8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown

I like it when Jimmy Carr laughs at his own jokes. Her her herrrrrrr

As far as comedy gameshows go, this is one of the best out there. The rules of Countdown are stretched enough if not broken for some of the comedians playing the game. The regular panelists are always quick witted and hilarious, whether it's outright jokes or some skits. It's bound to get a few laughs, a highly amusing way to spend a Friday night. Jimmy Carr has some of the best panelist intros in British comedy, especially when the other panelists can dish out some of the most savage comebacks and put downs. They manage to maintain a consistent level of back and forth so it never becomes tiring or overdone.

Its a great show BUT the long winded story telling moments usually from the person next to susie is annoying, cant remember how many times i have skipped that bit, other then that, amazing show.

A very funny show that always makes me laugh until Joe Wilkinson comes on. It might be me but I just don't find him funny.

I absolutely love Jimmy Carr and he is well suited to hosting this show. Jon Richardson is just the icing on the cake, with his nerdy weirdness.

You really never know what to expect each episode. But I do love how Jimmy loves to try and distract the celebrities from doing the words or numbers by doing stupid antics as the countdown clock is ticking down.

Sometimes I remember to give the word puzzles a go and I have been trying the sums as well. But most of the time I just watch it for a laugh. I think the good thing about this cross over show is that it has brought Countdown over to a crowd that possibly would not have bothered to watch it before.
