Bill Bailey replaced by Noel Fielding, that's enough to stop watching.

bill bailey quit doing tv panel shows last year. he talked about it in an interview with The Times..

That was a good read

I loved the quote "I can't stand here with some gormless indie twerp humming the intro to In The Air Tonight to some daytime TV presenter..."

Just like Frankie Boyle leaving Mock the Week (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/north_east/8287297.stm), all things come to an end.

Mark Lamarr made Never Mind the Buzzcocks.

Bill Bailey was very good, will be missed, Noel Fielding is alright, I enjoyed the Mighty Boosh but always thought it was very over rated. Big Phil, is very meh. Doesn't make me laugh, never really has.

Amstell was funny, I quite enjoyed the shows with him presenting.

Can't see it picking up as many viewers now, well maybe the "cool crowd" who like Noel.

Well I never did watch the previous episode but caught most of this one with Rhod Gilbert and it was superb, I haven't laughed that much at a quiz show in a very long time. Actually pretty much all the guests did a good job or at least accepted their place as the butt of the jokes well.

I'd never even heard of Rhod Gilbert until this evening but I thought he was hilarious.

Gabby Logan is hot too...

Tummy · 8 Oct 2009 at 22:27

I like Rhod Gilbert, I listen to his radio shows best bits podcast.

Very funny man, enjoyed tonight a lot but it didn't quite feel like Never Mind the Buzzcocks, can't quite put my finger on it.

Next week has a lot to love up to.

Can't say I've ever been a fan of Rhod Gilbert, but I thought he was exceptional tonight.

I almost gave up on Buzzcocks after watching last week's drivel.

Tonight's episode was excellent

lemonkettaz · 8 Oct 2009 at 22:39

I changed my view on Rhod Gilbert kind of.

I didn't like his stand up because he just shouted, but on that show he was really funny tonight.

The show is still below par without Amstell or Bailey

Liefrich · 8 Oct 2009 at 23:15

The only reason I used to watch it was to see Amstell rip into some nomark celebrity. It was entertaining tonight but for me there was no real laugh out loud moments.

Fisk · 8 Oct 2009 at 23:50

It was a great show tonight, Rhod was brilliant

It wasn't really NMTB in the traditional Lamarr and Amstell style though, the show doesn't have the same feel to it with guest hosts.

I thought last weeks was funnier, although Rhod was a good host.

Last week was the worst I've seen since I started watching 3 years ago.
Today was refreshing from last week but I miss Amstell...

CliffyBiro · 9 Oct 2009 at 00:16

That was excellent.

In fairness I'd never really seen NMTB before. I just really enjoyed them taking the **** out of Paloma or whatver her name was.

marc2003 · 9 Oct 2009 at 00:43

that was certainly better than the ****** they had on last week.

simisker · 9 Oct 2009 at 03:19

Aye, Rhod was surprisingly funny as the host... though he had good friend Greg 'the bloated corpse of Rik Mayall' Davies to bounce off, which gave him a head start.

But still, it was good to see the righteous indignation of his wonderful stand-up come through on a panel show for the first time. The banter between him and Gabby was excellent

So so poor compared to the last 4 series.
