Page "Never Mind the Buzzcocks" Paragraph 3

At the end of 2005, it was announced that Mark Lamarr was to take a break from the show after 150 episodes, to concentrate on other projects.

The series that aired in early 2006 was hosted by guest presenters, before being permanently handed over to Simon Amstell, who had appeared twice as a panellist ( series 13, episode 8 and series 16, episode 11 ), and once as a guest presenter ( series 18, episode 2 ).

The first time Amstell appeared as a panellist under Lamarr's tenure, coincidentally, Lamarr jokingly accused him of " stealing his act ".
