Never mind the Buzzcocks

  Mark Lamarr was fantastic, amazingly dry and it meant that Amstell had to carry some of that on and that isn't really his style. Rhod Gilbert is an ideal comparison to Lamarr, who I still see as the best host on that show, as he has the style of comedy and dry wit to carry it off.

  I think both Lamarr and Amstell were good hosts (as is Rhod), they had similar humour but it was fairly natural to both of them. One thing I would say about Lamarr is at times he did seem to find himself too funny (came off a bit smug at times), overall I liked him though.

  Just had a look at Lamarr on the ever reliable (yeah right) Wikipedia. It sounds like Buzzcocks was the only TV job that he actually enjoyed and there was talk about him coming back. Had it not been Rhod Gilbert and he had come back then it would either have been fantastic or it would have been difficult because people would have been comparing his first run and this one.

  Yeah I don't think it would have worked a former host coming back, better to let their hosting run be what it was and move on.
  I'd be interested to see how Simon Amstell or Mark Lamarr would be as a guest, would make for an interesting episode actually with two of the guests being former hosts.

  Getting Simon And Mark on as guests. Thats a great idea. They should definatly have Bill Bailey back as well on the same show. Wondering who could be the 4th and final guest on that particular episode. Did anyone see this weeks episode. Another good one. That John Cooper Clarke was pretty damn funny.

  I doubt they would actually be able to get Lamarr or Amstell back as a guest though, Lamarr doesn't seem to do much of anything as far as tv goes now and Amstell is fairly quiet as well (he was in that grandmas house thing but other than that).
  Though an episode with those 2 and Bill bailey as well would undoubtedly by very funny, despite being very unlikely.

  Am still loving the new series. The scene with the bucket of dust or sand..classic. Also the Identity parade (despite the order of the show being screwed up), i wanna get freaky with you lol. Taking the mick out of Lisa Stansfield about the farting. Brilliant.

  Well, it only seems like two seconds ago the new season started but i believe tonights episode is the last of the current series (not including the inevitable best bits episode). Being the christmas special, they are usually dependable. All in all its been a good series and in my opinion, Rhod Gilbert has done a great job.

  Yeah he's been a fantastic host, this season has been a huge improvement

  Except for the usual best bits show, thats Rhod's first series finished. I kinda hope he returns for the next. Only critiscism is when introducing the first round each week, where he breaks up the intro to the round using his own voice. Thats a bit cringeworthy. Its only a minor gripe. The christmas episode was really good with all of them dressed up. as it me of did Rhod seem a bit pissed , especially towards the end of the episode lol.
