You will normally find this 30 minute comedy pop quiz on BBC2 after the watershed however it is also repeated quite a bit on Dave1 which is a new channel (or at least a new name) on cable and satellite. The show is similar to Have I Got News for You in that it combines regular team captains with guests each week however rather than ...  Read the complete review

Laddish quiz games appealing to lager louts crossed with intellectually aspiring wits enjoyed a great role stage centre in the 1990's with such progs as Have I Got News For You (one of the first and still one of the best despite the removal of Angus Deayton), They Think It's All Over ...  Read the complete review

Although it may seem it has outstayed its welcome, Never Mind the Buzzcocks still manages to amuse me on a weekly basis. Although the earlier series were more original, the introduction of comedian Bill Bailey, to replace the unfunny Shaun... whatever his name was, has added a new element of humour. Bailey is hilarious in his own right, while Mark ...  Read the complete review

The quiz programme played for laughs. There's been a few of those over the last ten years or so. You know what I mean, Have I Got News For You, They Think It's All Over, Shooting Stars, even (God save us) TV Addicts with that despicable little creature with naff pullovers, Noel Edmonds. HIGNFY is probably the pick of them with ...  Read the complete review

It has been compared to “They think it’s all over” and “Have I got news for you”, well have I got news for you as this is much better and it continues to astound me how it does not fare better or deserve a prime time slot on BBC 1. The programme is more accessible to the public as it does not require you to have a ...  Read the complete review

This is a billiant pop music quiz hosted by Mark Lamar. There are 3 people on each team (one captain and two guests). The captains to each team are Sean Hughes and Phil Jupitus. The guests change on each show. Below I have included a breakdown of each round: Round 1) In round one each team is given a video with three funny ...  Read the complete review

I love Never Mind the Buzzcocks, because firstly it is based on music, which is something i love, secondly becase the regulars- Phil Jupitus, Mark Lamaar and Sean Hughes are immensley funny, and thirdly because they usually have good guests from the music world. The thing about this show is that it doesnt take itself too seriously, and the ...  Read the complete review

To start with a question...how in any realms of absurdity or fantasy land can this show be classed as a gameshow? I mean, Mark Lamaar tells the contestants the answers most of the time and decideds to take a break during the quick fire round because it is funny and the gameshow aspect doesnt matter. Mark Lamaar presents and is one of the ...  Read the complete review

“Never mind the Buzzcocks”, is to music, what “They think it’s all over” is to football, in other words, it’s a quiz show with a difference, when I say it has a difference, I mean it is more of a comedy based quiz show, and can be absolutely hilarious at times, and can include lots of swearing, insults, etc. ...  Read the complete review

This show is my favorite show ever this is of the fact that there is so much great comedy on it. The show is prsented by Mark Lammar who proberly produces about 75% of the comedy on the show. You have the two team captains who are Phil Jupitus who does get a lot of stick from Mark Lamaar about his size but he takes it on the chin and you have ...  Read the complete review

Never mind the Buzzcocks is a game show centred around music. Sounds a bit boring really dosent it. Well, it’s not, because you have 2 comedians, Mark Lamar (the host) and 4 different guests each week. Having 2 comedians on each week adds that extra bit of comedy which the show just wouldn’t last without. Have a think about TV ...  Read the complete review

I had been planning to read some more of my rather boring Catherine Cookson book tonight, but my other half decided he wanted to watch Never Mind The Buzzcocks (BBC 2, Mondays at 9pm). As he turned the television on, I saw two of the guests were the very sexy but a bit arrogant Darius Danesh (famous for his unique rendition of ...  Read the complete review

Never Mind the Buzzcocks is another panel show, part of the same crop that sprung up in the early-mid 90’s. Have I got News for You has topical affairs, They Think its All Over has sport and Buzzcocks has music and does some very funny things with it. It is now in its umpteenth series and shows little sign of giving up ...  Read the complete review

Never Mind The Buzzcocks is a BBC2 programme which is essentially a quiz show, but like so many nowadays, there is also an element of comedy attached to make the whole programme more attractive to a wider audience. (Have I Got News For You and They Think It's All Over are good examples). First shown in 1996, the host of the show is ...  Read the complete review

Mark Lamarr's quiz is just a class above anything else, it certainly lightened up my Friday nights. Mark Lamarr's wit was only surpassed but the dopeyness of some of the people on it. The lead singer of Terrovision was on once and he was completely useless, he couldn't even recognize his own songs lyrics. The variety of the ...  Read the complete review

This is one of the only comedy shows on the BBC that is actually funny. Along with "They Think Its All Over" its the only show that will actually make me laugh aloud. The wit and sarcasm of Mark Lamarr never fails to tickle even my Dad who does not usually watch programmes like that and the contrast of Sean Huges and Phil Jupitus ...  Read the complete review
