2Phat was an Irish television programme that was shown twice weekly on Network 2 from 1998 to 2000.[1][2] It reunited Ray D'Arcy and Zig and Zag, who had previously appeared together on The Den.[3][4][5] Following the demise of this show, all three would not appear together again until 14 November 2008, when D'Arcy hosted a Den Reunion Reunited special on his Today FM programme The Ray D'Arcy Show.
Format
The theme music for the opening of the TV show was a version of "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" by Propellerheads. Other music was provided by DJ Lee.[6]
The show typically consisted of 15 audience members,[2] and would involve a series of short sketches which led to a question. The person who buzzed in first got a chance to answer the question. 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. The final prize was a motor scooter.[2][7]
Recurring segments included several involving "Velcro Girl", a model (Tracy Sheridan) dressed in a velcro-covered catsuit. Items stuck to the suit provided hints to an artist's identity, which the audience would guess.[8]
