I know nobody's online to big up or shoot down my idea yet, but I'll just put in some planning into how it
could be done.
As per the actual show - there'd be one host, which I'd be happy to do. But any of you 3 can if you really want to. Then there's two team captains - perhaps two other members of our team - say Sia and Sam! - and we leave applications open for the four guests.
They are then randomly put onto the teams. I introduce the teams through some form of put-down about their TiBB 'careers' as Simon Amstell would do
Say 'LemonJam' applies, I could mention something like the 'least popular, least unpopular Elimination contestant for two years running' or whatever. I'll make it up as I go along
Teams introduced, the first round is as follows: I ask the first team a question such as "Why did Lily Allen have to cancel a concert? Was it a) her dog died, b) she broke her foot or c) religious protestors picketed outside" - and if they get it right, they get 2 points. Wrong = 0 points.
Then the next round is "Identity Parade" - where the team is given 5 pictures and they have to pick out who Tito Jackson is. Correct = 2 points.
Round 3 - Biggie To Smalls - they're given 4 pictures of famous musicians, and then have to rank them by order of most albums sold, or number of children, or whatever. They get 1 point per correct position - say the right order is 1st. Rod Stewart, 2. Ozzy Osbourne, 3. Prince, 4. Geri Halliwell and they put 1. Ozzy Osbourne, 2. Rod Stewart, 3. Prince, 4. Geri - they'd get 2pts.
And then finally Round 4 - Next Lines - I give them as many lyrics as possible in five minutes for them to finish. 1 point per correct answer.
Team with the most points wins.
For purposes of the players' enjoyment - the team captains should probably just listen to whatever answers their teammates give, rather than ignoring them and going with your own instincts, but obviously we won't tell them this.
Oh and I'd call it
Never Mind TiBBuzzcocks. C Wot I Did Der?
