This edition of the show that plays out like a pub quiz was all about the last decade (2010-2019), and all the news events in the world over those 10 years in entertainment, TV, film, music, sport, technology and science, politics and much more, this is a great show to watch and have fun with. Hosted by Jimmy Carr, with celebrity panellists in three teams: Jonathan Ross and Stacey Solomon (The Beliebers), Claudia Winkleman and Nish Kumar (Drexit Means Drexit), and Alan Carr and Joe Lycett (Lads, Lads, Lads / Grinders & Mincers). This quiz focused on ten years of news with all sorts of questions to answer about. These questions are asked as they are, with video and sound clips, with pictures (including Say What You See), and by celebrity and mystery guests on screen or in the studio, so it really does feel like a proper quiz that you can take part in. Events in the ten years that were questioned and joked about, and mentioned (or pictured) included: Downton Abbey, Ed Balls, British astronaut Tim Peake, the London 2012 Olympics (including James Bond and the Queen parachuting at Opening Ceremony, Mo Farah doing the "Mobot", Usain Bolt doing the "lightning bolt", and Jessica Ennis winning Gold in the heptathlon), Donald Trump becoming President of the United States, David Cameron and "piggate", Kanye West wanting to run for President, Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook, Hover Boards, The Great British Bake Off, Minions, Wonder Woman, the gold or blue dress debate, "Beliebers" (Justin Bieber fans), the Deepwater Horizon oil spill disaster, celebrity tax scandals (including Jimmy Carr), the Hatton Garden heist, the horse meat scandal, the Chilian miners rescue, including miner Yonni Barrios who was not met by his wife after it was revealed he'd been having an affair, the Icelandic volcanic ash cloud disruption, Ed Sheeran selling 115 million records during the decade, Beyoncé releasing the critically acclaimed album Lemonade, Madonna being pulled off-stage by a cape made by Armani, Lady Gaga's meat dress at the VMAs, "Watch Me (Whip / Nae Nae)" by Silento, "Get Lucky" by Daft Punk feat.
