Never Mind The Buzzcocks

as all panel shows, this is made or broken by the guests. and as with HIGN4U, particularly by the guest host.

tantrum bloke Huey was ridiculous, Jupitus was clearly swaying from shock to anger to wry amusement, with the rizzle boys actually doing a surprisingly brilliant job of holding it together until the end of the show.
Can someone actually explain what a rizzle kick actually is? not some dirty sex swapper move is it?
 
Just made himself look like a total cunt didnt he?
It was actually quite dangerous, ceramic chards are basically like glass (I think) and they could have hit someone in the eye. He looked like a cunt even before that though, talk about turning up to collect you fee.
 
Brand new series started tonight, complete with new permanent host, Rhod Gilbert. Good choice I think.

I think he is a good choice as there is less of the aggressive sarcasm (which is fine, but wore a bit thin after 13 years of Lamarr and Amstell).

I do wonder if the format is a bit tired though. Have I Got News For You seems to just about manage as it has a much broader brief and there are always politicians and scandals to satirise.

But being funny about pop music in a gameshow format might be a bit more limited, I dunno.

It was good to see Wayne Wonder in the line up last night though :-)
 
Rhod Gilbert has totally rescued this show. I'd just about given up on the thing altogether, but his chaotic energy has made the show into something completely different, and it can be very funny indeed.
 
I agree. He may be chaotic but he's given it a kind of coherence it had hasn't had for years, and his input also seems to have given Jupitus a kick up the complacent arse.
