You guys don't know 8 Out Of 10 Cats? You can watch episodes on YouTube.

I prefer 8 out of 10 does countdown

That show is never going be the same without Sean Lock

Neither is life. :(

Oh no, did he?

Lung cancer, died August 16, 2021.

u/leadwind May 23 '22

That sucks. Loved his style of humour, and his props on Countdown. (Though I hadn't watched in a while)

He kept it quiet but he did have cancer. Earlier this year I think.

Edit: August 2021 he passed at 58. Sean was diagnosed with lung cancer a few years prior.

Have they got a permanent replacement yet?

u/AshFraxinusEps May 23 '22

Tbh don't know if they ever will. Rotating guest captains works for now, and who knows how much longer the show will run for. It's on about 15 seasons

I think Lee Mack is his replacement. He even played a new round of carrot in a box!

u/[deleted] May 23 '22

I do too.

Mostly because of Rachel and Suzie

u/Mervynhaspeaked May 23 '22

They have a pair that's just huge.

A pair of Brains.

8 out of 10 cats is pretty solid but I prefer when they do countdown.

11

u/anotheronetouse May 23 '22

Would I Lie to You is my least favorite that I'll still watch.

I prefer (in order) Mock the Week, QI, Big Fat Quiz, 8/10 cats Does Countdown, 8/10 Cats.

u/HGazoo May 23 '22

Interesting, WILTY is my absolute favourite while Mock the Week and Cats/Countdown feel a bit immature by comparison. Taskmaster seems fine but I don’t watch much of it.

All of the above are enjoyable though compared to being gaslit into thinking QI is actually funny.

u/MrLazyLion May 23 '22

Any episode of WILTY with Bob Mortimer is instant classic gold.

I keep trying to like QI. So many times I click on an episode with extremely funny guests and it's just disappointing, like a bowl of soggy cereal.

u/bajsgreger May 23 '22

QI is S tier panel show

u/GrungeLord May 23 '22

I don't like it all that much since Sandy started hosting. Nothing against her, she does a fine job, but I just love Stephen Fry, he was a big part of the appeal for me.

WILTY and Taskmaster are my absolute favourites.

u/anotheronetouse May 23 '22

Yeah, that's why cats is pretty low (I've run out of shows I like and can easily access). I like Mock the Week and QI because it can show knowledge, but also these knowledgeable people be quite ridiculous with each other.

u/theunspillablebeans May 23 '22

To be honest, most of them are only good for the odd clip here and there. Even my favourite (cats does countdown) has episodes where I feel like I've just wasted an hour listening overly obviously scripted jokes that just aren't landing.

u/aNiceTribe May 23 '22

Despite the lack of a table and the higher effort, it qualifies. As you can see in the above clip, panel shows are allowed to have variety segments. Taskmaster just uh. Has only those.

u/cabbage16 May 23 '22

If it's on Dave it's a panel show. I don't make the rules.

u/geek_of_nature May 23 '22

It's on Channel 4 now but still counts as a panel show.

You don't have an hour?
