A weekly topical panel show based around 'opinion polls, surveys and statistics'. It is hosted by Jimmy Carr and the current regular team captains are Sean Lock and Jason Manford.

Our Review: A fairly cheap, un-intelligent and forgettable panel show which is dragged down further by its often poor guest selection (thick celebrities and ex-reality TV stars regularly appear).

However, 8 Out Of 10 Cats does have its moments, thanks mostly to the wit of the three regulars, particularly Sean Lock who always manages to save a conversation that starts floundering with a quick-witted gag.

Whilst 8 Out Of 10 Cats might not be the best panel show ever made, if you've got nothing else to do in an evening it can prove itself to be an enjoyable enough link in your comedy viewing schedule.

Actually, the last couple of series have been rather entertaining - it seems 8 Out Of 10 Cats is slowly creeping towards becoming something rather good indeed. The thing is, the show is now up to Series 9, and what is it they say about cats and lives?
