BBC cancels Never Mind the Buzzcocks after almost two decades on the air

The BBC have decided to cancel pop quiz Never Mind The Buzzcocks after almost two decades on the air.

The show has been presented by Rhod Gilbert, Simon Amstell and Mark Lamarr and has been on the air since 1996.

A BBC spokeswoman said: “After 28 series we’ve decided not to bring Never Mind the Buzzcocks back to the BBC. This will create space for new entertainment formats in the future. We’d like to thank the team at Talkback, Rhod Gilbert, all the brilliant hosts over the years and of course Noel and Phill for the years of enjoyment they’ve given BBC Two viewers.”
