Rockbusters

[Gregor]

Rockbusters was conceived by Pilkington and was played on Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant's long running XFM radio show in between 2002-4 and brought back in 2005. It debuted on 12th October 2002 as a phone-in but converted to an e-mail competition the following week. Despite punning in its title, the game has very little in common with Blockbusters (game show). It is played by Karl giving three clues, which he considers 'cryptic' but are in reality convoluted colloquialisms which often depend on the answer being mispronounced. Along with the 'clue', Karl includes the initials of the answer.

So lets play.

Heres an example to get the idea.

Initial : AK
Clue: An Exploding Pet

Answer : Atomic Kitten.

Anyway now you hopefully know it heres the question, an easy one :

Initial : F
If a little girls hungry what do you do.
