Never Mind The Buzzcocks

Postby schwenko » Mon Dec 29, 2008 6:51 am

did a search on this forum and couldn't find any reference to this, so...

This is/was a UK telly show that (IIUC) is/was a sort of 80s trivia quiz. Not sure if it is/was available in the USA, but now the episodes are posted on YouTube

Just doing some rapid scanning, I see Suggs, Peter Hook and Midge Ure listed as guests.

The show is more of a topical music quiz with the occasional section that covers the previous decades. Many 80s stars have appeared on it (especially on the odd one out round), although my favourite was Cathy Dennis, very pretty and completely cuckoo! [:D]

I'm not that keen on the new presenter as he tries to make out he's one of the lads and not that convincing when doing it. Mark Lamarr may be a smug arrogant twit, but his self-reserved personality was the opposite to the show's regulars and gave it the frission the show needed.
