Adam Buxton's favourite TV
The presenter and comedian on his love of I'm A Celebrity and why watching Gogglebox makes him weepy.
Rachel Aroesti, The Guardian, 15th December 2014Radio Times review
At last, Buzzcocks has a permanent host. For too long we've been adrift on a choppy sea of guest hosts where for every swell like Terry Wogan or Adam Buxton who could make the show their own, there have been troughs of forgettable faces.
One of the more memorable is voluble Welsh comic Rhod Gilbert, who finally takes on the mantle of hosting duties left by Mark Lamarr and Simon Amstell. He's not as acerbic or waspish as either of those two, so expect more surreal anarchy than vicious putdowns. Guests Professor Green, Roisin Conaty, Gabby Logan and the 1975's Matt Healy will do their best to keep up.
David Crawford, Radio Times, 29th September 2014Radio Times review
When Would I Lie to You? takes off, there's nothing like it. You get to a point where everyone in the studio is having such a high old time ribbing each other, they've almost forgotten they're on a panel show - and there are a few of those in this cracker of a show.
Bruno Tonioli is trying to convince us (and David Mitchell) that he once caused a fire while making pasta for Bananarama, whereupon Rob Brydon runs with it and does an impression of Bruno choreographing Bananarama that stops the show for a while. Then when Bruno tries to mock Mitchell's long-winded style, the comeback is pure joy.
Elsewhere, Adam Buxton maintains he has arguments with his partner via Skype and Kirsty Wark recalls a tiff with Jeremy Paxman over his Snoopy mug.

Andrew Dipper, Giggle Beats, 26th May 2014Talking dirty in front of Mum and Dad
A new series of columns in which comedians discuss their comedy and the relationship with their parents. Includes articles form Adam Buxton, Nina Conti, Meera Syal and Jack Whitehall.
Simon Hattenstone and Hadley Freeman, The Guardian, 14th December 2013Agreeable standup and Fresh Meat star Jack Whitehall moves the Edinburgh fringe chat show he did with his dad (a former theatrical agent) to BBC Three. It's Adam Buxton and Bad Dad for the under-30s. And their first two guests are quite the mixed bag. Disdainful Newsnight prober Jeremy Paxman lines up next to right-barrel-o-monkeys paranormal investigator and actor Danny Dyer. No previews available, sadly, but Paxman with his tie off is always good fun.

Adam Buxton's latest show shines a light on internet comment threads, but his own material never quite hits the same bizarre heights
