The BBC have confirmed today details of 'Playlisters', a new music quiz show for Saturday evenings on BBC One to start next year. Rochelle Humes, from Buzzjack favourites The Saturdays, and her JLS turned Capital DJ hubby Marvin Humes are the hosts.



https://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/latestnews/2018/playlisters

This sounds like a quite fun show actually! I love Rochelle and Marvin anyway so they sound like a good fit for this. I'm imagining this will be on the early Saturday evening slot that Pointless Celebrities usually occupies, given 'The Greatest Dancer' starts in January in the slot where 'Strictly' usually is.

Posted by: ThePensmith 9th May 2019, 03:55 PM

The show's now gonna be called 'The Hit List' and has been confirmed for a start date of Saturday, 25th May for a six week run on BBC One at 7:30pm: https://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/proginfo/2019/22/the-hit-list

Reading the setup for the rounds for this, I would so smash a show like this - I'm sure a few Buzzjackers would too!

Posted by: lewistgreen 9th May 2019, 07:46 PM

Oh this sounds great! Can’t wait to see it

Posted by: Botchia 9th May 2019, 08:42 PM

This show feels so Buzzjack lmao

Posted by: lewistgreen 9th May 2019, 09:30 PM

Hopefully it gets a second series and we can put a Buzzjack team together to go on *.*

This would be incredible

I'm in if you want me. I'm virtually unbeatable on the 70's and good on the 60's and 80's too but would be let down by the newer stuff but you younger ones could do those. Used to go to pub pop quizzes when I lived up North but got banned from nearly all of them for winning every week.

Posted by: hermespice 12th May 2019, 03:55 PM

I will definitely be watching this. I miss “Never mind the buzzcocks” 😂

Posted by: gavindeejay 12th May 2019, 04:55 PM

Sounds good. Just wish they could of found better presenters tbh!

Posted by: Mack. 14th May 2019, 10:40 PM

Surely be better than BBC's other game show attempts on a Saturday night in the last few years. Who Dares Win has been the most successful one, I would say. Don't mention Len's Rhyming Game Show or whatever it was called.

Posted by: lewistgreen 25th May 2019, 08:39 PM

An ok start, it was fun but it did feel a little slow. Way too much chat and not enough music in my opinion.

Posted by: Mack. 25th May 2019, 08:50 PM

The first round was a lot slower to the other rounds.

Posted by: gavindeejay 25th May 2019, 08:52 PM

Is it worth catching up on?

Posted by: Mart!n 25th May 2019, 09:36 PM

The show is 45 mins long, but it does takes its time for the quiz to get going with 10 minutes worth of introduction and innate chat. First round is very slow, at this stage I was starting to yawn, last two rounds went pretty quick, its a bit like marmite, do I watch it or not.

I reckon its going to be one of those quiz shows that will get dropped after one season.

Posted by: Popchartfreak 26th May 2019, 08:07 AM

bring back an updated Pop Quiz! Pop stars showing how much (or little) they know about pop music. 30 minutes and good fun.

Posted by: Mack. 26th May 2019, 02:31 PM

It's just seemed to be another version of Name That Tune. They make it sound like an original concept.

Posted by: Jade 26th May 2019, 06:44 PM

Well I loved this and already want to go on it as a contestant

Posted by: ThePensmith 26th May 2019, 07:06 PM

Me too! I absolutely loved it. Probably needs a tiny bit of fine tuning in terms of how much time there is before they get to the rounds but as others have said but I was actually screaming the answers at the TV going 'I could do better than them'. If you're doing that at a quiz show it's a sign it's a winner.

Posted by: Chez Wombat 26th May 2019, 08:05 PM

I did love being able to almost play along myself given how much I know the subject matter, it was a bit too lovey-dovey and kitsch as a show though and yeah, way too much chatter, they need to find a way to balance the rounds better.

Posted by: UltraME! 26th May 2019, 08:28 PM

Omg finally someone else stanning this, i I honestly loved this so much 😂😍

Posted by: coi 15th June 2019, 07:39 PM

We really do need to go on this show!

Posted by: ThePensmith 29th June 2019, 08:50 PM

Confirmed at the end of tonight's episode - and last in series - that it will be returning for a second series later this year!

Posted by: Brett-Butler 29th June 2019, 08:54 PM

Fantastic stuff, trying to find someone to be my team-mate for applying for the 2nd series. Enjoyed it a lot more than I was expecting to.

Posted by: Suedehead2 29th June 2019, 10:39 PM

Anyone?

Tonight's winners were outstanding. I assume the closing remarks were recorded at the same time as the rest of the show. After all, if they wanted the series to go out on a high, they got their wish.

Posted by: Liаm 29th June 2019, 11:08 PM

This was really fun to watch and play along, I enjoyed it too! I'd love to go on it, I've been sat at home most episodes knowing all the ones they skip and thinking "I KNEW THAT I COULD HAVE GOT THAT MONEY"

Posted by: Suedehead2 30th June 2019, 12:34 AM

One of the best things about it is that they seem to have had a fairly rigorous selection process. The contestants have generally known their stuff.

Posted by: Popchartfreak 30th June 2019, 08:59 AM

Hah! My mate co-team member nearly got into a fight in a car park with a dick who thought it was "sad" that we always won the music round (cos I do quite like pop music) when we turned up every few weeks. So we stopped going there. The pub has closed down and been knocked down now. I like to think it's poetic justice for allowing knobs into their establishment

Posted by: Popchartfreak 30th June 2019, 09:04 AM

Not me. I've been on national Radio One Mike Read's Pop Quiz and I know when put under pressure in front of an audience my mind goes blank and I stand there like a goldfish It was a spur of the moment "I'll do it!" when the assistant went into the crowd at the live Roadshow and asked for volunteers and I was right by the barrier where she stood. Oops! Got a sweat shirt and mug (and I still won anyway once I got into the flow)

Posted by: Steve201 30th June 2019, 09:49 AM

I'm like that at quizzes too, just forget stuff I know!

Posted by: ThePensmith 5th November 2019, 10:28 PM

So hyped for that *.*

Posted by: ThePensmith 6th November 2019, 02:58 PM

Series 2 starts next Saturday, 16th November at 6:25pm on BBC One:

Series 1 is also available to watch again on iPlayer.

Posted by: ThePensmith 16th November 2019, 12:39 AM

Nadine and Heidi won the Children In Need edition. Worth a watch on iPlayer to hear her say 'Taynage Kacks bey The Undertoones'

Posted by: ThePensmith 22nd November 2019, 08:59 PM

Another celebrity edition has been confirmed for Christmas on BBC One. Air date TBC but here's your lineup for that one:

Posted by: Liam James 22nd November 2019, 10:10 PM

Ohhh I love it

Posted by: Crazy Chris-tmas 21st December 2019, 07:36 PM

Last in the series delayed because of extra time in football.

Posted by: Crazy Chris-tmas 21st December 2019, 10:36 PM

Wasn't shown at all and not a word as to when it will be.

Posted by: ChristmaSteve201 22nd December 2019, 12:16 PM

I'm sure it'll be on in the next few Saturday nights!

Posted by: lewis🎄green 22nd December 2019, 03:16 PM

The Celebrity one is on this Saturday 28th, I'll assume Episode 6 will be put on January 4th before The Greatest Dancer or something.

Posted by: ChristmaSteve201 22nd December 2019, 03:47 PM

They could easily combine this sort of show with 'Sounds Like Friday Night' and have a few live performances as part of the quiz and artists could promote their new material.

Posted by: Brett-Butler 22nd December 2019, 04:02 PM

That would be great if they could do something like that. The ratings for the 2nd series have been quite strong for a Saturday night, so I'm hoping there's a third series (and hopefully I can find someone from my neck of the woods to audition with me).

Posted by: Crazy Chris-tmas 22nd December 2019, 04:20 PM

Hopefully it will be. To run it late last night would have made them be running late all evening.

Posted by: Suedehead2 24th January 2020, 05:12 PM

The missing episode is on 1 February at 5:45.

Posted by: ThePensmith 28th January 2020, 11:20 PM

At last! Hoping Series 3 gets announced soon...

Posted by: ThePensmith 3rd February 2020, 07:00 PM

Series 3 now confirmed - applications opening for filming in April! https://www.bbc.co.uk/showsandtours/take-part/hit-list

Posted by: Suedehead2 3rd February 2020, 07:39 PM

It was a cracking contest to end the series. We will never know whether the first couple to leave were any good or not.

Posted by: Mack. 21st September 2020, 09:58 AM

The Hit List returns Saturday at 6.15. Really looking forward to it.

Posted by: lewistgreen 26th September 2020, 06:00 PM

Cartoon Heroes is a throwback and a half! Who knew it cost over $3.5 million to make the video though

Posted by: Doug 26th September 2020, 06:22 PM

Big congrats to BuzzJack’s very own Spiral and his partner who was just on there and won! Very happy for them both!
I have my eyes peeled on application castings for this for me and my sister, we’ve been itching to take part!

Posted by: Liаm 26th September 2020, 06:32 PM

I knew of Adam from following each other on Twitter, didn't know the show was back til he tweeted he was on it, but glad it is, it's so fun playing along! Me and my friend want to apply too for next series, it'd be so fun to do.

Posted by: Suedehead2 26th September 2020, 07:37 PM

Well done Spiral! You were both amazingly good.

I thought they said all of the songs in the first round had made the top five but Summer Of '69 didn't even make the top forty.

Posted by: Jester 26th September 2020, 08:10 PM

That was Spiral?

He was amazing! Well done

Posted by: Steve201 27th September 2020, 01:22 PM

And I was laughing at his knowledge of female pop stars while watching it wondering whether he was a BJer! Well done though!

Posted by: Suedehead2 5th December 2020, 10:13 PM

A really impressive pair tonight. Great knowledge across genres and eras.

Posted by: CHRIS-TMAS 5th December 2020, 11:25 PM

Yes, agree with you.

Posted by: Jade 10th April 2021, 06:23 PM

We need to recruit the girl with the Now collection to BuzzJack

Posted by: Suedehead2 10th April 2021, 06:42 PM

She'd fit in very well

Posted by: steve201 10th April 2021, 07:59 PM

I kinda thought she might have been on here lol. Wish she opened her mouth when she spoke though!

Posted by: Botchia 11th April 2021, 12:45 PM

I did think when watching it... I wonder if she's already on here

Posted by: steve201 11th April 2021, 03:29 PM

You think she’s Hadji?

Posted by: Slick 11th April 2021, 04:38 PM

I really thought she was already a Buzzjack member. Very good music knowledge!

Posted by: Mark. 11th April 2021, 08:36 PM

She was good, really enjoying this show

Posted by: hermespice 11th April 2021, 09:16 PM

I didn’t even know it was back on until I saw it recorded on my planner 😂

Posted by: steve201 15th May 2021, 07:30 AM

Really enjoying this series, watch it every week!

It’s so hard to win the money though!

Posted by: lewistgreen 4th September 2021, 06:14 PM

New series starting now with a Celeb edition!

Posted by: Suedehead2 4th September 2021, 09:09 PM

There's a full series of celeb editions. Of course, they won't necessarily all be shown in one go. Another celeb one next week, but it's perfectly possible that they'll leave it at that for a few months

Posted by: Suedehead2 9th October 2021, 05:56 PM

A really tense show tonight!

Posted by: Jade 9th October 2021, 06:03 PM

I know right that tactical grime move paying off!

Posted by: steve201 9th October 2021, 07:01 PM

It was bloody hilarious the two Peters were legends 🤣

Posted by: steve201 13th November 2021, 06:49 PM

I swear this is my favourite show of the weekend!

Posted by: Mack. 13th November 2021, 07:01 PM

They see that had to bleep Smack My Bi*ch Up tonight during one of the answers given.

Posted by: steve201 13th November 2021, 09:50 PM

Haha yeh hilarious!

Fair play on the winners doing so well!

Posted by: Mark. 13th November 2021, 10:28 PM

yeah the winners were really good

Posted by: Dot Branning 14th November 2021, 07:09 PM

Lmao at the Smack My Bitch Up moment.

The winning pair were very good last night.

Posted by: Mack. 29th November 2021, 03:28 PM

Joanne and Ore needed to calm down on the recent show!

Posted by: lewistgreen 1st January 2022, 03:21 PM

The final celebrity special of the series airs this afternoon at 5:30pm and is a Noughties special! Liz McClarnon and Natasha Hamilton, Simon Webbe and Duncan James, Claire Richards and Lee Latchford-Evans take part.

Posted by: Ho-Lee Smokes 1st January 2022, 06:12 PM

Liz and Natasha were horrendous

Posted by: Suedehead2 1st January 2022, 06:17 PM

They showed that there is a worse noise than Atomic Kitten "singing" - Atomic Kitten on a game show.

Posted by: gooddelta 1st January 2022, 07:14 PM

I thought Claire and Lee were pretty good and unlucky not to make the final.

I'd love to apply to this but apparently you can only do it with someone you live with or in your household bubble. My partner wouldn't want to be on it, so that's me out until they allow you to do it with friends.

Posted by: Dot Going Under 2nd January 2022, 08:49 PM

Posted by: Christmasteve201 5th January 2022, 11:44 PM

Is that just because of Covid?

Yeh at least steps took it seriously the others seemed to be taking the piss in the first rounds!

Posted by: gooddelta 5th January 2022, 11:48 PM

I would imagine so, yeah, so hopefully it'll change after Omicron subsides. A lot of TV productions are still being very cautious with bubbles etc I think.

Posted by: Christmasteve201 5th January 2022, 11:50 PM

I would imagine if I went on it I would be terrible, although I know lots about the charts and can predict what episode of TOTP they are showing in the second round before it shows it I am not great at hearing a little clip of a song and being able to remember it. I would also freeze on tv and make it even worse and get obvious ones wrong 😬

Posted by: Suedehead2 15th July 2022, 08:32 PM

Back for another series tomorrow.

Posted by: Brett-Butler 15th July 2022, 09:06 PM

I wonder if they're going to re-introduce the studio audience and walk-in intro now that filming is no longer under Covid guidelines. I wasn't a fan of those things, so hopefully they keep the format the same as the previous series.

Posted by: Mark. 24th September 2022, 10:56 PM

One of my fav shows at the moment yes i always shout (or say even) the answers at the telvision

Posted by: Mack. 17th June 2023, 05:12 PM

Returned for a new series a couple of weeks ago.

They don't need to help Jayde with the answers.

Posted by: steve201 3rd September 2023, 09:22 PM

The best contestants ever on Saturdays show there!

Posted by: Hadji 4th September 2023, 08:49 AM

I was playing along on Saturday too and I would’ve got a perfect game with the questions that were used on that final

Posted by: steve201 4th September 2023, 08:18 PM

Yeh tbf I knew most of them but not everyone would have plus they were excellent throughout!

Posted by: lewis🎄green 12th December 2023, 10:15 PM

Christmas Special airing 23rd December at 6pm with Una Healy and Kimberly Wyatt, Gregg Wallace and Kate Thornton, George Shelley and Kitty Scott-Claus.

Posted by: J❄️hq 13th December 2023, 09:20 AM

Do they get some people to film this at the same time as The Weakest Link

Hope Kimberly slays just as much on this.

Posted by: Christmasteve201 29th December 2023, 09:25 AM

Just watched this and enjoyed when the teams thought ‘Lonely This Christmas’ was by Elvis!

Posted by: Who’sXmasSack 29th December 2023, 10:28 AM

An answer on Never Mind the Buzzcocks literally stated that it was by Elvis, very poor from the question setters!

Posted by: lewis🎄green 29th December 2023, 11:27 AM

Poor from which show? Because it's definitely not an Elvis song, just sounds like him and was allegedly intended for him to record. The Hit List played Mud's version so that was the answer to give.

Posted by: Christmasteve201 29th December 2023, 12:20 PM

It was never an Elvis song, they were purposely trying to sound like Elvis when recording it!

Posted by: Who’sXmasSack 29th December 2023, 12:33 PM

Poor from Buzzcocks! Sorry, should've made that clearer, I'm well are that it's by Mud haha.

They had to complete the lyrics from the song, Greg Davies corrected them and said "xxxxxx from 'Lonely this Christmas' by Elvis.

And just before that, after reading lyrics from Slade's 'Merry Xmas Everybody', he said that it was by Shakin' Stevens!
