8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown

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.

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

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

What is there more to say than what was written in the title? The show's host Jimmy Carr is a quick thinker, which allows him to make incredibly funny jokes all while retaining the edgy, dark humour he is known for. The scripted skits that take place while participants are writing down their answers are crazily ridiculous. Resident team captains Sean Lock and Jon Richardson have such strong chemistry with each other that I'd have a hard time imagining comedians that would be better in their place. All the while there is still the classic rounds of Countdown being played that many know and love, all starring the same lexicographer Suzie Dent, and presenter/mathematician Rachel Riley.

The entire show feels genuine, which is an important achievement that some panel shows have an issue with. In conclusion, 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown lives up to the hype as one of the pinnacles of British panel shows.

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.
