8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown

Great combo of a panel show and a game show,both aspects of the show works well with a great cast but.... There is one huge negative with this show and that's Joe Wilkinson. I can't stress enough how terrible this guy is, he's so cringeworthy that I dread every second he's on and he almost drains the life out of a great show.

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.

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.

8 Out Of 10 Cats does Countdown is and will always be, one of my favorite quiz shows.

It is so funny, each episode in a different way, some more than others, but they never fail to make me giggle.

Jimmy Carr does a great job as host, and still manages to stay funny and quick to comment. Jon and Sean are both some of my favorite comedians, they are always very clever and very funny, and actually fairly good at countdown, which is quite nice.

Last but not least: the format. The general format of Countdown really hits the spot with me. Sitting at home, trying to get a better word than they do, is so much fun.

All in all a great show!

When the hole world seems to be collapsing around you this is the most fantastic uplifting program it makes me cry with happiness.
