  • Never Mind The Buzzcocks is a comedy entertainment show hosted by comedian Greg Davies, with team captains Noel Fielding and Daisy May -Cooper. The return of the irreverent music quiz with also see the return of its beloved rounds – intros, the line-up and next lines but with a few new bonus rounds and a host of trivia questions and clips thrown in. The tone remains anarchic and subversive in style, shining a light on the music industry and calling it to account. The home, the originator of panel shows where comedy and music merge in wonderful dis-harmony.
