In Britain, we love a panel show. Any excuse to cram a load of comedians and presenters on screen so they can all bounce off one another and have a joke about life, events, and everything in between. Since 2004, Channel 4 has marked the end of every year with 'The Big Fat Quiz of the Year' hosted by Jimmy Carr.
There have been a few spinoff versions over the years, BFG of the 80's/90's/00's, BFG of Everything but the one in question was the Big Fat Anniversary Quiz celebrating 25 years of Channel 4. With future mazemaster Richard Ayoade partnered with David Mitchell, after a couple of hours of questions covering everything from Oliver Reed getting lecherous to Shaun Ryder getting TFI Friday in more trouble than anyone had ever been in on the network, the BFAQ ended with a Crystal Maze clip, question and budget dome. It's a loose fit for "Sketch/Parody" but I'm counting it just based on the dome.
I'm not betting against having to update this later, mentioning that at least one panelist is in the next series of TCM. Aisling Bea is a Channel 4 regular, Jimmy Carr has guested on everything from Catchphrase to Tipping Point, and Rob Beckett seems to be getting involved, whether guesting or hosting, with every TV show going. We do ask when we visit but we never get told who's coming up.
There is a strong possibility they have done a few themed episodes like the derry girls one from last year. There is a possibility an 8 out of 10 cats special and maybe a this morning special with some of the team hopefully Holly & Phil.
ReplyDeleteOne has Gemma Collins and James Argent from The Only Way Is Essex but that's the only names we know so far
