The first "Big Fat Quiz" was broadcast on 27 December 2004. Louis Walsh, Nadia Almada and Dame Kelly Holmes all made live appearances to read out the answers for the months of April, June and August respectively. Recorded questions from Bono, Derren Brown and The Bear from "Bo' Selecta!" were shown too along with films of Richard and Judy discussing events. The children of Mitchell Brook Primary School in Neasden acted out news stories that happened throughout the year, such as Ricky Gervais winning two Golden Globe Awards for "The Office" and the Momart fire.
