    I just checked SRO Audiences and 8 Out Of Ten Cats is accepting applications for tickets so it must be coming back at some stage.

    Yeah, as I said above, they're looking for audience members at the moment. They don't have any dates yet but I'd imagine it will be the Autumn at some stage.

    I was wondering that myself actually. I love Cats Does Countdown, but I do miss the regular show.

    Very normal tbh.

    Cats On Countdown ain't great tonight - David Mitchell's too quiet, Phill Jupitus is terrible and Roisin Conaty is woeful too!

    Small Z, Snake, U-Bend, Cock And Balls etc.

    Once again, Joe Wilkinson brings the funny back!

    I was disappointed by David Mitchell ... in both his funniness and his Countdown skills!

    That was brutal, the Countdown thing has lost its way, they should kill it and try something else.

    Flogging a dead horse has never been so apt for a TV series.

    Bring back the regular show for Christ sake

    Joe Wilkinson is one of the best things about it. Why do they only bring him for the last 15 minutes?

    Cause most people can only handle him in small doses

    Very flat, even Jon is bringing things to keep himself occupied!

    Earlier in this thread I said Joe Wilkinson was the only thing I didn't like about the show, so it is an indication of how bad it is that now he is the funniest thing about it!

    Agree with poster above though, think he's much better in small doses on the show, when he was on the full thing he'd break the flow, but now that's a welcome interruption!

    Thought Joe was great in an otherwise dull affair, was hoping more from David Mitchell.

    I suppose it's dirt cheap to make and it still gets decent ratings. But it's sad to see them milking every last drop out of the show. The regulars look very bored .

    If they only had it as a one off at the end of every regular 8 out of 10 cats series, it would give the writers and performers a better chance to come up with better ideas for the series.

    Channel 4 used to be the station which took risks, had alternative programming and were always trying something new. This series proves that those days are long gone.
