Michael MacLennan Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 Yeah, I heard that a while ago. I think it's good news, because I never really liked Lamarr, at the best of times it was pretty tired humour aimed at easy targets (I know you could blame the script-writers, but he had no comic timing, it was far better when he was the butt of jokes in Shooting Stars). I only saw Huey presenting in the latest series and he was ace, but Simon Amstell seems like an obvious choice for such a role... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teabags Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 saw his episode was pretty good. so thats no too bad like.still, Lamarr was god. I really did love him, especially the show when Pete Burns was on, and the one the week after it as well when he kept having flashbacks of Pete Burns.fucking ace.

TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 I like Amstell when he was on Popworld, not too sure if he's got the musical fanboydom that might be required, like what Dave said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest She-Wolf Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 Yeah Thurisaz, the Pete Burns one was my favourite. Id love to see it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Frieda Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 Hahaha, that Pete Burns one was amazing!I think Simon will be good. My mam loves him. Hopefully we can start watching that at night with tea and toast, like we did with WWF in its heyday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DustyDeviada Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 Didn't realise Lemarr had left Buzzcocks, might start watching it again. Is Jupitus still there?Thought the boy Amstell was pretty funny on Popworld. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swingin' Ryan Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 I think Simon Amstell is a great choice, the general style of humour of Buzzcocks is quite similar to what he did on Popworld and his guest slot was brilliant. Jeremy Clarkson's appearance was the best though, when he put his foot up on the desk and lit a fag it was a life-affirming moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scootray Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 Simon Amstell?For fucks sake. That boy thought he was the bee knees on Popworld. Knob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Gold Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 I saw him do an episode which basically consisted of him ripping the piss out of Vanessa Feltz. Not the hardest of targets. Bill Bailey seems to be doing next to nothing on this series n all.And Amstell's got a weird smirk-smile thing going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
framheim Posted November 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 i'm really enjoying it, i think amstell's doing just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delboy Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 amstell is woeful, i think the programme has run its natural course now always felt bailey was a poor substitute for sean hughes an all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marillionboy Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 How this show is still running is beyond me. For my sins I used to work on it in the Lamarr days and it was a thoroughly depressing experience. Lamarr was usually coked up to the eyeballs and slagged off the audience way beyond what was funny, he constantly went on about how shit the show was and called the audience he kept waiting "minimum wagers who wished they were famous like him." Buzzcocks was a Britpop show, and is long long dead, game shows have moved on from that 90s ripping the piss out of everyone thing, and the current trend is stuff like QI. Having said that, I have never liked AMstell but think he is a much better and more likeable host, but the show is hopeless. Jupitus is money for old rope and Bill Bailey is almost as lazy as Sean Hughes who most weeks did nothing except be Irish. (Three weeks running he said absolutely zilch that made it to the final edit.) Last night's didn't have a single funny line in it.Anyway, that's that rant over...

Camie Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 I'm not a fan of the show but I do agree that Amstell has done a great job so far upon watching the last few episodes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripey Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 amstell is an irritating turd and has ruined the show completely. At least mark lamarr could pull off the writing with some sincerity, and without obviously reading off an autocue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirth Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 I saw him do an episode which basically consisted of him ripping the piss out of Vanessa Feltz. Not the hardest of targets. Bill Bailey seems to be doing next to nothing on this series n all.And Amstell's got a weird smirk-smile thing going on.Yeah I saw that one, I thought she was gonna get up and lamp him. Last nights one wasn't too bad but I way preferred Mark Lamarr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 I nver saw last night's episode, but I think Amstell has been doing an alright job so far. I was beginning to tire of some of Lamarr's jokes, so it has been a welcome change.Not enough Bill Bailey for my liking though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bluesxman Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 I only saw the first Amstell programme, thought he was quite good. Lamarr's patter grew old a long, long time ago. Endless repeats of old programmes on satellite channels alongside newer programmes exposed this quite well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest onlynik Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 Can't watch it anymore, Amstell is just a cock, just a smarmy little prick that just annoys me in ways I cannot describe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delboy Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 i have to admit amy winehouse was good value on the show the other week but generally its poor these days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
