The sad news that cult music show Never Mind The Buzzcocks had been cancelled after 18 hilarious and often awkward years came this week and we must say we greeted it with equal amounts of sadness and laughter.

Sadness because the show was one of the funniest and sharpest pieces of UK comedy to come along in generations, at once skewering and celebrating out favourite topic, music, and inspiring other similar shows, such as our own Spicks and Specks.

But laughter because we just couldn’t help remembering some of the great television moments that the show gave us over the years. Here we’ve collected 12 of our favourite for old-school fans to reminisce over or for newcomers to get themselves acquainted with the show.
