Another week, another round of hilarious Never Mind the Buzzcocks<\/a>\u00a0antics.<\/p>\n

The quiz show returned to our screens in September with Greg Davies in the hosting seat, and has welcomed many a high-profile guest including Little Mix star Jade Thirlwall and\u00a0Rag\u2019n\u2019Bone Man.<\/p>\n

This week, team captains Noel Fielding, the only returning member of the original Never Mind the Buzzcocks line-up, and Daisy May Cooper and regular guest\u00a0Jamali Maddix will be joined by Happy Mondays duo Shaun Ryder and Mark \u2018Bez\u2019 Berry.<\/p>\n

The pair, who are a regular staple of Celebrity Gogglebox, join Cooper\u2019s team this week \u2013 and it looks like Ryder especially will earn his spot with some surprisingly in-depth knowledge of \u201990s soaps.<\/p>

In an exclusive RadioTimes.com<\/a> preview for tonight\u2019s episode of Never Mind the Buzzcocks, it transpires Ryder is a fan of ITV\u2019s series Heartbeat.<\/p>\n

For the uninitiated, the drama ran for 18 seasons from 1992 to 2008 and covered the lives of the residents of Aidensfield, a fictional village set in North Yorkshire.<\/p>\n

When Davies asks which of the following stars \u2013 \u201cpreviously pudgy pop prince Gary Barlow\u201d, \u201cmysterious Christian Cliff Richards\u201d or \u201crasping Welsh fog horn Bonnie Tyler\u201d \u2013 appeared in an episode of Heartbeat, Ryder has no trouble answering.<\/p>\n

\u201cI watch the episodes and I know all the drama behind it and everything else, yeah,\u201d he revealed.<\/p>\n

See for yourself in the clip below, though be warned as the footage contains some very strong language.<\/p>\n
