8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown

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.
