BBC Two pop quiz Never Mind The Buzzcocks has been axed by the corporation after almost two decades on our screens.

The irreverent show has been hosted by Rhod Gilbert, Simon Amstell and Mark Lamarr and regularly featured Phill Jupitus, Sean Hughes, Bill Bailey and Noel Fielding as team captains.

A BBC spokeswoman said: “After 28 series we’ve decided not to bring Never Mind the Buzzcocks back to the BBC. This will create space for new entertainment formats in the future.”

The spokeswoman added: “We’d like to thank the team at Talkback, Rhod Gilbert, all the brilliant hosts over the years and of course Noel and Phill for the years of enjoyment they’ve given BBC Two viewers.”

WEST End star Alfie Boe will have to be pitch perfect on Saturday when he sings the national anthem and Abide With Me ahead of the FA Cup Final at Wembley.

The singer, who played Jean Valjean in Les Miserables, said: “I can’t wait to perform at the FA Cup Final.

“I know the atmosphere will be electric and I know that the excitement of the game transfers to each household and venue around the world.”

His performance of Abide With Me will see him join the BBC Songs of Praise FA Cup Fans Choir – made up of 64 supporters – accompanied by The Band of the Brigade of Gurkhas.
