8 Out of 10 Cats

The new series has started and the new team captain Jason Manford was actually quite good for his debut. Is it just me or are there other people who get annoyed when they get a really crap guest on the show (Usually Big Brother contestants) who does absolutly nothing and just sits there laughing. They are not comics, it is not there job to make us laugh. These people are nobodies becoming somebodies by going on reality TV. At least TV presenters and actors make a contribution. When I watch this I want to be entertained and this is not happening with Big Brother contestants and people from The Apprentice. Were Patrick McGuinness and Rob Rouse busy?

Seeing as the show is mainly about pop culture, I'm not surprised to see someone from BB or TA on there. But I'll agree, I'd rather see another comedian take that place.
I agree Jason Manford is pretty good, a decent stand up act as well.

Jason Manford was funny. It makes me cringe when some guest who are not comedians make really awful jokes (usually politicians). But the Apprentice woman didn't do too bad I thought, Danny Dyer was pretty funny. When they book someone new I guess they never know what they're going to be like.

To answer your question, why do they put people who aren't comediens on there: To make fun of them. 8OO10C would be pretty boring if they didn't have someone like that on there, it'd just be a rip of of HIGNFY otherwise. It'd be like taking actual musicians away from Buzzcocks.
Jason i have liked for a while. He has made me laugh several times on the show before when he was on and is definately the right man for the job. Whoever said he is a poor man's Petey Kay, Petey Kay is a poor man. Jason has not once said "tinternet", nor has other northern comedians like Lee Mack. The only "notherners" who like Peter Kay are twits who don't know anything about comedy (that goes for the south where he is just as popular amungst low lives). I doubt anyone here likes Petey Kay, so what's your point? Typical arrogant southerner, no offence nice people of the south.

In a word, no. But then HIGNFY was basically The News Quiz from radio 4.
I think the word 'creative' and 'television executive' are as commonly found together as Salman Rushdie and a Muslim Cleric.

News Knight. I posted about it recently I think. I have tickets.
And it's produced by the same company as HIGNFY, so the blame shouldn't go entirely at ITV's door.

I agree with a lot of what you said there, there is so many similar comedians and they are all so simple, i never saw how shouting "garlic bread" over and over was funny, jason manfred is quite funny, but as you say he is a poor mans peter kay.

I don't want to be an apologist for Peter Kay, and his tendency for: "Space Hoppers - what's that all about? ha ha ha" 70s nostalgia has grown a tad irritating, but I still think he's a damn good comedian. This is less to do with his basic material, which in other hands wouldn't amount to too much, but the way he performs it and absolutely nails his rapport with the audience. And make no mistake, this is not "delivery" of gags, like other comedians do. It is 100% performance. He goes through so many different personas on stage that he's comparable to Richard Pryor or Billy Connolly in many ways.
Cue debate?

Amen brother!
Thing to remember about Peter Kay is that he is a populist comedian. He found a way of appealing to the masses and went for it. It does therefore mean that most 'comedy nerds' (of which I am one) hate him because he's not a 'proper' comedian.
Manford is a 'proper' comedian and tells some damn fine jokes/stories. Give him time to bed into the role and just remember back to when he guested on Dave's team last series and slammed Piers Morgan into touch!

Two weeks in the row in his opening monologue hes made the same fat joke and does the same 'pretending to be fat' mime. Now thats what I call hackneyed.
As for the laughing at their own jokes I think its mainly because of the editing and as you say they aren't that funny. Although I like Sean Lock alot.

Yeah, I think the individual performers on it are obviously funny people (well, not the tennis player, except maybe when he's playing tennis!) but the show just didn't seem to be "there" somehow.
I think with these shows the main guy/gal (Jimmy in this case) has to have a really good script and then you have to get the right 'contestants' mix to get the 'magic'... whatever that is!

Indeed it is back next week. Here's the weird thing though - it's moving to Thursdays nights (10pm). It's not a bad show, but when put up against Mock the Week its not going to look so good?

I thought the quality of the last series was droping a little, but I think this new series has really picked up. It was at it's best when Dave Spikey was on it though.

I thought the episode the other night with Lee Mack was brilliant. But I've had that bloody Herman Crespo song stuck in my head since.

I think the idea behind the show is absolute crap (statistics about hopelessly unimportant matters - excuse me while I yawn) but occasionally the show really works despite the dumb concept. The BB specials are a great way to not watch BB and still see the worst of its idiocy and see it mocked as it should be.
I'm pretty sure I'd get tired of Jimmy Carr if I lived in Britain (the man is in *everything* but the news) but as I don't and can thus control my weekly/monthly Carr dosage, it's not really a problem and I still love him to bits. Sean Lock is also in good form on the show.
As with any panel show, sometimes the guests make me want my bury myself in sand but on average the show is plenty watchable.

I was waiting for someone to find something. I was going to do it myself but couldn't have been bothered.

Only because he is too busy.

Anyway, I disagree with the notion that he's in everything. I rarely get to see him.

Generally all the panel shows seem to have a rotation system going on at the mo. It's the same bunch of people playing musical chairs. It's not too bad though cos most of them are ace.

Now Big Brother has finished, the episodes are longer (50 minutes with ad breaks, instead of 30 minutes).
Quite happy with the longer length - Sean Lock is a genius.
