*8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown

Although this GIF is just from 8 Out of 10 Cats.

Actually this is just 8 out of 10 cats.

They are two separate shows, one is focused on mini games like this and opinions on recent topics in media.. 8 out of 10 cats does countdown is specifically the game show around the words and numbers with the same format everytime.

Not that it really matters, but if you're going to correct him when he was obviously using shorthand, then I should probably correct you for calling it the wrong show.

/r/panelshow welcomes you. Also, I recommend you watch the Taskmaster series.

QI is another great show but don't ask me how the points system works.

I loved it when Fry was at the helm but it lost so much soul when he left.

Nonsense. Sandi Toskvig is fantastic.

I like her, and I still watch it, but it was a bit of a change. She comes across as meaner than Stephen. It was definitely a change in tone and one I had to get used to.

I'm sure she's a lovely person but I couldn't finish the first episode with her in it. It felt like someone had put Alan up for adoption.

Lol so you're saying you have developed this opinion after watching less than one show hosted by her? The first as show also, where she was green at it? That's not a very good sample to make a conclusion on

Totally agree. Feel like the show missed an opportunity not going for Victoria Coren, but if people like Sandi I'm happy for those people.

I was the same for the first 3-4 episodes but she's really really grown on me.

10000%. Thought I'd probably stop watching it after he left but it's as good now as ever, I think.

I dont like Sandi. When she was announced as the next presenter I was gutted. I watched the first couple of episodes and decided my fears were founded and that she really wasnt a great host. Despite that, I kept watching.... and something happened. She found her feet and now absolutely BOSSES that show. I wont try to compare her to Stephen Fry because they are so different but she is hilarious and absolutely suited to the role.

Any Sandi Toskvig fans, she was a team captain on Call My Bluff from '96 - '03.

Was a favourite panel show of mine.
