Blur's Alex James will narrate a Never Mind the Buzzcocks spin-off show on BBC 2 called, What a Load of Buzzcocks. The new show will air in late spring and will look back at 16 years of pop history by revisiting key episodes and clips from the original Buzzcocks show.
James said, "I've always been a big fan of the show and I'm looking forward to seeing some of the highlights from the past 17 years."
The show's executive producer Dan Baldwin added, "What a Load of Buzzcocks' comedy narrative will provide the perfect retrospective look at our ever changing world through the eyes of Britain's funniest music quiz."
What a Load of Buzzcocks has been commissioned as an eight-episode series set to launch later this year.
