Noel a Buzzy man
While a new series of The Mighty Boosh seems a dim and distant prospect, Noel Fielding has landed another plum TV job.
The Clown Prince will be a team captain on the next series of pop quiz Never Mind The Buzzcocks.
The Sun, 7th August 2009Former Ordinary Boys singer Preston says he wishes he hadn't walked out of BBC TV pop quiz 'Never Mind The Buzzcocks' in 2007.
The singer notoriously quit the show midway through filming, after host Simon Amstell repeatedly ridiculed his then-wife Chantelle Houghton's personal life and recently-published autobiography.
NME, 7th August 2009How to put the buzz back in Buzzcocks
There's an obvious way to fix BBC's floundering pop quiz, Never Mind the Buzzcocks. And her name is Josie Long.

Celine Bijleveld, The Guardian, 12th December 2008Skinner and Dee - funny men at work
Dee did his bewildered, world-weary thing perfect well, although it could have been genuine - and frankly was not unreasonable given his team mates. The combination of the comedian, pop singer Stine B and TV presenter Anna Richardson was not a comfortable one. At one point, Richardson said she felt like Dee was her dad at a wedding. Yes, I imagine he did too.
Overall, Skinner took a workmanlike approach to the show. He proved to be a decent captain and, most importantly, helped turn the show into more of an ensemble piece - something that's been lacking since Bill Bailey's departure. Let's hope whoever gets the gig has that skill in spades.

With the loss of Bill Bailey this once-reliable panel show has suffered an apparently terminal crisis of confidence.
James Wignall, The Guardian, 7th November 2008Tidy performance from James Corden
Last night it was Gavin and Stacey star James Corden. And at the risk of sticking my neck out, the pop quiz may have found the perfect team captain.

He was immediately on form - by which I mean funny, not ridiculous. And it wasn't long before he was over-sharing in his trademark, slightly uncomfortable way.
