"Shooting Stars character Angelos Epithemiou has been given his own show on Channel 4.  Comedian Dan Renton Skinner&amp;#039;s alter ego will take top billing in the newly-commissioned format, which has been announced less than 48 hours after the BBC axed Bob Mortimer and Vic Reeves&amp;#039; long-running panel programme.  Channel 4 revealed that The Angelos Neil Epithemiou Show will feature celebrity guests, new comedy characters and &amp;quot;a full menu of slapstick, jokes, high energy dancing, catchy singing and sophisticated magic&amp;quot;.  Mortimer will also cross over from the BBC to serve as executive producer on the new programme.  &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;re thrilled we&amp;#039;ve got the privilege of allowing Mr Angelos Epithemiou to develop his career on Channel 4,&amp;quot; comedy editor Fiona McDermott stated. Epithemiou first appeared on Shooting Stars in 2009 as a permanent panelist for the show&amp;#039;s sixth series. He was appointed score keeper the following series when Matt Lucas quit his role as George Dawes.  A one-off version of the show aired earlier this year as part of Channel 4&amp;#039;s Comedy Showcase strand.
