'Never Mind the Buzzcocks' is a comedy trivia quiz show based around pop music. Originally hosted by comedian Mark Lamarr from February 1996 until October 2006, the show is now currently being presented by a former contestant, the often obnoxious and hilariously quick-witted Simon Amstell. Team captains Phil Jupitus and 'Black Books' actor/ comedian Bill Bailey (who replaced former panel captain Sean Hughes in May 2002) are joined each week by different music stars from both Britain and abroad. Popular games include challenges where team members have to identify song introductions hummed to them (usually quite badly) and another where a once famous music star has to be picked out of a line-up of lookalikes. The show became an instant hit after it began airing in 1996, and is now considered required viewing in Britain. Here's an episode from season 20... Never Mind The Buzzcocks on youtube Enjoy!
