The Big Fat Quiz of the 80s
Sep 16, 2012
TMDB rating 7.7TMDB
Jimmy Carr hosts the first of three special editions of the Big Fat Quiz series, beginning with an irreverent look back at the almost unrecognisable decade of the 1980s when the Tories were in power, the whole world tuned in to watch a Royal wedding and it looked like war in the Falklands was inevitable. Who sang while the Berlin Wall fell? What was the Hand of God? And who were the Brat Pack? Whether you know some of the answers or are totally clueless, reminisce with the celebrities as they go back in time. Jonathan Ross, Jason Manford, Stephen Mangan, Micky Flanagan and Carol Vorderman - with appearances from Michael Fish, Su Pollard, John Craven and many more - compete to decide who can remember the most about the 1980s.

Jimmy Carr hosts the second of three special editions of the Big Fat Quiz series, and if the 90s taught us anything it was how to delete our internet history! But why did we stop eating burgers?

Sep 30, 2012
TMDB rating 7.2TMDB
Jimmy Carr hosts the third and final of the special editions series. And as we fondly look back at this period we may well think, 'blimey, could we really not come up with a better name than the noughties'? Embarrassing, if anything.\n\nSo why did the US briefly rename French Fries? How did the Crazy Frog cause controversy? And what on earth was Touch the Truck? If you haven't got a clue about any of the above questions then it's probably time you were in bed!\n\nIf you do, then join guests Alan Carr, Kevin Bridges, David Mitchell, Sarah Millican, Richard Ayoade and Noel Fielding with special guest appearances from Duncan Bannatyne, Greg Wallace, McFly and Peter Andre as they give the noughties the Big Fat Quiz treatment.
