    Curbing The Rules

    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.

    Just fantastic

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

    Great show BUT

    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.

    Very funny but.......

    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.
