At the end of 2005, it was announced that Mark Lamarr was to take a break from the show after 150 episodes, to concentrate on other projects. The series that aired in spring 2006 was hosted by guest presenters, before being permanently handed over to Amstell, who had appeared twice as a panellist ([[List of Never Mind the Buzzcocks episodes#Series 13|series 13, episode 8]] and [[List of Never Mind the Buzzcocks episodes#Series 16|Series 16, Episode 11]]), and once as a guest presenter ([[List of Never Mind the Buzzcocks episodes#Series 18|series 18, episode 2]]). The first time Amstell appeared as a panellist under Lamarr's tenure, Lamarr jokingly accused him of "stealing his act".
