'Never Mind The Buzzcocks' back on October 21st

Basq

Still with a distinct lack of Simon Amstell however!

Starts on BBC2 on October 21st (a fortnight on Thursday). Not much news from the new season bar this:

Comic Jack Dee apparently almost made Jedward cry during filming for the latest series of Never Mind The Buzzcocks, because he taunted them so much. BBC bosses are now considering how much editing is needed before they can air the footage without causing offence.

The Beeb - if you're reading this, edit absolutely nothing!

EDIT: He apparently called them "a special needs versions of each other" - yikes! :eek:

Ditto. Messing with the guests is always the best part.

Basq

See the edit above for what set them off.. apparently!

I'm all for "good ol' fashioned ribbing".. but sounds like he might have went a bit too far.

Brilliant lol

ShaneU

I hope Noel Fielding is still on it

alastair_doom

Apparently (cant remember where I read it) even the crowd began to turned against Dee towards the end of the show, and they wouldn't be typical Jedward fans.

Could still be a great ep if they show it unedited, but knowing the Beeb, I wouldn't be surprised if they just pulled the episode.

Lack of Amstell makes it very hard to get too excited for this again.

Unfair to Special needs people.

remember yerman jupitus was giving out about this kind of thing

Basq

Bump for reminder..

.. this is back tonight at 11.20pm on BBC2 NI (or 10pm if you've BBC2 London in your EPG).

phasers

11.20?

That's way past my bedtime

FreudianSlippers

As much as I love Noel Fielding, no Simon is gonna be hard to watch.

JP Liz V1

So who is presenting now or is it guests?

WolfForager

11.20? So much for an early night!

ShaneU

The guy with the dog haircut was hilarious

Basq

Terrible episode, but Paul Foot was fantastic!

Ronson always come across as a royal arsehole, and Fielding wasn't really on form... and Jupitus, well, he rarely is decent.

Am pretty sure there's an Irish guest host at some stage.. one of my mates heard it on the radio. I asked who but he couldn't remember.. surely we can probably narrow it down to Andrew Maxwell / Jarlath Regan / Dermot Whelan / Neil Delamere / Colin Murphy / David O Doherty or Ed Byrne?

Heard it on 2fm today, tis Dermot O'Leary.(Ntt sure if he really counts as Irish tbh)

EDIT: Actually... I think his name may have just been mentioned along with the actual Irish guest host, but i've just got mixed up...

Basq

Oh... he heard this a week or two back, and he was sure it was an Irish comedian.

But he couldn't remember, so he probably was mistaken.

EDIT: On the plus side, Frankie Boyle is hosting at some stage, as is Terry Wogan and Jack Dee: http://www.gigwise.com/news/58915/Mark-Ronson-Terry-Wogan-To-Host-Never-Mind-The-Buzzcocks

WolfForager

Well, Google has failed me.

WolfForager

Terry Wogan maybe? I know he's defo a host this season.

Basq

Yeah, it might be Wogan.

I know Catherine Tate is hosting next week. Other rumoured hosts are Josh Groban, Tim Minchin, Robert Webb and Tim Westwood.

KeanSeenan

God, I can't stand Catherine Tate.I'd love to see David o Doherty on it again though, but English people always pronounce Doherty Dockertee.

Jerichoholic

Paul Foot was clearly the saviour of that, more of him please. Noel's been eating more.

Sir Gallagher

Gotta love Paul Foot

I couldn't stand her, but then I watched her in 'Doctor Who' for a season..

.. I have a new found respect for her. She's a cracking little actress, shame her comedy is muck!

I used to like the show years ago when Mark Lamarr hosted, but I think it's just become nasty.

Lamarr was well able to rib the guests but the whole premise now seems to be to try to humiliate rather than just take the p1ss.
Pick a guest(s)...generally the predictably easy target...and just hammer them at every opportunity, with everyone joining in. Real school yard bully stuff.

Apparently even Phil Jupitus thought it was going too far, when Simon Amstell hosted.

Ah for me Lamarr < Amstel

Yeah, i'd say it's possible.

They seem to be getting a couple of the popular guest panelists back as hosts, and he did well on his last appearance on it.

WolfForager

Anyone else watching this? Jack Dee is tearing Jedward apart :P

amacachi

Hope I didn't miss too much.

Great line from Katy Brand there, very shocking.

casio4

Where are you watching it? I have to wait until 11.25 when it's on BBC2

WolfForager

Watching it on BBC2 England.

If you're on Sky you should be able to put it on Other Channels. A quick search should tell ya how to add and use it.

casio4

I'm not on sky i'm with upc

Getting there

Just saw this too! Verrry funny!

Poor Jedward got an awful doing though, at one point the one on the left looked like he might cry. But it was all pretty warranted!

"You have a delightful and alluring naiveté but in the context of this quiz you do make Dappy look like Stephen Fry"

Jerichoholic

I couldn't enjoy the show at all because Jedward are that bad. Highly embarassing stuff, they really need to be put down.

Posy

Can't wait too see this tonight!

That's BBC2 Northern Ireland that us poor UPC people have to put up with.

DOC09UNAM

I hate them and their stupid hair so much.

df1985

there are no words.......

That_Guy

This is just amazing.

DOC09UNAM

I switched off after that comment because they annoyed me so much, I don't think i'll be following this series with the lack of simon.

Can't stand jedward but didnt like the way everybody laughed when fielding said ''they have the biggest selling record of the year...in Ireland''

wintear

Have to say as I am watching this Buzzcocks, that Jedward deserve everything they are getting.

It is a bit like watching a couple of very slow deer in Headlights and they keep wandering back onto the road.

Someone should remind him that Britain was the country that made Mr Blobby a no.1 selling artist!

RobertFoster

That was cringe inducing. Had to turn on subtitles a few times to catch what they were prattling on about.

Posy

That was brilliant! I love how Jedward were just sitting there, not really grasping what was going on, in a 'Father Dougal McGuire' kind of way.
I do agree with Starviewadams though, it did annoy me when they said that about the biggest selling record of the year.. in Ireland. Ha bloody ha.

I'd love to have seen the unedited version though- apparently Jack Dee was just tearing into them. They bring it all on themselves though, they're embarrassing to watch and just WON'T stop talking! I would need ten paracetamol if I was ever going to be in the same room as them for more than a minute.

ShaneU

is this repeated anywhere?
