Never Mind The Buzzcocks is a long running game show which is in part a panel show. There are two teams each with a resident captain and every week those captains are joined by two guests each. There have been numerous resident hosts of the show of which Simon Amstell is the most memorable - a comedian I have a love / hate relationship with. There have also been stints where there is no resident host and each week a guest host filled the spot.
I was in two minds as to whether this show should be in my top 30 game shows for one reason, for the most part this show is known to be scripted. That's not to say there is no ad-libbing at all, there are genuine moments of comedy so in all I think it managed to redeem itself through the fact that not everything goes to plan.
The clip below is of one of Amstell's episodes in which one of the guests infamously walked out - and yes, it was not planned and yes they did let the audience member stay for the rest of the show.
