    If I was the head of the BBC I'd have paid Simon Amstell his weight in gold (better make it double as I doubt he weighs that much) to host NMTB - the show was never better than with him as host.

      Lamarr is the king of Buzzcocks. He was savage towards guests, suffered no fools and still managed to stay on good terms with them.
      Amstell was savage but he burned a lot of bridges and scared guests away which only killed the show faster.

    I worked on Buzzcocks for 2 years, not a glamorous job, mostly running around grabbing stuff and moving it somewhere else or getting drinks. But Simon Amstel was annoying as hell to work with. He wasn't funny, he got frustrated when other people didn't find him funny or were naturally funnier than he was and the only tool he had in return was sarcasm, but not in the Mark Lamarr way, more childish. ALL of what you saw on screen was scripted and came off the autocue which he was terrible at reading. He usually had to read every joke 2-3 times and by the time they got a recording right the audience had heard the joke so many times there was no laughter. That was especially bad when after 3 hours of filming an episode (that's how long it takes to get a 29 minute show) they then reviewed the material and realised they had to go back and rececord bits, it took so long and everyone had to pretend it was the first time they'd heard the joke for reaction shots etc
