Monday!?!? :eek:

It would have been a great lineup on a Friday with 8Oo10C then The Last Leg.

I sometimes wonder about schedulers :confused:

    According to the schedules it looks as though they have 8 Out of 10 Cats on Monday and 8 Out of 10 Cats does Countdown on Friday.

    Countdown back again!
    I like it but I think they're really running it into the ground. They should space them out more.


    Anyway, i'm looking forward to having the original show back, even if it is on a Monday.
    Host Jimmy Carr, captains Jon Richardson and Sean Lock are back for a new series of the topical comedy panel show with guests Paul Hollywood, Dawn O'Porter, Joe Wilkinson and Rob Beckett

    Hmmm, going out on a Monday, I dread to think when it was actually recorded. Last Thursday? Earlier? They really stretch the bounds of 'topical' comedy.

    I don't see that as a major problem. It's topical but not in the same way as The News Quiz or HIGNFY.

    I just think it's the type of show that suits a Friday night and it would have been a good lineup with The Last Leg also on.

    They cover the major topics people are talking about this week. How can you do that when the show doesn't go out for 4 days?!? Think about everything that has happened in the last 4 days.

    WTF was going on with Porter's hair. It looked as though she had headphones on underneath a wig.

    Does she have a brain tumor or something?

    She seemed to expect a round of applause after saying "I live in LA". Planes back there every day - Be a stranger.

    She would need to have a brain first.

    I think it is too, although Joe Wilkinson is so funnier in a panel.

    Thursday was a great day for it. The start of the week just seems like the wrong day for a news show.

    Also can't believe they're doing more Countdown. As if they hadn't bled it dry already.

    I also think 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown has ruined Joe Wilkinson for me. Seeing him on 8 Out of 10 Cats on Monday, I just can't tell whether he's funny any more because I've got used to him being humourless filler.

    The day I complain about more chances just to look at Rachel Riley is the day I get someone to nail the lid down.

    That's how it's been for the past few series. The Last Leg is also the same.

    Good show last night.
    I do think Mel is getting a bit tired with her ditsy act and Marsh wasn't really involved but the others were great.

    Johnny Vegas can sometimes overrun a show but he fitted in well.


    Also three females on a panel show. C4 sticking it to the beeb :p


    Aisling Bea has been great on all of her appearances. She seems to be able to adlib well. I wonder if there could be a spot on QI or MtW for her.

    I thought joking about the Oscar Pistorius trial was in appalling bad taste , a woman has died , not a source for humour

    Can't stand Mel whatshername. So irritating.

    Agree about the Pistorius bit. Especially weird considering Sean Lock lambasted the news for covering it as entertainment, rather than a serious crime. For them to then go on and make jokes just seemed really hypocritical.

    Well one is a topical comedy panel show and the other is The News

    Enjoyed MIchelle Marsh on it.

    Not heavily involved - but made a good contribution nonetheless - good stuff with her and Mel.

    Groaned at Lock's Pistorious joke - funny but not good. The same at his comparison between Pistorius' legs and glasses - bad taste it is true.

    Oh and Jimmy Carr is hilarious as always all through it - not to mention Johnny Vegas.

    ...and you could easily mix the two of them up to be honest.

    Doesn't Aisling look lovely?

    Seems like they're struggling to get people on it though. She was on it two weeks ago, plus Joe Wilkinson AGAIN, Dr Christian (Channel 4's go to guy if nobody else was available) and Lethal Bizzle?! Seems like BBC panel shows get bigger comedians now.

    It seemed to be one of the mid series specials on a specific topic so was probably recorded weeks back when they were both around.


    I like her though. She's been good all the times she's been on. I wonder if she'd do Mock The Week.
