Description: BBC2 / Mark Lamarr hosts a pop music quiz.

Newest Review: ... object and has to guess how it caused an injury to a musician. Compared to other panel shows (HIGNFY, Mock the Week) Never Mind the Buzzcocks is very light hearted and given it revolves around music, they almost never have a serious point to make or difficult material to tackle. As the guests are often musicians and not comedians, they can sometimes be quite bland. Not that all musicians ... more

The basics: Never Mind the Buzzcocks is a light-hearted music based panel show which has been running since 1996.

This show just reminds me I am getting older! I remember a time when I used to follow contemporary pop and rock pretty closely. This I no longer do. Looking back, as a youngster, it seemed that there was an urgent necessity to keep in touch with the latest sounds, rather than an actual want. I also remember a time when i could walk into a pub quiz and really tilt the balance for my team, when it came to the music round. Nowadays I know this would not be the case - not because I go to lots of pub quizzes and have seen myself fail, but because I am finding the questions on Buzzcocks increasingly harder.
