British Comedy Guide, 10th September 2020How Never Mind the Buzzcocks went out of tune
Over 28 series, the panel show's anarchic spirit gave way to punching down and diminishing returns.
Danny Wright, The Guardian, 24th February 2020Sean Hughes's greatest TV moments
The Irish comedian was best known for deconstructing the sitcom with Sean's Show. But he should also be remembered for his stint as an unqualified medic - and for bringing us Finbar the Mighty Shark.
Stuart Heritage, The Guardian, 16th October 2017Joke's over: how the TV panel show fell from grace
In their day, there was something intoxicating about the no-holds-barred panel show back-and-forth. But there seems to be little room for it in a society that has begun to appreciate empathy - and neither, conversely, in a more brutal political climate that is not particularly suitable for dissecting for cheap laughs. Perhaps, when the world lightens up again, they'll be back.

Becca Moody, Moody Comedy, 30th May 2015It's time to pull the plug on Bloke TV
After 19 years, 28 series, 255 episodes, dozens of specials and the usual suspects thrashing around in a pile of freshly milked bile each week, the BBC has finally, finally, finally pulled the plug on Never Mind The Buzzcocks. Hurrah for that. As far as many of us are concerned, the demise of this spiteful, puerile, sexist panel show cannot come a moment too soon.

But to be honest, it's probably for the best.
