Press
Not a strong return for the comedy panel game which normally scores eight out of ten when it comes to funny bits. More like a four this week.
The Custard TV, 14th June 2008Jimmy Carr returns with the sixth - yes, sixth - series of this consistently funny panel game, sitting smugly between the announcement of who's getting kicked out of the Big Brother house and the first evictee's chat with Davina.
Comedians Sean Lock and Jason Manford are still in the team captains' chairs and tonight they'll be joined by repeat guests (also known as show stalkers) Vic Reeves and David Walliams, who have appeared more than 10 times between them.
Jane Simon, The Mirror, 13th June 2008Back tonight on Channel 4 we've got the consistently brilliant 8 Out Of 10 Cats, the comedy panel game hosted by Jimmy Carr.
Mike Ward, Daily Star, 13th June 2008The inessential comedy panel show returns for an astonishing sixth series, with Jimmy Carr again marshalling six comedians as they recite jokes based on surveys and statistics. Returning as team captains are Sean Lock, generally the best spontaneous contributor by far, and Peter Kay-ish Manchester comic Jason Manford.
It's all a bit stilted and choppily edited, but it can attract decent guests (Vic Reeves and Griff Rhys Jones were on last year - David Walliams appears tonight) and will do well in the ratings.
