Noel Fielding: The Mighty Brush

Boosh star pours his art out.

Noel Fielding interview

Noel Fielding talks to Metro about doing a stand-up routine dressed as Jesus when he was in college, meeting a sniffy Mel B on Never Mind the Buzzcocks and his new art book, The Scribblings Of A Madcap Shambleton.

It's been with us some 15 years now, and, in the wake of Have I Got News For You, has reached that stage of its maturity where it has guest hosts. This week it's David Hasselhoff, whose career of affectionately parodying his Hasselhoff persona has outlasted his earlier, un-ironic one. Regular team captains Phill Jupitus and Noel Fielding are on hand, joined by Pineapple Dance Studios star Louie Spence, Amelle Berrabah of Sugababes and the ever-reliable Peter Serafinowicz.

Never let it be said that David Hasselhoff can't take a joke, so prepare for some ill-advised gyrating as he takes the helm for the start of the surreal music quiz's 25th series.

Adding to a very animated atmosphere is the never-knowingly-understated Louis Spence, Sugababe Amelle Berrabah, ­Twitter's pre-eminent off-the-cuff comedian Peter Serafinowicz and singer Loick Essien.

To mark the show's silver jubilee, there have been a few face-lifts to bring the show bang up to date: there's a slick new desk, a shiny new logo and even some surprising tweaks to the final round.

What's not changed, of course, is the top notch banter between rival captains Phill Jupitus and Noel Fielding, who treat this quiz with the ­seriousness it deserves.

The music quiz returns for a 25th series with an unsafe pair of hands at the tiller: fresh from baffling the nation as a judge on Britain's Got Talent, David Hasselhoff is your host. Bracing themselves to laugh uncomfortably as the Hoff delivers jokes he doesn't get to a spot six inches to the right of the camera are regular captains Phill Jupitus and Noel Fielding.

Among tonight's guests are replacement Sugababe Amelle Berrabah, chronic jazz-hander Louie Spence and comedian Peter Serafinowicz.

Continuing their trend of rotating hosts, the music panel show is back for a staggering 25th series with cheesy David Hasselhoff taking the chair. Regular team captains Phill Jupitus and Noel Fielding return. This week's guests include Amelle Berrabah, from troubled pop trio Sugababes, cutting comedian and actor Peter Serafinowicz, and impish reality star Louie Spence, whose manic campery should guarantee maximum mayhem.

Boris Becker mistakes Noel Fielding for a woman

At Wimbledon yesterday commentator Boris Becker mistook comedian Noel Fielding for a woman.

Fiver, now rebranded to the attention-deficit-friendly 5*, has been showing highlights of Montreal's Just For Laughs festival for a few weeks now, but tonight's lineup is a cracker worth catching. Noel Fielding brings his energetic oddball surrealism to the Canadian audience. He's followed by Flight Of The Conchords, who are followed in turn by Dylan Moran. If this bill does not amuse you, then there is a strong chance you don't like the funny.
