The duo's Shooting Stars series was dropped by the BBC last year, and Sky after initial interest opted not to save the popular long-running show.

Lucky Sexy Winners has been billed as an updated, reworked version of Shooting Stars, but the show promises to feature more "unexpected anarchic twists", new comedy talent and original sketches than the BBC Two show.
Vic and Bob began their TV career on Channel 4 in 1990, when Jonathan Ross's Channel X brought their Vic Reeves Big Night Out show to the broadcaster.
The new series is part of Channel 4's Funny Fortnight season, a two-week run of new shows, stand-up and familiar faces.
Shane Allen, Channel 4 Head of Comedy, said: "Channel 4 has been at the forefront of British comedy from day one. We've launched so many careers by backing new talent and have never been afraid to get in trouble all for the comedy cause.
"Channel Four's Funny Fortnight is a chance to celebrate our achievements with a raft of new shows featuring many of the biggest names in British comedy."
