Nevermind the Buzzcocks

[IAceI]

Okay so this our replacement for Mock the Week, anybody watching?

"Patrick Kielty, what a cock."

[Buford Ripley]

Big Phil looks rather snazzy as an old school Mark Lamarr doppleganger.

[IAceI]

I have no idea whats going on with Phill's babyface, it scares me

[therockbox]

Ugh, I hope Lamarr eventually decides to come back. There were the odd funny bits, but Amstell is just awful.

[IAceI]

I quite enjoyed Amstell, he took about 10 minutes for me to get used to. But lets face it, it's going to be the Amstell/Bailey show much like it used to be the Lamarr/Bailey show.

Any interaction between anyone and Bill Bailey will be humerous.

[YI]

Amstell was alright, when he didn't try and be a poor man's Mark Lamarr, he just can't do the deadpan sarcasm like Lamarr can. The stuff about the umbrella etc, was great, when he was merely being himself, not living up to the stereotypical Buzzcock's host shtick.

Was it just me or has Anthea Turner aged well? She's like 45, but looked surprisingly/really hot.

And I missed the Jack Dee thing, but Susan off Teachers is in it. People off Teachers shouldn't work again (Unless you're Andrew Lincoln). It ruins it. Jenny was in Nathan Barley and that Post Office thing, that lad off series 4 is Robin Hood and Jeremy is in The History Boys (Which is great...but awfully gay. Like every other person loves the cock). Nobody else off Teachers should get work until Brian and Kurt show back up on the tele. Actually I believe Kurt may have been in the NY-LON drama a couple of years back. And according to wikipedia Brian won a celebrity poke tournament on Challenge not that long ago...bwahahahahaa.

I liked Amstell, more than Lamarr. Lamarr got really old really quickly IMO.

Amstell was great.

But I don't like the way Phil Jupitus looks now. He used to look the youngest, now he looks the second oldest. No one can look older than Bill.

I could seriously watch any Never Mind The Buzzcocks and enjoy it, even if it's one I've seen five times already. Luckily for me, I also have UKTV Gold.

And I haven't watched any NMTB since Lamarr left. He's my role model.

'OH LORD. WHY HATH THOU FORSAKEN ME?!?!!'

[Steeb]

I thought it was hilarious. Sure, Amstell is no Lamarr, but he's a totally different presenter. He coped well for someone taking such an established spot. There were various moments I laughed out loud. He seems far better - IMO at least - at doing the 'sly digs' at guests. The lines he was saying to the guy from Deacon Blue being a good example.

[Pesci]

Amstell was alright. Is he the regular host or are they doing the guest host thing again? He was funny in parts, but I miss Lamarr. Plus, Amstell just looks too young and innocent for me. His insults don't come with much of a sting.

[YI]

Amstell is the full time host.

Oh yeah. I FUCKING HATE THE NEW TITLES!!!

[Iain76er]

Yeah, the new titles were shitty. They should've just kept the ones they had for the last 12 years (or however long it has been).

Get on the desk, they can't climb!

It's lying around on youtube as well as part of the 10 minute best bits of NTB. Quality stuff.

There it is incase anyone wants a chuckle.

Odd that it's got HHH's music before and after.

[therockbox]

Amy Winehouse is a mess.

[Farmer Reil]

Bill Oddie was fucking cringeworthy last week. Didn't see it this week yet (recorded it on Sky+), but it can't be shitter than last week.

Amstell has his moments, I could get used to him. But Bill Oddie, was far worse than any other panel show guest ever

[The Kraig]

That Bill Oddie episode is the first I've seen of the new episode. Please tell me it's not that shit every week?
