8 Out of 10 Cats: Claws Out DVD Review
Deadpan comic Jimmy Carr asks two teams to identify contemporary hot topics and link stats to facts, but this is all a playground for the guests and Carr alike. Perhaps the best feature of this show is the choice of captains: Sean Lock of TV Heaven, Telly Hell and Dave Spikey of Phoenix Nights. Dave makes for a good smart take on the discussion while Sean can be relied upon to offer more risqué humour. It is this trio that ensure the guests are never safe and have made it a ratings winner.
Mike Barnard, Future Movies, 15th November 20068 Out of 10 Cats is more or less a complete rip off of HIGNFY, only with less intelligent contestants. In yet another unsuitable vehicle for Jimmy Carr, only the sharp wit of Sean Lock saves the show from oblivion, Dave Spikey's style of humour not really suiting the format.
