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
5. Ditto Terry Wogan’s hosting appearance
<3 you Terry.
6. When Mel C left Simon Amstell speechless
Which rarely happened.
7. Every time Dappy was on
8. When Simon absolutely tore Donny Tourette to shreds
9. Those ten seasons where Bill Bailey ruled all
10. When nobody could tell how many Mobies there were
Thanks to guest host Adam Buxton for an inspired contribution.
11. That time David O’Doherty made this valid point
12. When host Mark Lamarr was in the identity parade
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
She always nailed it :(
15. When Josh Groban hosted and everyone fell in love with him
16. That time Jamelia was scared to ask Simon a question
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
