Johnny Vegas took away the enjoyment of Buzzcocks... Another "comedian" I can't stand.
Also, what was the stuff with Phil Jupitus about?

I'm glad I didn't watch it if that tosser was on.

I like Johnny Vegas, especially in his acting like Ideal or Massive, or the tea adverts.

I wouldn't be surprised if Jupitus is not on next week's show... seemed to me like a not-so-subtle 'bye-bye'. Big shame if so :o(

Why would they ditch Jupitus? When he's gone and with Bill Bailey gone, there would really be no reason to watch it anymore. Everybody else are just pretentious wankers.

Maybe it's more a case of Jupitus wanting to move on? He's the only one left who's been there from the start.

I'm only guessing anyway, I really hope I'm wrong! But it's exactly what I said to Steve last night.

They implied the show wasn't getting enough viewers, so I thought they were staging stuff to make people keep watching. It's not the same any more :(

Rubbish!
No. Love or hate Mark Lamarr but ever since he left, it's gone downhill, really. I don't like the new guy although he has improved. Bill Bailey is missing as well, obviously.

Well, we still watch it every week, but perhaps not enough people do. Yes, it has gone downhill since Mark Lamarr left and now Bill Bailey has left too. It's becoming a parody of itself, sadly. :(

Quite. The new guy has taken it to the point where I don't consider it worth watching any more.

Who actually is he? I don't seem to be the only one who can't remember his name. ;o)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Amstell, apparently!

Lamarr was always SO scathing he was quite scary when I watched it in years gone by, but then I warmed to him and realised it was a riot. This guy never really made an impression, it was more cheeky schoolyard humour rather than anything memorable IMO.

*nods* I don't think I've ever seen him anywhere else, though.

Yeah, exactly.
IIRC, there was some sort of (off-camera) grief with Lamarr at one point which was another reason he got kicked out (or left) but he's still got a show on Radio 2.

Lamarr was scathing, but when people deserved it. Minor taking the piss out of pop starlets, but you had to act up to be truely scathed, whereas Anstell just goes off at anyone he thinks he can get a laugh for, constantly and without ceasing.

Lamarr was near as sarky at the team captains and 'proper' musicians too.

yes, it was this, they were mocking soaps that stage a huge SCARY event to get more viewers.
