Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

screenman It's another of those 'panel-shows from hell' where famous people get to wish they weren't so famous. Originally panelled by slick, witty and sarcastic Mark Lamarr; two teams hosted by Phil Jupitus and Bill Bailey answer pop-music related questions around a loosely-based format. It is not a flattering programme. Few but their fans have much sympathy with the smug, shallow dim-witted, spoilt popsters, and Mark Lamarr ground away at their reputation and success with sphincter-puckering ruthlessness. Quite often it was just an excuse for a hatchet-job, and usually well deserved. There are questions and answers. And there's lot's to be learnt. An amazing amount of background information about the music industry in general is conveyed at tremendous speed, with gags a plenty. Informative and rather touching is a line-up of popsters past. Yesterday's forgotten heartthrobs stand geriatrically incarnate amongst a line of nameless equivalents, and panelists must identify the original. There is a contemporary film-clip of their youth to jog memories. Nobody in the line-up has their feelings spared. Throughout the programme, there are asides and sometimes lengthy digressions in which guests are made to suffer and squirm. It's definitely one of the best panel shows ever produced, the musical equivalent of 'Have I Got News For You'. When Mark Lamarr left the show I thought that would be its death knell. But no; a rather juvenile Simon Amstell took over and brought his own brand of humour to the show. If anything; it got funnier. Amstell has proved to be just as witty and sarcastic as Lamarr but less overbearing somehow; a strangely vulnerable personality makes his insinuating remarks all the more barbed. The show has gone from strength to strength. Long may the pretentious pop-icons be demolished.

Tess22 The only show to literally make me fall on the floor with laughter. I see all these complaints about an OTT laughter track, but I would swear that really is the audience reaction - it's certainly what I'm doing at home. From the early days of Mark Lamarr, Sean Hughes and Phil Jupitus, right through to the current line-up, it has remained one of the sharpest and funniest shows ever.Of course, Buzzcocks has had its share of problems. It lost its edge a little towards the end of Lamarr's reign; having done the show for 10 years he was getting bored and working on autopilot. Happily, after he left, the show got revitalised with the arrival of Simon Amstell, and bounced back with a very different but equally strong style of hosting.It's now common knowledge that Buzzcocks is pre-rehearsed, and that Sean Hughes left for frustration with this 'fake' aspect. To me this barely detracts at all. Far better to have a few pre-prepared answers than everybody floundering around in silence. Who wants the intro round ruined by performers muttering "I don't know that one"? Yes, they practice first - let it go. Furthermore, though I love Sean (and his accent), his replacement Bill Bailey is an even better team captain.Do they take things too far sometimes? It's certainly remarkable how much they get away with - countless celebrity death threats, the punishment of naive guests (amazing that only one has walked off), and of course the infamous Courtney Love joke among many other controversial moments, would be cut from most other programmes. Gentle types will wince at times, but those of us with a cruel streak truly revel in it. The trio say all the things we want to but either don't think of or don't dare to voice.Best of all, the show is for music lovers and music dunces to enjoy alike. Whether you know exactly what they're talking about, or whether you're completely at sea, Buzzcocks is always hilarious.

Greatwhitewhale2 It's one of BBC 2's longest running serieses and no doubt as it'sfunny and still is to this day.Everyone's perfect for it. You can't imagine anyone else presentingit than Mark Lamarr, Phill Jupitus is hilarous and Bill Bailey issuperb, outshining the former team captain before him, SeanHughes.The rounds certainly create great games to play at home. Guessthe intro, opening lyrics. One disapointment is when Mark Lamarr goes too far. Like givingcertain famous people death threats and making some quitemean jokes. Other than that, a verry funny show. May it continue.

hkuczala7 Mark Lamarr, Bill Bailey and Phil Jupitus are just plain hilarious. Mark Lamarr's unrestrained jokes are at times quite disturbing, but Immensely funny with it. Bill Bailey's general appearance is enough to keep me laughing. And Phil Jupitus is an extremely funny man.The four guests on the show each week, can only make the show more amusing- I do not think it is possible for a guest to slow down the fast-paced comedy or the host and his team captains.Just Brilliant.
