Full Fat Games: As seen on TV!
We appear on BBC gameshow, Eggheads, and laugh at ‘dong’ on national TV.
Team Full Fat. A.K.A. ‘Game of Phones’
When someone in your office sees a TV show and says “we could do that,” your first assumption is that they must be joking, but when our 2D Artist, Steve, watched Eggheads, he was deadly serious! Within days, he had Jim (Producer), Adam (Lead Artist), Phil, Dave & Simon (Programmers) filling out application forms, and before we knew it we were shooting audition videos in the office!
Watch the Full Fat episode of Eggheads on BBC iPlayer (UK only).
On Eggheads, a team of UK quiz champions takes on opponents from the general public in a tough test of general knowledge. Most of the contestants who attempt the show take it extremely seriously, planning their strategies and team lineup for months in advance of their appearance. Our guys were just a little more relaxed though. By which I mean that they didn’t prepare…at all. Basically, they just fancied a day out on the telly!
“It always looks like gameshow contestants have a good laugh, especially in a team. We all get on really well at Full Fat so it was like filming with best friends. None of us had been on telly before and we felt we could give the games industry a good showing!”
– Steven Whitfield, 2D Artist

The highlight of the show was definitely when the host, Jeremy Vine, asked Jim about the Edward Lear poem, ‘The Dong With a Luminous Nose.’
“What was luminous about the dong?”

Only our development team could appear on national TV for the first time and find themselves laughing at knob jokes in front of the whole country.
