Channel 4 is to celebrate The Big Fat Quiz Of The Year's 20-year anniversary with four compilation specials, British Comedy Guide can exclusively reveal.

The hour-long episodes of The Big Fat Quiz: Best Bits are set to air on the channel early next year, featuring highlights from the show and its spin-offs.

Hosted by Jimmy Carr and made by regular guest Jonathan Ross' production company Hot Sauce, the annual panel show has previously spawned specials dedicated to specific decades, a 10-year anniversary show, a show dedicated to 25 years of Channel 4 and iterations of The Big Fat Quiz Of Everything from 2015.

After Ross, the most featured guests have been Richard Ayoade, David Mitchell, Noel Fielding, Claudia Winkleman, Rob Brydon, Katherine Ryan, Jack Whitehall, Dara O Briain, Alan Carr, Roisin Conaty, Sarah Millican, Mel Giedroyc, David Walliams and Russell Brand, though the latter is unlikely to appear in the compilation episodes after being accused of multiple sexual assaults last year.

The panel for this year's episode of The Big Fat Quiz has yet to be confirmed a Channel 4 spokesperson told BCG.
