Press

First night: Never Mind the Buzzcocks

Last night kicked off with super-producer Mark Ronson in the hot seat. He was a perfectly good guest on the last series as I recall, so my hopes were high.

He clearly took the responsibility seriously but this seemed to hamper his performance if anything. By his own admission, he was incredibly nervous and that's hardly surprising given the number of references to the absent Bailey - one of which culminated in an Amstell-Jupitus dance routine that's burned on to my retina, despite the fact I was watching through my fingers.
