I wish '8 Out of 10 Cats' would stop mucking around with Countdown and get back to the day job.

I've seen on Digital Spy that others feel the same way. However, 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown gets more views than 8 Out of 10 Cats.

I do think that they need to change the format to keep it going. Most weeks it's Jon + guest vs Sean + guest which is a bit too repetitive.

On the original programme, you have an additional guest on each team which adds to the variety. I think you need the element of current affairs that the original programme had to keep it fresh tbh.

I agree with several others in that I could well do without reality TV rubbish.
Eastenders, Corrie, Hollyoaks et al can go in the bin too.


I'm a fan of programmes like Coast too, Countryfile can be good sometimes as well.
There have been quite a few British travel programmes that have been pretty good.
Julia Bradbury and Ade Edmonson presented 2 of them, forget what they were called. She walked, he drove. The Speyside one was particularly interesting for me because of its railway content.

ps I too am a Futurama fan. Every bit as good as the Simpsons, yet in got cancelled.

Now I think the Countdown stuff is much funnier than the original stuff. They could ditch Joe Wilkinson though.

Joe Wilkinson hasn't appeared in any of the last 7 episodes. In those 7 they've done 2 episodes with a 3rd team member instead, one with Nick Helm in Joe Wilkinson's place, one with Joey Essex in Joe Wilkinson's place and 3 with no replacement for Wilkinson.

They're different now. Jo from S Club was a good singer, she isn't now.
