Big Fat Quiz Of The 80's / 90's / 00's

Basq

There's always interest in these - and there is currently three Big Fat Quiz's being aired.

The first being Big Fat Quiz Of The 80's (which aired last Sunday - and only spotted it was on while on holiday and Sky+'d it - but it's on 4OD for those who missed it!), Big Fat Quiz Of The 90's is on Sunday, and we can kinda guess what the other one will be the following Sunday.

Big Fat Quiz Of The 80's

Jimmy Carr hosts the first of three irreverent quizzes grilling celebrities on decades gone by, beginning with the 1980s, when the Tories were in power and the whole world tuned in to watch a royal wedding. Jonathan Ross, Jason Manford, Stephen Mangan, Micky Flanagan and Carol Vorderman are the famous faces showing how much they remember - or just proving how much they've forgotten - about the decade when the Berlin Wall fell, the Brat Pack reigned at the cinema and the Hand of God had English football fans up in arms

Watch Now!

Big Fat Quiz Of The 90's

Jimmy Carr hosts the second of three irreverent quizzes on decades gone by, as Phill Jupitus, Jack Whitehall, Alan Davies, Claudia Winkleman and Denise Van Outen demonstrate how much they remember about the 1990s. Celebrity guests include Wolf from popular game show Gladiators, broadcaster Michael Buerk, pop star Chesney Hawkes, and comedy duo Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer

Didn't watch the first one yet but they're always worth a watch!

I enjoyed it last Sunday as there wasn't the typical clown answering incorrectly for cheap laughs.

ps. Carol Vorderman is still tasty for an auld one

I thought the 80s episode was only alright. It didn't really catch fire at any stage.

They only barely touched on Melanie from Neighbours having the same laugh as Jimmy Carr, I thought that had a lot more potential!

Anyway, I see Dara O'Briain will be on the 90s show. I am looking forward to that, especially after reading his tweet a few minutes ago ...

Dara O Briain ‏@daraobriain
Just did "Big Fat Quiz of the 90's" for Ch4. Honestly, might be my favourite funny thing ever. Hope it comes across on telly on Sunday night

Basq

It was.. decent!

Thought Micky Flanagan was great on the 80's Show and enjoyed Jason Manford too.

Dr Buckles (aka Adam Buxton) wasn't very good at all though!

Dara O'Briain and Jack Whitehall for 90's Show, so I'm in!

Basq

Mr Blobby and Babestation... amazing!

Very very funny stuff tonight.

Literally had tears rolling down my face for the final few minutes.

I always love these quizzes
Loved micky Flanagan last week and Jack Whitehall and dara this week
Serious lack of Russell brand though any chance he'll be in the 00's one next week?

Apparently - The Big Fat Quiz Of The 00's has Noel Fielding, Richard Ayoade, David Mitchell, Alan Carr, Kevin Bridges and Sarah Millican.

Not a bad line-up to be fair.

Apparently - The Big Fat Quiz Of The 00's has Noel Fielding, Alan Carr, Kevin Bridges and Sarah Millican. Should be another two to go along with it.

Russell's usually paired with Noel so hopefully

See my edit... afraid not!

NegativeCreep

Nooo
I hate the way they get Sarah milican on everything. She's crap! Noel fielding will do I suppose

Basq

I quite like Sarah Millican..

.. no offence to female comedian's (comedienne's?) but they're largely fairly unfunny.

But Sarah Millican is definitely very witty.

It's a strong line-up.. no fluff a lá Claudia Winklemen.

NegativeCreep

Ah now I love Claudia winkleman. She's nuts I agree though, most female comedians aren't great. Except Sarah Silverman. Love her :L

The Babestation stuff tonight had me in bits

All she ever goes on about is her boyfriend with her highly irritable voice

That was a great show tonight ... Dara O'Briain was excellent. And Jack Whitehall continues his transformation from 'very unlikeable' to 'very funny'

The

Plug Doctor Ahhobsea and Nelson Mandela in the lift

had me in stitches.

Really looking forward to David Mitchell in the last show. He is always good on any panel show.

+1 to this. Just finished watching it. I nearly had some sort of fit I was laughing so much. Not a huge Blobby fan, but that was genuinely funny (although compared to the rest of the show, anything would've been - cannot stand Jupitus, the babestation thing went on far too long, and is Jack Whitehall actually 12?)

Didn't think much of the 80s one but the 90s had me in stitches. Jack Whitehall was on fire.

Gah no, the only thing Sarah Millican talks about is her unsatisfactory sex life and love of chocolate. Her voice is like fingernails on a chalkboard.

Gina Yashere is probably the only decent uk female comedian I can think of atm.

Disappointing this week..

.. Ayaode has the best lines of the night by far!

The 90's was definitely the best of the three.

Agree on everything you said there, only funny in patches and a bit of a stale ending...
