Buzzcocks is brilliant, when they replaced Lamarr with Amstell I thought it would be terrible, but if anything I think he's better.
My list would be:
Mock The Week
Never Mind The Buzzcocks
QI
Would I Lie To You
8 Out of 10 Cats
Have I Got News For You
I love them all, but for me HIGNFY is getting a bit old now. I wasn't overly fond of the last series to be honest. Paul Merton is still ridiculously good though, one of the quickest witted comedians around certainly.
8 Out of 10 cats is alright, I went to see a recording of it this series (the episode with Kelly Osbourne and Theo Paphitis) and I think it really loses some potential by having non-comedians on (such as the ones mentioned above). Theo died on his arse monumentously. Jimmy Carr, Jason Manford and Sean Lock are really good though.
Frankie Boyle, Hugh Dennis and Russell Howard make me laugh my tits off most weeks on Mock The Week, and the gratuitous love affair between Stephen Fry and Alan Davies that is just waiting to be exposed makes me love QI too.
