Noel Fielding says: "When Bill asked me to cover for him as team captain on Buzzcocks I was delighted to be his first choice. Only after I agreed to do it did I realise that I was actually 104th on the list behind Andrew, his long-eared rabbit. Although, to be fair, Andrew is on fire at the moment."

Celebrity guests from the worlds of entertainment and music will join the team captains as host Amstell navigates them through a number of musically-based quiz rounds.

With the show's reputation for the unpredictable, guests each week are always primed for the occasional embarrassment and harmless ribbing, as their knowledge of music is put to the test.
