Who's on the The Big Fat Quiz of Everything 2021 panel?

The Big Fat Quiz can always rely on a terrific line-up and that's no different this time round: comedians Rob Beckett, Roisin Conaty, Nish Kumar, Katherine Ryan, and Rob Brydon are joined by popular Strictly Come Dancing professional (and two-time consecutive Glitterball winner) Oti Mabuse.

Jon Snow, Charles Dance and a range of other celebrities are also on hand via pre-filmed segments to ask questions and give clues.

The Big Fat Quiz of Everything 2021 questions

While The Big Fat Quiz of the Year sees the contestants quizzed on the major (and sometimes not so major) events of the last 12 months, The Big Fat Quiz of Everything takes a different approach – covering anything that can be filed under 'trivia'.

Questions on this edition will reportedly cover topics including Only Fools and Horses, Johnny Cash and US tourist attractions, with Channel 4 teasing: "What was a 'bag o'mystery' in Victorian slang? What could you buy down Del Boy's Hooky Street? Who did Johnny Cash have a fight with in 1981? And what American attraction once went by the name 'Rebel Railroad'? All of these questions and more will be answered in the biggest quiz of them all."
