Television
Jupitus was one of the panellists on the first TV episode of the show Loose Talk, which made a brief transition to television in 1994. His break came in 1996 when he joined BBC Two's pop quiz, Never Mind the Buzzcocks, as a regular team captain - having appeared in every single episode, except for Season 25, Episode 6. He also frequently appears on QI as a guest panellist; during the vodcast for one 2007 episode, he provided a Dalek impersonation and also has a history of mimicking the host of QI, Stephen Fry, while on the show.
In December 1999, he had the lead role in Dark Ages, an ITV sitcom parodying preparations (and fears) for the year 2000 in the setting of Essex 999AD.

Famous quotes containing the word television:
“Cultural expectations shade and color the images that parents- to-be form. The baby product ads, showing a woman serenely holding her child, looking blissfully and mysteriously contented, or the television parents, wisely and humorously solving problems, influence parents-to-be.”
—Ellen Galinsky (20th century)
“They [parents] can help the children work out schedules for homework, play, and television that minimize the conflicts involved in what to do first. They can offer moral support and encouragement to persist, to try again, to struggle for understanding and mastery. And they can share a child’s pleasure in mastery and accomplishment. But they must not do the job for the children.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
“History is not what you thought. It is what you can remember. All other history defeats itself.
In Beverly Hills ... they don’t throw their garbage away. They make it into television shows.
Idealism is the despot of thought, just as politics is the despot of will.”
—Mikhail Bakunin (1814–1876)
