Book extract: Daisy May Cooper on creating This Country
'We cleaned by night and wrote by day'.
Daisy May Cooper, The Guardian, 16th October 2021I still can't get over the fact that Noel Fielding - such a brazen goth! - presents Bake Off. Last week he also returned as one of the team captains on Sky's fresh spin on the long-running music quizshow Never Mind The Buzzcocks, alongside new host Greg Davies, new team captain Daisy May Cooper (This Country) and regular contestant Jamali Maddix. The guests were Jade Thirlwall (ex-Little Mix), singer Anne-Marie and Mash Report comedian Nish Kumar.
If you want to feel old, watch a music panel show where no one recognises Buck's Fizz in the lineup section. Elsewhere, it was entertaining: Cooper, in particular, channelled her own rock star to the point where she started reminding you of everyone you've ever seen stealing other people's drinks in a backstage area. If I have one criticism, it's that the music content is now almost jarringly mainstream. With previous Buzzcocks personnel, you got the impression that they knew and cared enough about music to descend, if necessary, into an unseemly row about Fall lyrics. Comedy is crucial, but don't (completely) forget the music.

It's back? I'd barely noticed it had gone.
James Jackson, The Times, 22nd September 2021Review: Never Mind The Buzzcocks, Sky Max
They said it couldn't and maybe shouldn't be done. They did it and it worked. Welcome back.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 22nd September 2021Never Mind The Buzzcocks review
The music quiz is back from rehab, cleaned up and on Sky. Girls are finally allowed, too - though with a show this confused, they might regret smashing this glass ceiling.

Times have changed - this reinvention proves it's cool to be kind.
