Never Mind the Buzzcocks

[198x]

After watching the 'new' ********* tonight, I started to wonder what the reason was behind Mark Lemarr leaving the show?

I've searched on Google and Wikipedia and it doesn't really say much. Does anyone know of a real reason?

[Redbel]

I read in the newspaper a few months back that he had gone travelling for a year.

[andy-hughes]

I remember him saying he wanted to do other things, which may well include some time away from the media altogether.

I find Simon Anstell really creepy - face of a child, mind and mouth of an unpleasant old man. Lamarr always delivered his put-downs with a degree of charm which Anstell simply does not have - this may indeed be the last series. Shame.

[JackDanielsU]

Yep the new host is not suited for it. I thought he was easily one of the worst when he was one of the guest presenters.

Hes just reading the autocue badly, and bringing nothing new to the table

Bill Bailey and Phil Jupitus deserve better I think

[dogfish]

Is Phil Jupitus morphing into Frank Carson?

[crisgal]

i like that simon fella. I thought he was very nervous and maybe needs a bit of time to settle in.
He was really funny on that Channel 4 show, especially when he interviewed people. he never asked the same old dull questions.
It's bound to seem a bit odd without mark lamarr though.
Did Bill bailey ever have a go at hosting?

[warpig1]

I was disappointed with the presenting but hopefully this is only teathing (sp) troubles.

Lol dogfish, well spotted!

[Sooper]

I think the picking on the guests and putting them down has gone a bit too far and i found it a bit cringy at times , im sure it never used to be that bad before.
I though Clarkson was a great host when he had a go before!

[natalie_1982]

I thought Clarkson was good also, but would he be in touch enough to carry it off every week on a music quiz show? I like Simon Amstell and

I didn't find the mickey taking cringe worthy, but can't bear Anthea Turner, and thought she was just awful and although I can usually tolerate that Mystique woman last night I found the phoney hysterics quite annoying. I didn;t think the guests were up to much last night which was a shame for Simon, Bill and Phil. Fingers crossed for next week's show!

[teash]

Not watching it until that presenter gets replaced, he used to do a thing on c4 which he 'tried' to make out as if hes witty. Total pratt

[gary baldy]

If Lamarr went travelling for a year how did he mange to do his weekly radio show?
I think thats why he left NMTB - he just wanted to do other things i'm guessing, radio being one thing.

I agree with snooper - if we can't have Marl Lamarr lts have Jezza!!
