Never Mind The Buzzcocks returns to Sky for a fourth series with themed specials and new guest team captainsThursday 18 July 2024
Much-loved comedy quiz show, Never Mind the Buzzcocks, is set to return to Sky Max and NOW for a fourth series later this year. Produced by Talkback, a Fremantle label, the music-themed quiz will see actor and comedian Greg Davies back at the helm as host with returning team captain, Noel Fielding and regular panelist, Jamali Maddix.
Multi award-winning comedian, actor and writer, Sophie Willan, will sit in as opposing team captain for a handful of shows, with Daisy May Cooper returning for the Christmas Special.
The other episodes will consist of four themed special shows as Buzzcocks Does the Nineties, Noughties, Rock and Girl & Boy Bands' with very special musical guest Team Captains for each of the four episodes.
Era-defining girl power icon Mel B will bring the Scary and add the Spice for the Nineties episode. The cultural icon and frontwoman of The Gossip, noughties hit maker Beth Ditto, will join for Buzzcocks Does the Noughties . The one and only Goddess of Grunge, Courtney Love, will be in the hot seat for the episode celebrating all things Rock, and Perrie will join for Buzzcocks Does Girl & Boy Bands.
With its usual characteristics of chaos and commotion, the new series will see the teams butcher beloved songs in the intros round and reminisce about the things they can - and can't! - remember from the past. Expect surprise guests and nostalgia-infused games celebrating the Buzzcocks we all know and love, with a sprinkle of something extra special with the themed episodes.
Since making its new home at Sky, the renowned series has seen big name guests joining the panel including Little Mix's Jade Thirwall, Shaggy, Pete Doherty, Ellie Goulding, Suggs and Hannah Waddingham.
Of the new series, host Greg Davies said: I am genuinely thrilled to be returning to the mayhem of Buzzcocks but realistically who reads these press quotes and why? Watch the show please and in-between episodes get out into the air, talk to your partner, read to your children. Live, for gods sake live.
Director of Sky Arts and Entertainment for Sky, Phil Edgar-Jones said: It's the starriest line-up you could hope for this year on Buzzcocks with something to satisfy every musical taste from the 90s through the noughties via boy and girl bands right to the present day. Throw in a healthy dose of unpredictability and mad comedy and you'd got the perfect fourth album.
Never Mind the Buzzcocks is produced by Talkback (a Fremantle label) and Executive Produced by Director of Programmes, Kate Edmunds, MD, Jonno Richards and Jordan Read. The series was commissioned by Zai Bennett, Managing Director of Content at Sky and Phil Edgar Jones, Director of Sky Arts and Entertainment at Sky. Shirley Jones is the Commissioning Editor.
Fremantle has international production and distribution rights to the Never Mind the Buzzcocks format.
