsman” round. More laddish and less staid than A Question Of Sport this really is the very best of They Think It’s All Over.

Shooting Stars is a British television comedy panel game broadcast on BBC Two as a pilot in 1993, then as 3 full series from 1995 to 1997, then on BBC Choice from January to December 2002 with 2 series before returning to BBC Two for another 3 series from 2008 until its cancellation in 2011. Created and hosted by double-act Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer, it uses the panel show format but with the comedians' often slapstick, surreal and anarchic humour does not rely on rules in order to function, with the pair apparently ignoring existing rules or inventing new ones as and when the mood takes them.
