Simon Amstell Leaves Never Mind the Buzzcocks
Despite re-jigging the format a little over the years [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Buzzcocks has failed to recapture the glory days where Lamarr’s deadpan wit and misanthropic outbursts were coupled with a genuine love for good music. Replacement chairman Simon Amstell was okay (just) but seemed to be trying too hard in his tendency to be edgy or rile up guests [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], most noticeably the hilarious walk out by Samuel Preston of Celebrity Big Brother fame.
The line-up may have changed but the tunes remain the same. Or something like that. As one of the longer running panel shows on British TV, Never Mind the Buzzcocks has been popular with comedy and music fans during its 13 year run regardless of a couple of face lifts. Although the members have changed it’s still a safe go-to place for music trivia and the occasional scathing attack on an uppity pop figure (Robbie Williams was a favourite for former presenter Mark Lamarr).
First up though is shy and underexposed comedian and all round beacon of modesty James Corden best known for his work on BBC Three hit sitcom Gavin and Stacey and embarrassingly poor sketch show Horne & Corden, which single handily proved the claim that television does lead to violence and depression.
Now that Amstell has decided to concentrate on his stand-up tour the position has been left vacant once again to shoe horn in another batch of Have I Got News For You style randoms for series 23 as it did a few years back when Lamarr stepped down. The announcement of some future hosts brings a welcome smile (Rhod Gilbert, David Walliams, Frank Skinner) while others (Dermot O'Leary) reconfirm that this is a Godless existence after all.

TV Review
Based on this first episode either the writing has dropped in quality [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Corden lacks the ability to crack spontaneous witty remarks or it could be that the current big thing in comedy is not funny. Whatever the answer he’s clearly not cut out to be a host, so here’s hoping he’s not in the running. It’s also amusing that a recurring sketch on H&C had him parody Ricky Gervais when he appears to have stolen the man’s act with his obnoxious shouting and annoying laugh.
