This is British comedy that parades as a game show. However, NEVER MIND THE BUZZCOCKS is more of a talk show, where the panellists' main objectives are humiliation and props. You could say it's the rich-man's SPICKS 'N' SPECKS. It's hosted by the hilariously quick-witted Simon Amstel, a man so funny that he once gave a guest a hernia.
Earlier seasons of the show saw BLACK BOOKS weirdo and stand up comedian Bill Bailey as team captain. Guests on the program have included Noel Fielding, Moby, Light Speed Champion and other British celebs. Our favourite is season 20. Check it out on YouTube, buy a copy on eBay, or watch it in Britain on TV for free.

TwoThousand is a subcultural guide to Sydney, published daily and fired by email weekly. It is compiled by an amorphous gaggle of Sydney writers, stylists, designers and photographers who all like huddling under that big umbrella we like to call creativity. Without editorial independence TwoThousand has nothing. All editorial you read is featured because it's worth it - not because it's paid for.
