2Phat

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

2Phat was an Irish television programme shown on Network 2. It reunited Ray D'Arcy and Zig and Zag, who had been on The Den previously. Music was provided my DJ Lee and the theme of the show was decidedly tongue-in-cheek.

The show consisted of 15 audience members, usually a class in school, who all knew each other. The show would have short sketches, which involved a question, usually music-related. The person who buzzed in first got a chance to answer the question, if answered correctly they then had to pick a title from the phat board. The phat board (a big Television screen) would then play a short section from three different music videos which all had something in common. At the end of the show one person would be selected at random from the people who answered a question correctly to play the final round where they could win a motor scooter.

[edit] Velcro Girl

Velcro Girl was played by Tracy Sheridan, who was a model dressed in a velcro-covered catsuit, came on stage with items stuck to her, which provided hints to an artist's identity, which the audience would guess. She made her entrance to the Blood Red Shoes song "You Bring Me Down!".

[edit] Hum a Hit

A random person on the street would hum a song, which the audience would try and guess.

[edit] Pot Bellied Plop

This was a special once-off segment, where each member in the audience had a celebrity's face, and the show cut to a pot-bellied pig in a pen lined with pictures of the celebrities. Whoever wore the mask of the celebrity whose face the pig pooped on first won the round.
