I noticed the front page of BCG on Monday said there hadn't been much comment on Rhod's appointment as host, so I thought I'd rectify that. In short, he's been great. Less cynical than Mark Lamarr and Simon Amstell (but only slightly), he's really injected a sense of fun back into proceedings. The episode where he improvised an entire lineup as the original guy had pulled out was superb, and really showed his talent as a comic.
A couple of years ago, Buzzcocks really was a dead show walking - the guest presenters went on a series too long at least - and whilst it still isn't perfect, it's certainly the best it's been in a while. Phill Jupitus really needs moving on though - I really like him as a comic and on other things, but he's either getting a brutal edit, or he's barely said anything all series and just taking the paycheck (honestly I think this has been an issue with the show for a while).
