* CreatorBreakdown: According to the ''Shooting Stars'' documentary, the show left a negative impact on the personal wellbeing of its' regulars. Original Team A captain regular Mark Lamarr left after the third series in fear of getting typecast and has more-or-less retired from the public eye. Regular panelist Johnny Vegas was encouraged by Vic and Bob to drink a pint on set, unaware that he was battling a serious case of alcoholism, whilst second Team A captain Will Self, then a heroin addict at the time, privately found the duo's jibes hard to bear under his stony-faced demeanour.
