Richard Ayoade

The Big Fat Quiz of the Year 2017 pairs Ayoade with Noel Fielding, making a useful introduction to their contrasting kinds of mischief. The biscuit-bringing episode rewards watching the team relationship as much as the quiz answers. Ayoade’s formal delivery gives Fielding’s playfulness a different surface to bounce against. Choose their longer exchanges if you enjoy comic resistance and cooperation occupying the same moment; the panel’s reactions matter more than whether the team is trying particularly hard to win.
