Fresh Meat stars Jack Whitehall and James Buckley have both hit out at the BBC’s decision to axe long running show, Shooting Stars, while their co-star Zawe Ashton has revealed that he’d be ā€œexcitedā€ by a movie spin-off of the show.

Beginning with what Jack and James had to say over the BBC ditching Shooting Stars, Jack began by telling the Sun, ā€œI’m really upset, I love that show.

ā€œI’m really annoyed shows like that don’t get more commitmentā€.

And The Inbetweeners star Simon Bird also waded in with his view about the show being axed, saying, ā€œShooting Stars was one of my favourite shows when I was growing up and it’s been brilliant since it came back.ā€

James Buckley, who was once a guest on Shooting Stars added, ā€œIt’s the only panel show I’ve ever done…

ā€œI love Vic and Bob and I wanted to be a part of it. BBC, what are you doing?ā€

What indeed, however, in other news from the Fresh Meat camp, star Zawe Ashton has told Metro that he’d love it if the show became a movie spin-off, just like The Inbetweeners did this year.

He said, ā€œWell we don’t really do university or college movies here so in terms of it being a first I think it would be exciting.ā€

However, he conceded that for now, he and his co-stars are just happy that Fresh Meat has been so well received by its audience.

He said, ā€œI think we’re just so enjoying the fact that this has been a surprise runaway success.

ā€œI’m not wanting to cram my stocking too full just yet. I’m just happy to see where it just goes, and happy to just get the gang back together really.ā€

Channel 4 recently announced that they were re-commissioning Fresh Meat for a second series since it attracted such high viewing figures.

We will of course get to see that new series next year.

In the meantime, here’s a clip from the show…
