    Amazing! :D

    Really enjoyed that tonight.
    I thought Jon was great tonight with his 9 letter words... :D

    Rachel was looking well tonight.

    Can't believe Jon didn't spot sexigonad as the 9 letter word!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,133 ✭✭✭Patty O Furniture


    Finally Sean Locke wins a show, Jon was trying too hard on the 9 letter shows.

    Daire was funny, 4G EE, nuff said ;)

    Loved the show- Sean Locke already said in an interview that he doesn't actually really like doing the show because Jon always wins so it's kind of pointless!

    I miss the normal show sometimes but either way it's always good craic.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,503 ✭✭✭✭Also Starring LeVar Burton


    It's back again tonight for another run of episodes.
    Christ if you're not paying attention to the Channel 4 schedule regularly you wouldn't know whether it was coming or going.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,077 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    ^ Yep, only reason I knew it was back was because '8 Out Of 10 Cats' was back for a new series on Monday, and Jimmy Carr mentioned it at the end.

    I was using the Sky+ app to record The Last Leg and I noticed it was on. Weird that it's so broken up.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,503 ✭✭✭✭Also Starring LeVar Burton


    It really is blink and you'll miss it.
    I don't really follow the regular 8 Out of 10 Cats anymore, although I used to back in it's early years - I probably should get into it again.

    I honestly think Sean Lock & Jon Richardson are two best team captains they've had.. so well worth checking out!

    It's just one of the shows that fell by the wayside a couple of years ago because of where I was living (didn't have a TV) and had been having problems with 4oD at the time. Might start watching the current season now that I've got access to Sky+ again.

    Caught up with this over the last few months, the regular show and countdown episodes. Joe Wilkinson is a great PA, some hilarious stuff!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,622 ✭✭✭Ruu


    I knew they were making digestives bigger.

    Gone off the blonde ever since I found out who she supported

    I would never get off her.

    I would still destroy it

    I am really enjoying the series although it is a bit annoying how Jon is deliberately messing up the word games to allow Sean to be competitive.

    Rachel really killed Jimmy in the last show when he was having a go saying at her saying what is the point in doing mathematics and she replied that it is good for doing sums and taxes!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 32,291 ✭✭✭✭Mars Bar


    I remember the episode they did right after Jimmy's tax fraud came out. It's the best episode of the whole series IMO. Jimmy takes it like a champ, to be fair to him.

    Either I'm in a ridiculously good mood this evening, or that was the best one yet.

    My face hurts from laughing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,077 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    The alternative 30-song second song was hilarious!

    Only downside is I'm a big fan of Peter Serafinowicz but 'abdicates' got old quick.

    Shame it's over now, for another few months anyways (presumably).

    Who knows, could be back in a few weeks.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,077 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    Hope so.. but seeing how the regular '8 Out Of 10 Cats' is back for a new series and Carr is starting his new tour in a new weeks - there's be less available time to film I'd say.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,963 ✭✭✭Meangadh


    Yeah Jon Richardson is also going on a pretty extensive UK and Ireland tour so won't be much filming done.

    I really want to know what that music was Sean had, was stuck in my head all day today! Hilarious!

    The show never fails to put a smile on my face.

    I have that on my sky+ box, its hilarious to watch when nothing else on, you could see straight away his demeanour when walking on & saying:

    'Welcome to 8 out of 10 Cats a show about opinion polls, surveys, statistics & this week, i'm guessing ME' :D
    It really is blink and you'll miss it.

    Season 12x01 is on Challenge tv Thurs@11pm, as current one is S17th
    Who knows, could be back in a few weeks.
    Aah, that's a shame, i liked those shows, especially Rachel's assistant Joe.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,066 ✭✭✭Sandwlch


    Joe.

    He doesnt contribute much but everyone loves a bit of eye candy.

    It sounded like a remix of "Whiskey in the Jar" to me. At least the opening of it anyway.
