Crystal Maze Sketches/Parodies Extra Extra (I need to learn to remember all of these at once)

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.
