BBC calls time on Never Mind the Buzzcocks

The BBC has announced that flagship music panel show Never Mind the Buzzcocks will not be returning for another series.

After nineteen years and twenty-eight series, the show has been pulled in favour of “new entertainment formats,” according to the BBC.

Mark Lamarr was the original presenter, followed by a spell from Simon Amstell. The latter was responsible for the show’s defining moments, from Dappy’s introduction as a regular guest to Preston from the Ordinary Boys’ mid-show tantrum.

Rhod Gilbert was the show’s final presenter, with Phil Jupitus Noel Fielding remaining as team captains.
