The Big Fat Quiz of the Year: 2006

The Big Fat Quiz of the Year is an annual British television programme broadcast in the last or first week of the year on Channel 4. Essentially, the show is a comedy panel show in the style of a pub quiz. Three teams, of two celebrities each, are asked questions relating to the events of the year just gone by, which they write answers to on an electronic board in front of them. At the end of each round, they then display their answers, scoring a point for each correct one. The first edition was broadcast in December 2004. There has been another at the end of each year since, as well as a special edition in November 2007 for Channel 4's 25th anniversary celebrations. Repeats can usually be found days later on Channel 4's sister-channel E4. Stand-up comedian Jimmy Carr has been the host and quizmaster of each edition to date. Channel 4 recently made full episodes of The Big Fat Quiz Of The Year available to view on Youtube.
