Never Mind the Buzzcocks has been masquerading as comedy for more than ten years, and a brow-furrowing 21 series. They'd be better off sticking Phill Jupitus and Bill Bailey on a sofa with a couple of pints and letting them discuss 30 minutes of archive pop videos. That's where the value of the show is. Everything else is fulfilling some desperate criteria to appeal to the 15-25 demographic, while forgetting about what actually makes good telly.

Amstell's influence on the questions has also been quick to take hold. Mark Lamarr's style contrastingly comes across as lazy in retrospect. His own ego fooled him into thinking he was funny just because he turned up. Simon Amstell, unlike Preston, is no ordinary boy.
