Never Mind the Buzzcocks
''Never Mind the Buzzcocks'' is a British comedy panel game show with a pop music theme. It has aired on Sky Max since September 2021, having originally aired between November 1996 and January 2015 on BBC Two. The original series was first hosted by Mark Lamarr, then by Simon Amstell, and later by a number of guest presenters, with Rhod Gilbert hosting the final series. It first starred Phill Jupitus and Sean Hughes as team captains, with Hughes being replaced by Bill Bailey from the eleventh series, and Bailey replaced by Noel Fielding for some of series 21 and from series 23 onward. The show returned six years later, now hosted by Greg Davies, with Daisy May Cooper as the new captain and Fielding returning as a captain. The show is produced by Talkback. The title plays on the names of the Sex Pistols album ''Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols'' and the band Buzzcocks.The show was known for its dry, sarcastic humour and scathing, provocative attacks on people and objects. It had some controversial guests throughout its initial 18-year run. On 26 May 2015, it was announced that the BBC had decided not to recommission the show, in order to "create space for new entertainment formats". In September 2020, it was announced that Sky was reviving the show. In June 2021, Sky confirmed that eight episodes and a Christmas special would be shown later in the year, with Davies hosting.
