True fact: I used to watch Popworld on Channel 4 every Saturday morning. It was one of the very few television programmes I watch it religiously. Why? This man on the right, Simon Amstell.Simon Amstell's "thing" is to poke fun at celebrities, specifically those in the music business - therefore, Popworld was the perfect show for him, with A/B-list celebs dropping in for an interview each week.
While most music programmes treat their guests like gods, Simon Amstell and Miquita Oliver were brave enough to tease the Kooks' frontman about his ex, Katie Melua, and to make Britney Spears walk out of an interview.
They left the show almost a year ago (to be replaced by the inferior Alexes). Thankfully the BBC noticed his genius and signed him up for Never Mind The Buzzcocks, which has replaced Popworld on my short list of must-watch programmes.
Ps. Don't believe me? Check out Simon Amstell at the 2005 Brit Awards.
