The Big Fat Quiz of Everything

I've not been an avid fan of the Carr-fronted long-running "Big Fat Quiz" programmes - and they rattle on in the background of British TV comedy, they go on for ages and take the format of a star-studded version of a pub quiz featuring a glittering array of filmed cameos from celebrities trying to awkwardly promote something. Quite fun to drink along to but otherwise a bit of a slog.

This edition of the show that plays out like a pub quiz was a special with questions about many famous facts from recorded history since the dawn of man, a surprisingly factual and as usual funny show to watch and have fun with. Hosted by Jimmy Carr, with celebrity panellists in three teams: Jonathan Ross and Brooklyn Nine-Nine star Chelsea Peretti (Cops and Wobbers), Mel Giedroyc and Jack Whitehall (The Custard Junkies), and Richard Ayoade and Noel Fielding (The Ladder Collars / Team Falafel / Russell Brand Not Available).
