Revision as of 22:25, 16 August 2011
This is a list of episodes from the satirical music-based panel game Never Mind the Buzzcocks. As of 30 December 2010, 227 episodes have been aired across 24 series.
The show was originally chaired by Mark Lamarr, with team captains Phill Jupitus and Sean Hughes with two guests on each team. Bill Bailey replaced Hughes from series 11. Lamarr left after Series 17 and Series 18 was chaired by a series of guest hosts. One of these, satirical Popworld presenter Simon Amstell, took over as presenter from Series 19.
During series 21, Bill Bailey was unable to attend filming and so Noel Fielding provided cover for three episodes. Bailey left permanently after this series and was replaced by guest captains until Fielding returned full-time in series 23. Amstell also left after series 22 and the show has been chaired by guest hosts ever since.
Guests are listed from the hosts' far right to far left.

Notes
- ^ a b c d e f g h Christmas Special
- ^ This episode started and ended with Identity Parade starring man Athelston Williams in Mark's chair.
- ^ The first time more than the regulatory three people were on one team.
- ^ Appeared shortly after his dismissal from Popstars.
- ^ a b Finally, the Popstars band reached Number 1!
- ^ Eurovision Song Contest special. Also Sean Hughes' last ever show.
- ^ 100th Episode Special. Contains specially filmed inserts with Mark, Phill, Bill and Richard Fairbrass.
- ^ This makes John Otway the first Identity Parade line-up member to become a panellist on the show — Otway appeared in the lineup in 2000.
- ^ This episode marks the first time members of the same band, let alone members of the same family, appeared on one team.
- ^ Appeared in the Identity Parade in Season 1.
- ^ Of whom Lamarr said, "Me an' my boy!"
- ^ 150th Episode Special and also Mark Lamarr's final episode
- ^ Phill very nearly (deliberately) scored a perfect zero – but Ricky gave him a point at the very last opportunity
- ^ Achieved a last-minute victory without Phill, who departed partway through Next Lines
- ^ Ed Seymour, a hand-picked "lookalike" from the audience, replaced Preston for the remainder of the show after he walked out due to Amstell making references to his rise to fame in Celebrity Big Brother and reading extracts from his then wife's (Chantelle Houghton) biography.
- ^ For the second, third and fourth episodes of Series 21, Noel Fielding covered Bill's captain spot
- ^ Noel's first episode as Guest Captain.
- ^ Dappy apparently replaced Lee Ryan who dropped out at the last second.
- ^ Noel's final appearance as Guest Captain.
- ^ This episode also featured frequent appearances from singer Andy Scott-Lee (formerly of boy band 3SL), who performed the Intros round (when teams played their 'Andy Scott-Lee card'), appeared in an Identity Parade line-up and had his new single heavily promoted by Amstell.
- ^ As part of a jibe on the fickle nature and inflated importance of the NME Cool List, a fictitious indie artist named 'Flipchart Hiatus' was initially introduced as Bill Bailey's second guest. Amstell then announced that Flipchart Hiatus had slipped too many places on the Cool List and so had to be replaced. Crew members then rushed on to lift Flipchart Hiatus from his seat and replace him with Hynes.
- ^ For this series, guest captains replaced Bill Bailey who left to pursue other interests after six years.
- ^ In honour of guest captain Stephen Fry, this episode had various QI-themed jokes including giving Stephen a customized buzzer, intellectual conversations over interesting facts, and ending the show with the QI theme tune.
- ^ Due to the scandal where Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand made prank phonecalls to Andrew Sachs on Russell's BBC Radio 2 show, the BBC decided to suspend the two comedians and pull all their shows pending further investigation. Even though this episode of Buzzcocks was taped before the suspension and was due to air on 30 October 2008, it was pulled as well. The episode was eventually first broadcast on 19 January 2011.
- ^ In this episode, Simon dressed in a bunny costume to make the show more "family friendly" and keep his job at the BBC, mocking how the BBC had reacted to the Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross scandal.
- ^ From this episode, the show moved to Wednesday nights
- ^ Doctor Who special
- ^ During the Identity Parade, Noel swapped teams with Phill for the rest of the show in order to give him the "Jedward experience". However, host Jack Dee still credited the victory to "Noel's old team."
- ^ Temporarily swapped places with Identity Parade member Pat Sharp, who was made team captain for rest of the round.
- ^ A running gag in the episode was that David O'Doherty was filling in for Shakira who could not make it to filming.
- ^ The episode started with Marvin Humes from JLS on Phill's team whilst the other members of the band sat on a "sub bench" to the side. Throughout the episode, whenever Tim Westwood set off an alarm, JLS had to substitute another member onto the panel. The entire band performed with Phill in the Intros round.
- ^ During the Intros round, Pat Sharp joined Noel's team to make up for all of JLS joining up on Phill's team.
