Channel 4 is to broadcast an extra episode of Big Fat Quiz of the Year to mark the satirical show's tenth anniversary.

The Big Fat Anniversary Quiz, hosted by Jimmy Carr, will air during the Christmas period and will cover news and events from the past decade.



Russell Brand, Noel Fielding, Jonathan Ross, Warwick Davis, Jack Whitehall and Claudia Winkleman will form the three celebrity pairs taking part in the milestone show, which is to air in addition to the usual end of year comedy quiz.

In announcing the news, the broadcaster teased the topics covered in the bonus show, adding that viewers can expect questions on everything from "Chico-time and the horsemeat scandal to sexy spies".

Last year, the Big Fat Quiz of the Year 2012 was cleared by Ofcom, after a number of viewers raised concerns about jokes made by Jack Whitehall, James Corden and host Jimmy Carr about the Queen, Barack Obama and Susan Boyle.



The regulator concluded that the show hadn't breached guidelines and that the complaints didn't warrant investigation.

The lineup for the 2014 end of year round-up has yet to be announced, but previous panellists have included Eddie Izzard, Jamie Oliver, Sharon Osbourne, Gabby Logan and Gordon Ramsay.
