People will be watching this on the internet and I just like to say to those people fuck off The Internet is a mistake gillywinks discount fireworks. Okay, right. Let's get on with the show Our first round is all about the year's top story, so let's remind ourselves What happened in 2018 in August Wanda collapsed and went into administration? If only they'd been a company that could have helped consolidate their debts into one easy monthly payment In July Boris Johnson warned that we're facing a semi brexit Which is not the same as what Nigel Farage got when the referendum results came in. That was a brexit semi Right, let's get started here are some questions for you in May Prince Harry married Megan Markel at a star-studded wedding in Windsor Elton John Tom Hardy and the Beckham's were all there but can you name three American celebrities that attended other than who other other than Elton John not American Tom Hardy not American In September two men were accused of poisoning a former Russian spy in the UK they claim to be tourists But what specific tourist attraction did they claim they were here to see and there's a bonus point if you can get the exact Measurement it was like the shitty spit in a Bond movie ever. Yeah They're ending You already seem disappointed in them Thrilled you here can't believe my luck. I can't believe you how many years have you two been competing together? because you've never you've never won I Have won twice did you know? Right next question Brexit dominated the headlines confusing many including actor Danny Dyer who described it as a mad riddle that nobody understands But what did he claim David Cameron had done in the aftermath of brexit. This is right on here. It comes out Remember those things you little pan around No, it is not acceptable to rob one out on the show In june donald trump met north korean leader kim Jung-un, the first time the heads of america and north korea have ever met before sitting down to talk What did Trump ask photographers to do? What did he ask photographers to do? Yeah, yes. Whatever was do something I'll give you a clue. He asked him to do something That was pretty much gonna be impossible, but he asked them to do something just instead of sitting down for the summit meeting He said photographers like me Okay, lastly for this first round, why was the world transfixed to hear the news of 13 wild boars in the summer Boa RS. Yeah wild boar not just Was it that were they roaring? Well that would give the whole thing away if I give you a location? Wait, is this ty cave thing well, if you say them out loud rather than writing them down You can sometimes give it away to the other team. Yeah, sure Some people would say that would be more televisual, you know Some quizzes they do that don't they on television people just say the answers out loud rather than watch footage of them, right? I'm very happy with you Michelle. Okay, we finished the quiz we can go. Yeah Round one and you know, it's round one stop it Right time for the first set of answers first time I asked you if you can name three American celebrities who attended Prince Harry and Meghan markle's wedding.

It is also weird It's pretty weird. Okay, so three points for David Michelle three points for Claudia and Mo no points for Richard and no next I'll see if you remembered what the two suspects are accused of poisoning the Russian spy claimed they were doing in the UK What do you have? Salisbury and Stonehenge Cathedrals doughnuts stone heads We just called stone hedges walls Your president wants to build a stone hedge Yeah, no, it's Stonehenge. We thought so because I think they wanted to see Salzburg They said they want to disease Salisbury Cathedral and Stonehenge. I thought and I thought Salisbury was the name of the grocery store At Sainsbury's, I think you're thinking What did you get? We just got set. It's Salisbury Cathedral but this spire and you asked for a measurement tall Richard why did you think the Russian spy said there were on a tourist trip to England? They want to go to Asda. I Haven't got one in Russia. So they'd heard it was good Competitively priced and they have a very good policy about taking stuff back. I took a TV back to Asda after a year Let's remind ourselves of there less than convincing reasoning during an awkward interview on Russia today, what were you doing there? Our friends had been suggesting for a long time that we visit this wonderful town. Look There's the famous Salsbury Cathedral famous. Not only in Europe, but in the whole world, it's famous for its 123 meter spire is famous for its clock the one of the first ever created in the world. That's still working And who are they fooling get those jumpers as they Ask you what Danny Dyer accused David Cameron of doing after brexit, what did your per we said? He won't tell him to fuck off. Are you fucked off? yeah, he fucked off as in he'd left departed fucked off and that he was a twat I Think that's what the point Claudia mo. I put ballsed it up. Did he say something, huh? It seems that something he would say dough like disease that the keys are in it fucking prick see That's not that's not even cockney, you know Twat in there, which is what he called him. That's worth. Ok twice good What what do you think Richard not also twat but there he put his trusses up Three ourselves, so this is Danny Dyer on brexit who knows about brick ship. Yeah, no one's got to include what bricks it is Yeah you what's question time? It's comedy. Well, you know clearer when Jeremy Corbyn No one knows what he is just like this man twiddled it. No one knows what it is What so what's happened to that sweat baby who pulled on this be fair? Comes he could scuttle off he called all this on. Yeah. Yeah, where's where is he? He's in Europe in nice with these trotters up I think you should be held accountable Heed point a lot of people do feel sweat How excited was that old man to be next to Pamela Anderson There's an incredible lineup of guests Discussing who we gonna get the a-team Yes, Danny died yes, Pamela Anderson. Yes Okay, I asked you what Trump asks photographers to do before his historic meeting with Kim Jung hoon What do you put I thought he said don't use flash Because he might melt He's Cerny, he's got an odd look about him it's northern. I answer Richard not Daniels inspector I've done back-to-front si put cheers on their tripods With two back two front legs, I don't know. I mean, I think I might have had an aneurysm Michelle we said make make us look good yummy That is the correct answer. Let's take a look at that excruciating the awkward meeting That's Michael McIntyre there I Asked why the world was captivated by news of 13 wild boars in the summer. I think Michelle might have given this away The take a boy. Yeah, the team was called the wild boars That's what that football team was called. So what you managed to write down what Michelle said? Yep, and retreat don't listen to them, but we did write ty cave Bing 13 boys rescued points all around I can tell you that Richard and gnaw have a very creditable to claw your mo have six in the lead David. Michelle was seven And no filler just like a Russians weekend away in Salisbury Welcome back to the big fat quiz our next round is all about the music of 2018. Let's remind ourselves The Spice Girls announced they are getting back together Victoria Beckham said she won't be singing with the Spice Girls. So no change there then And a scary sporty posh ginger baby is what Megan and Harry are gonna have next year Okay for our first music question It's over to the Channel 4 News room where Jon Snow is reporting on one of the biggest songs of the year over to John an International manhunt is underway After a British citizen in his 20s was seen abandoning large reptiles by the roadside south of the Equator the creatures which have been described as Homegrown alligators were reportedly left after the suspect was heard saying that he got a hip erode He is thought to have become distressed that the architecture around him was unfamiliar and was confused as to the date saying time flies by in the yellow and green according to eyewitnesses the accused spoke in a gravelly baritone and flared underneath the hot Sun in a vehicle with Two in the front and two in the back commanded his accomplices were said to be heading for a Mountaintop that he was dreaming of the public have been asked to report any unusual sightings of a man deep-sea diving around the clock wearing bikini bottoms Updates as we get them Back to you Jimmy Don't slow their reporting in one of the biggest songs of the year, so just write down the title of the song David Mitchell will get this one Michelle if it wasn't a hit in America can we just skip this question because We haven't got a clue we don't know So at this time this is dead time for us because there's no amount of thinking we could just name a song we do know singing in the rain, for example That's not what he's referring to I'll give you the artist. You can give me the song come on. So the artist is George Ezra I Just told you that I'm right. Yeah, anyway, you know polka dolls in Budapest right next question in May a global audience of around 200 million people saw Israel's Netta Barzilai win the Eurovision Song Contest with the song toy what was unusual about a dance move and sound effect featured in her performance Was she being an animal?

We've got some Polaroids I took in the 70s Netta Basel, I won the Eurasian song contest what was unusual about her dance and sound effect We think she did a fart dance move The dance moved me to go with the fart sound effect. Don't worry. She's like running away The sound effect would be crucial to the clarity over the move because you do a certain movement possibly slightly bottome But it's the noise that comes with it and makes it clear that that you're supposedly Representing a fart Sudi you think a fart noise won the Eurovision Song Contest? No, that's just part of the routine be amusing wouldn't it? Yeah, okay what's not improved by a fart I think you're greatly under estimating the fart Claudia mo. What did you get for this one?

Is there anything Black Panther can't do sadly? Yes, walk up to an American police officer with his hands in his pockets Let's remind ourselves of some of the years TV highlights action Hey watts Yes, yeah i'ma special to me that one as well Sugar chemistry, that's what it is. Yeah. Well played And TV and film questions first up currently starring in a Christmas carol in the West End Simon Callow has a question for you Hi, Jimmy. Now speaking of someone who knows a thing or two about Characters I was very intrigued to hear that a film featuring a well-loved British character was banned in China this year But can your teams tell me who it was? The final of BBC's bodyguard was watched by 17 million people due to a misunderstanding Over language some American viewers thought the two leads had an inappropriate relationship Why does Home Secretary mean mother in American? you are so So close to the right answer there What film released back in February resulted in people worldwide making the American Sign Language sign for hug and love Okay, next George Ezra has a question for you. Hello Jimmy. I've got a question for you So in May Jeremy Clarkson fronted the latest series of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire and alongside asked the audience 50/50 and phone-a-friend a new fourth lifeline was introduced to the show. Can you remember what it was called? It's a new life line. It's a new one. Yes. I see what I'll see you in 50 50 75 25 35 25 would be great. Is it just tell me the answer? Please time for a say will you see have a look at these pictures tell me what event from 2018 you think they're spelling out? Yes and deal with that Oh Claudia's got it wrong quickly Some smoke people no murmuring, but yes an easy way Time for some answers. Okay. So Simon Callow asked you if you knew which British character had been banned in China What did you get Winnie the poop? That is absolutely the correct answer. What did you think was banned in China? I thought that the teapots in Beauty and the Beast Had been banned why do you think that had been banned in China I was panicked Okay now Claudia mo You went with Christopher Robin? Which is also the right answer because the Christopher Robin movie was banned this year because it featured whenever persons everywhere The issue is do you know what the issue is? Is it Winnie the Pooh ain't got no clothes. He's got a t-shirt No, but that's a better that would be a more logical reason that would make some sense. Their reason is the the leader of China looks a bit like Winnie the Pooh and he's quite sensitive about it I Didn't know Winnie the Pooh was British old cartoon bears are English. Even yogi deal with that. I Only believe that because he says pic-a-nic and that feels like a thing you guys would say hey Yogi goes he goes. I'm gonna go on it. I'm taking my picnic best that just sounds like there's a lineup everyone's Nick anybody Okay next I wanted to know why some American viewers were confused about the relationship between two lead characters in The Bodyguard, okay What if you go on for Michelle incest? Dating we said related that is the same deal and you've gone with we put baby shot, but I said incest That's the strangest sentence I said Yes, some Americans were confused because when he says ma'am a lot of Americans thought Amen mom So have a look at some of the tweets the whole time I've been thinking David bard in The Bodyguard has been saying mom, but it's ma'am Thank God really made me think I was watching a show with a ton of incest in Incest fine. It's just a ton of him. Yes Let's have a look and see whether we think this is a valid complaint, how long is this gonna take? I can't say for certain mom. Oh Thank you mom Anjou Teemo Oakley alone He did all his chores right strap line, he's really done all this Going on a blatant picnic Also, there's far too much kind of friendliness between them for a standard English mother-son relationship. I Mean to be honest, I would say if they were a mother and son. Yes starts that you'd say their relationship is too formal It's not a healthy. Yeah, and then it becomes affectionate but in the wrong way Without an intervening period of a sort of healthy family die now. Yes, sometimes you over correct and then you swing back Yeah, they definitely over correct them Last night I over corrected your mum Corrected your mom last night Jimmy In the car park behind their bins Okay, I asked you if you knew what film had people making the American Sign Language sign for hug and love what did you Blind spot because I confuse sign language due to blind people Which mean what you do to blind people? Make Michelle thought that blind people might use sign language to get around their disability Not What did you put why do you think people were making the sign shape of water? You put the shape of water? Well, there was a deaf lady in the show But people didn't do the sign for hug and love the American sign for that because - what a bunch of wankers Black Panther. Yeah, it was the it was the sign for. Yeah. What kinda Okay, George ever wanted to know or what the new lifeline was on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire rope attached to a tire?
