17 times Never Mind the Buzzcocks was just perfect
TODAY CAME THE sad news that after 18 years the iconic BBC pop quiz Never Mind the Buzzcocks has been axed.
It has given us some beautiful TV moments through the years. Observe:
1. When Preston stormed off the stage in a huff

Iconic.
2. To be replaced by an audience member who looked kind of like him

3. When the guy from Fun Lovin’ Criminals lost it

Huey smashed a mug for no reason and everyone was bemused/scared.
4. When Jedward showed up and were absolute dotes

Just to save money on extras, and because we were going to make the jokes anyway.
13. Noel Fielding’s ability to perfectly rip on any guest

14. Any time Amy Winehouse was on
between-the-cheats between-the-cheats
She always nailed it :(
15. When Josh Groban hosted and everyone fell in love with him

17. When Blue’s Antony Costa was slagged so hard that he just gave up answering
Poor Antony. Still, he probably knew what he was in for when he went on.
We’ll miss you, Buzzcocks.
Thanks to the dedicated and comprehensive NMTB Tumblr for some of the above
