Back on Buzzcocks

Dec 12, 2007 11:57

A quick message to reassure anyone who tuned into Never Mind the Buzzcocks over the last few weeks to find an unexpected figure in Bill's chair. It was not, as some of you may have thought, a newly regenerated Bill (or "Second Bill" for all you Doctor Who fans), but was actually comedian and 'Mighty Boosh' creator Noel Fielding standing in for Bill ( Read more... )

Noel is a complete nutter.

They were editing 'Mighty Boosh' in our editing offices about two years ago.. and I gotta tell you, Noel really does dress like that. On one day he turned up like a crazy cowboy from space, sporting union jack t-shirt, cowboy boots, and a large white sparkly cowboy hat.

Haven't seen him on the show. Is he funny? :3 (Buzzcocks, that is :D)

I'm a bit fond of Noel as well, so I continued watching Buzzcocks while Bill was away without an immense amount of despair. He did pretty good, the second episode (that he was on) was kind of weak, but the first was good and I really enjoyed the third.

Ah, thank you for that!
Gosh, it has changed, hasn't it? I always enjoyed Lamarr's depressive evildom and deranged yelling... 'Chris die...DIE DIE DIE...DIEDIE..oh is he gone?... DIE de Burgh' It's all sparkles and flowers now. :3
Noel is kinda sweet.

Ahh, you haven't seen the Amstell era Buzzcocks? (I ♥ UKNova and YouTube for helping me survive between DVD releases) It's definitely changed the tone of the show, though I still enjoy it a lot even though I did kind of prefer Mark.

If you haven't, you must watch this episode. Bill + Noel = ♥♥♥
