‘Never Mind the Buzzcocks’: Sky Releases First Clip & Sept Premiere For Revived Music Comedy Quiz
Sky has released a “first look” clip of revived music-comedy quiz show ‘Never Mind the Buzzcocks‘, which is set to return this September on Sky Max. The clip should be very familiar to fans of the show as it re-introduces “The Intro’s round!”
The renowned music-themed comedy show will return to our screens as an 8-episode series, plus a one-off Christmas special, with brand new host Greg Davies (‘Taskmaster’, ‘Man Down’). Returning to the show, Noel Fielding (‘The Mighty Boosh’, ‘The Great British Bake Off’) will be a team captain opposite Daisy May Cooper (‘This Country’), with Jamali Maddix (‘Hate Thy Neighbour’) featuring as a regular guest. Each week they will be joined by a roster of top music and comedy stars to compete against each other. Viewers can expect the unpredictability of the original series, with some of the best known and loved rounds remaining, alongside some new surprises thrown in along the way.
The exclusive sneak peek (below) reveals that the much-loved “Intros” round will be making a comeback to the new series. The line-up of guests featured in the clip includes Little Mix’s Jade Thirwall, music artist Anne Marie, and comedian Nish Kumar – just a selection of some of the guests that appear on the upcoming series.
‘Never Mind the Buzzcocks’ 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. The series is produced by Talkback (a Fremantle label) and Executive Produced by Kate Edmunds and Jonno Richards, Managing Director of Talkback. The Series Producer is Jordan Read. Fremantle holds the global format rights.
‘Never Mind the Buzzcocks‘ is set to premiere this September (day/time TBC) on Sky Max, the new channel (which is basically a direct replacement for Sky One), that launches on 1st September 2021.
