Following a series of guest presenters it looks like Mark isn't coming back, instead the new host will be Simon Amstell

That's cool. I think he has the cutting humour to keep NMTB ratings up. He certainly won't do the programme any harm. It was getting abit stale with Lamarr hosting it anyway. Only good can come from this.

Big pat on the back to whoever made this decision

Agree - much better to get a permanent host in quickly than to go the route Have I Got News for You has taken!

Chalk up a point to UKGameshows.com's delectable newshound Nick Gates, who scooped this news a full three weeks ago!

I think Simon will bring a fresh new lease of life to the show as he can be cutting as Lamarr was without resorting to death threats in place of jokes.

I am not an Amstel fan. Funny though, I think I remember him actually being quite good on Buzzcocks when he presented it last series, so maybe I could hack him being there instead of Mark.
