Never Mind The Buzzcocks is back for its 22nd series. This series will see a new presenter and new team captain take to the helm. With both SImon Amstell and Bill Bailey leaving the show, Noel Fielding has stepped in to replace Bill Bailey and a number of stars will be replacing Amstell.
Guest presenters including Alex James, Dermot O’Leary, Jack Whitehall, Rhod Gilbert, David Walliams, Frank Skinner, James Corden and Mark Watson. Amstell announced earlier this year that he would step down after three years in the Buzzcocks hot seat to pursue other projects. He was drafted in to replace long running host Mark Lemar but the question is, who can replace Simon Amstell?
With the show’s reputation for the unpredictable, guests are always primed for the occasional embarrassment and harmless ribbing as their knowledge of music is put to the test. Noel Fielding said of joining the show: “I am so excited about Buzzcocks. I am leaping across the Camden rooftops dressed as a small white kitten.”
Katie Taylor, executive editor, says: “It’s great to welcome so many comics and top musicians, many who have proven themselves as Buzzcocks panellists in the past, to the host hot seat. Noel Fielding will bring his eclectic music taste and surrealist humour, whilst Phill, having been there since day one, now takes the title of the elder statesman of the show.”
Never Mind The Buzzcocks will return to BBC Two from Thursday 29 September.
