Ever since I saw Cats does Countdown I find the original is too tame. Also I'm hardly ever in at the time.

Still can't set the timer on your digi-box, then? 😁

Also what do you mean by too tame Chappers?
It's a numbers and words game, it works in it's own right.
Do you not watch Mastermind because it doesn't have Jimmy Carr's stuntman doing breakdancing between rounds?

I do like Cats does Countdown but it's a different show, Comedy with a bit of Countdown thrown in

Cats Does Countdown is a perfect combo and I can't think of any other quiz show that's crossed over to comedy like that. I'd like to see more crossovers like Cats Does The Chase with Johnny Vegas as the chaser or Monkey Mastermind hosted by Gareth Cheeseman. Ninja Warrior for retired RADA and LAMDA graduates. Put it out after the watershed and there's the exiting anticipation of severe injury or death.

I don't have time to watch TV all the time. It may surprise you but I do have (a bit of) a life.
