It gets better when they have 2 celebs on each team.
a lot better
iconic, was the word you were looking for! RIP Sean
Years ago Channel 4 had a week where they "mashed" two of their shows together as a one off bit of fun. 8 out of 10 cats mashed with the game show Countdown, the staple of afternoons on channel 4. It worked so well that it has become a tv series all of it's own. Rachel and Suzy come from countdown, and Jimmy and all the other contestants come from out of 10 cats.
Its like cheerios mashed with Albran
it was for the 30th anniversary of the start of channel 4.
They took one of their current shows and mashed it with one of the channels first shows (which is also a current show)
I’ve never seen the first episode before. They quickly discovered the fun of just dicking around for half the show. Swear to God, on a typical episode they don’t play the first game until half way through the show. 🤣
"Dictionary Corner" is not a competing team, but basically Susie Dent saying whether the word counts, and making some observations about the meaning (she's a lexicographer). And Rachel Riley does the math (she's a graduate in mathematics, and is often good-heartedly mocked by Jimmy for wasting her talents on these shows).
The banter is in the much later episodes where you have 2 comedians on each side so 4 players and much more fun.
You can't add "96" and "34" as they were 4 different numbers 9,6,3 and 4. You can use UP TO the individual 6 numbers and can only use each number once either to multiply, divide, add or subtract. That "153" literally took 3 seconds but other mathematical targets can be very difficult or even impossible to do.
A bit of background: Contdown is one of the longest running shows on TV. There is humour but it's very dry, it's mostly about a simple, very succesful quiz format being taken seriously.
In 2012 Channel 4 celebrated it's anniversary by mashing up many of their TV shows. One the the results was this 'one off' show where the cast of 8 out of 10 Cats took over the Countdown set, format, and two of the regular cast (Susie and Rachel).
The result was so popular that instead of just one show, it is still running now, 12 years later.
Susie and Rachel are Geniuses in words and maths respectfully, so when contestants can't solve the numbers round, Rachel will show them how, and Susie usually finds the longest words, without the help of the dictionary - which is only there if the spelling or existance of a word is challenged.
I'd love to see you guys react to more of this show. It gets more and more ridiculous as the years go on.
You cannot stop the 30 second clock! That defeats the purpose of the exercise 😂
So weird, I didn't know there were only 2 contestants at the beginning. The chaos will pick up considerably when 2 more joins. 😆
Just as an added piece of interest, 8 out of 10 cats comes from a TV advert for Whiskas cat food, where the tag line was " 8 out of 10 owners who expressed a preference said their cats preferred it." Originally, the line was "8 out of 10 cats preferred it", but when the rules regarding the claims of ads were tightened up they had to add the bit about owners who expressed a preference bit. I used to work for the Independent Television Companies Association, clearing the adverts, so that's how I know!
The origianl line was "8 out of 10 owners said their cat preferred it" - it always had "owners" in there.
I posted a link, but youtube ate it. The first advert to use it is @17:37 on the youtube vid eo titled "Whiskas Historical Ad Reel 1963 - 1995" - posted by "Kevin Chambers"
Other notes:
Susie and Rachel are part of the original Countdown crew.
Susie is an accomplished lexicographer and plays along with the contestant to fish out the best possible words in the letters round.
Rachel is a mathematician who can pretty much solve anything the randomizer generates based on the 6 numbers. So she's there to provide calculations for the solutions in case no one gets it.
Rachel isn't part of the original Countdown crew. She took over from Carol Voderman
She was on the original Countdown but she wasn't part of the original Countdown team.
@@obijon7441 I meant original as in right prior to the formation of 8oo10cdc
@@obijon7441 eh?
She’s also there to look nice in a little dress. 🥰
It gets even better as the series goes along.
It's the best mix of comedy and a game you can play at home.
there's a reason they only get 30 seconds per round ... and YES Suzy and Rachel are that good 😊
they are both assisted by the gallery and an ear piece...
@@lip-filler-looks-rank Source?
his ass obviously ... you will be struck hard to find someone in GB who can do better math then rachel xD who should help her when shes the best xD @@E_y_a_l
@@lip-filler-looks-rank Not true, my little incel.
That's a huge rabbit hole you've just gone down, but you will enjoy it.
None of us can do the maths, but to be honest that was an easy one, It's the fun of the game, I remember watching and playing these games with my daughter. Rachel Riley who does the numbers is a maths genius who works out the answer when we all struggle, Rachel and Susie are both experts and amazing in their chosen field.
Yes please keep doing this show and as a bonus you can join in with trying to solve the words and numbers rounds.
Ah you've begun a wonderful journey. This is one of my favourite shows ever produced please keep reacting to them. The show gets better and better
I would recommend you watch later episodes when they have celebrity guests on each team.
So glad to see this one come up, keep them coming. They get so much better too.
12:05 Susie isnt against the clock, she is in dictionary corner, she confirms that their words are real (i.e. in the dictionary otherwise they are not accepted) and suggests what other words could have been given after the clock has finished.
The game basically works as such:
There are 2 types of rounds, numbers and letters to start.
In the numbers round you select 2 types of 6 numbers, smaller or bigger and then a randomizer generates a number based on those 6 numbers and you can use DMAS to get it or as close to it as possible.
In the letters round you select 9 vowels or consonant and get points if your team has the longer word. It isnt neccesariky 9 letters always as it is contestant selected and wouldnt usually workout to a nine letter word every time.
The final round is the Conundrum which Jimmy talks about at the start which is a show provided scramble of letters which is known to make up a 9 letter word with certainty. The team to guess it correctly first wins.
The randomizer doesn't generate based on the chosen numbers , its completely random, sometimes the target cannot be achieved.
The origin of "eight out of ten cats" comes from a long running TV advert for cat food, "tests prove that 8 out of 10 cats prefer"(name of cat food)
Good explanation. Some things don't translate across the Atlantic (Never Mind the Buzzcocks, etc.)
@@danmayberry1185
Never mind the buzzcocks originates from a sex pistols album called "never mind the bollocks here's the sex pistols" and an 80s punk band called "the buzzcocks"
so they replaced "bollocks" with "buzzcocks" for the show title, STILL one of my all favourite TV shows.
Countdown is a 40 year old show and is quite an earnest/serious show. There's a host and 2 contestants who try to get the longest word or get closest to the number generated. The letters and numbers are actually random, so nobody knows if the number is actually possible or what the longest possible word is that can be made. That's where the two ladies, Susie and Rachel, come in. They both studied at Oxford (languages / maths and quantum physics) and are so good that, for instance, Rachel can confidently say whether the numbers are possible within the first second or two. I remember a couple of contestants who were better at that maths than her but this basically never happens. At the end of the show there's the conundrum. This is a 9 letter word that's been scrambled (so there's always an answer using all the letters).
Channel 4 makes Countdown but also the comedy show, 8 out of 10 cats. They thought the contrast of such a serious show with such a silly show, could be funny, and it was. They swapped the 2 contestants with 4 comedians. Each team is Sean Lock with a comedian and Jon Richardson with a comedian. Joe (the fat, hairy guy) is a random addition to the original format who acts like a joker to bring disarray to proceedings in general. He's a bit of a mess on screen, but has his "hot younger brother", Fabio who always comes on in almost nothing, like a stripper. He never speaks but Joe always explains he's dumb as a box of rocks but looks amazing.
So the framework is Countdown but the show allows the host and comedians to generally introduce anarchy to proceedings. Rachel is famous for being hot, as well as crazy clever. Her looks are obviously never brought up in Countdown but Jimmy Carr "sexually harasses" her throughout this show. He also tries his best to embarrass Susie who is normally so serious. Occasionally the contestants will try to embarrass them too, such as Sean Lock's infamous "that's a difficult w*nk" line.
Since anarchy is encouraged, the format of the show evolves a bit over time.
*challenging
More, more, more Cats do Countdown! Please.
The program evolved into a really entertaining show with teams of two.
These episodes get better and better, glad you guys are doing these shows
didn't take long for the pen and paper to come out; now you're playing countdown!
i love this show. the banter and chemistry in much better in the newer seasons... please do those :)
So glad you've eventually moved on to this show. It will keep you going for months, and it's so brilliant that you'd struggle to put the best moments into a 2-hour long compilation.
The original host of Countdown was a great fella called Richard Whiteley and once somebody claimed he was known as Twice Nightly Whitely and he quickly responded more like once yearly nearly, and as people are stating this came from a mash-up of highly contrasting TV shows and this one just worked so well they kept it, ones worth taking a look at are Sean Locke's best bits, Katherine Ryan getting the maths wrong and Jimmys most unnecessary joke ever
Yes! This is great news & you’ll love the comedic interactions. Fantastic show & reaction 👍👍👍
To be honest, 8 out of 10 Does Countdown is one of my favorite shows to watch, after QI.
It is great to watch a few full episodes to get the hang of it, but to laugh the hardest, there are many clips / montages / highlights to go through.
The best bits with Joe Wilkinson are awesome.
Or, if you manage to find a clip called "Rectum of the year" :)
Watching you both play countdown for the first time was hilarious. Must do part deux
One of the best videos i've seen from you guys, the interaction with you guys attempting the puzzles too was great.
Rachel is every nerds dream girl. Not only is she stunning, she's a true math genius with degrees from Oxford in Applied Math, Fluid Dynamics and Quantum Theory. When she walks in to a room the average IQ gets raised by several points. 😁
And what's more she is a United supporter, Manchester United.
Like with me, she still affects most old men's fluid dynamics. 🤤
I didn't know that about her. Thanks.
Horrible woman. Hard Right. Calls anyone critical of the Israeli government an antisemite, and slandered Jeremy Corbyn.
Super pleased you have started this journey!!😍🥰👍🇬🇧
No good at maths , no good at English , love comedy 😂
The original show of Countdown was on Channel 4 in the UK and had some funny moments it was much more serious, it ran for many years.
07:35 - I got ‘chickpea’
Susie in dictionary corner is an expert on words - Rachael is the mathematician that checks the numbers. Both there to check as they play
I do like this program, it can be very funny. The original Countdown is shown late afternoon and has been going for many years.
Susie Dent has actually written several books on the derivation of words.
4+2=6
6/6=1
50+1=51
51*3=153
In most cases there are multiple ways of solving it, but sometimes it's impossible. Rachel is a maths genius who usually solves even the trickier ones within seconds. Jimmy gives her a hard time when she has to bring out the pen and paper, "it's your only job, Rachel".
All the ones I have seen had two Teams. Very Good Reactions.
This was the original , I think for charity ,where they took the set , Susie and Rachael from the pensioners afternoon favourite and played it with Jimmy , Sean and John . It follows the rules a lot more than the anarchic show it has become with guest comedians making up teams . Rachael and Susie do both shows and its fun to see them straight laced on the daily Countdown and really joining in on this .
Incidentally Susie is a lexecographer who joined the show from the Oxford dictionary and Rachael is a Maths graduate .
This is a great TV show, that gets better the more series you get into. 👏🏻👏🏻
You can do all kinds of operations, but you have to use the numbers as is, you cannot mash 3 and 4 together for 34 or 43, you can only do like 3+4 or 4*3 etc.
laters they have 2 teams with 2 players then it gets rly good :) this was basicly a one off that was so nice they made a huge show out of it
I think that was one of the most easy numbers rounds I have seen. So for fun I tried it using all the numbers.
(50*4)-(9*6)-(3*2)=153
Suesy dent in dictionary corner is a genius
She's been on the real countdown for decades
Yas! The one most of us have been waiting for, nice! (still dig standard 8 our of 10 cats, but yep this is gold!)
Cheers guys!
Yes, Please do a part two
I love Cats Does Countdown, and watch it constantly, but this is actually the first time I've managed to see the first, original 'Mash-up' episode. All the full series' episodes are online on the original UK Channel's streaming service, but the two 'Mash-up's (which served as pilots) aren't on there, and I can't find them to watch on RUclips (the video you link to isn't available to watch in the UK). So, yes, please do the second half, so I can watch the rest of the episode!
Keep watching this show, it gets better every week
It gets better in later episodes. They have teams of three as opposed to just Sean vs Jon so lots more banter/jokes
Susie is a lexicographer.
Nick Hewer was an aide on the UK The apprentice to Alan Sugar.
Now, whereas I understand exactly what you said, I think Nick and Jodie might need a small essays worth of context before they'd have the faintest clue what you're talking about.
@@obijon7441 US had their own version of the apprentice, Donald Trump instead of Alan Sugar
Shaun lock the comedians comedian ❤ RIP 🙏 🕊.
Need to watch Joe's poem episode 😂😂😂😂
Captain Birdseye !!
Hooray 🎉🎉🎉 at last
10:14 Jimmy enjoying some twitching (bird watching for our US cousins)
Yeah love Ur reaction to this...plz do more!
Like scramble with 9 letters plus numbers round where you use to find a specific number
Little FYI for the schoolteachers. The numbers game was a really easy one. ---------- Just sayin'.
I think both of you would enjoy countdown! A British institution lol!
Hi great to see your getting into 8O10CDC however I really suggest you jump forward a few years to get the full benefit of the show. It took time for the format to really bed down. Alternatively there are some hilarious clips/compilations out there now you’ve got the gist of how the show works. I have subscribed on the basis that you might explore this further. Enjoy😂
Thanks for subscribing. The videos we post are always recorded 2-3 weeks prior so we have extra videos in the bank in case we get sick or busy to record one week. So with that in mind we have started to record a reaction to another episode in this season but after that we will jump to season 3.
Hey guys
The original presenter who no longer with us called Richard
There is a video where he got pranked
It’s so funny
Maybe watch a few more of these to work out the format but the prank one makes me chuckle
Yes I been waiting for this . About time 😂😂😂😂😂
Advance to Series 3, by which time they'd nailed the flow and format of the show.
I'm going to love watching these. Especially if they pause to try and solve them. The 30 seconds is way too fast for me too.
Thanks for your honesty. Appreciate the great comment.
Pausing the timer is .... a strategy 😂
part 2 please... there are only 151.5 episode left to go!!
Keep it coming plz love it
Yes! Do more of these please! 😁😁
Carrot in a box next please 🥕🎁😂
Keep going I am here for it 🥳🥳🥳🥳
It's a mash up because it's 2 shows combined in to one.
Nick Hewer was in our (Trump free & original) version of The Apprentice, hence the making sausages quip.
... and Susie's actual role is as umpire for the letters round. Like Scrabble, no proper nouns allowed & they have to be in the Oxford English Dictionary.
Jody looks a little like Susie Dent
Hi at last some Sean lock , your going to get lots of hour and viewers now . There’s hours of Sean lock compilations on 8
10 cats . You 2 being teachers this show will be up your street.the tiger who came for a pint and carrot in a box are hilarious
There are lots of clips of the show for the funniest bits
Sorry Jodi, you can't just put the 9 and 6 together and get 96, there has to be a function between them(add, subtract, multiply or divide).
Later episodes have more guests, great clips from Bob
It's ok Jodi, we can help with the maths... Another way would be 6-4=2... 2/2=1... 1+50=51... 51*3=153.
Suzy in dictionary corner is a lexicographer so when it comes to words she knows her stuff. Suzy is there to verify that word the 'contestants com up with are correct. Suzy also looks for words and in general will give them to the person sitting next to her to say them.
One of the most hilarious clips of 8 out of 10 cats does countdown is 'Catherine Tate on 8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown' very short but very funny.. Or if you want a longer clip look at 'Catherine Tate's Funniest Moments on 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown!'
Just to say, the maths one in this series was an easy one. Sorry. I know because i got it, lol. Good luck with future ones. But great show and you will love. Keep going. x
Jody was using the maths one wrong, she got confused. There were no 34 or 93. You can only use the numbers as you see them.
Yeah, if the selection has a 1 and a 2 you can't just squish them together to make 12.
I'm kinda surprised no contestant on the 8o10c version has tried to go the "937?, well there's a 9, a 3 and a 7" route for comic effect, if my memory serves me right, or else the opportunity hasn't come up.
Truth be told, Jody was a bit thick to think it might be an option.
@@Zardagbum Your memory betrays you, a number of comedians has done that joke, Lee Mack is one of them.
The woman in the Dictionary Corner named Suzie Dent is a pro when it comes to the words and the woman who is placing the letters and writing the maths equations is a maths pro and can do equations in her head really fast and studied Maths in Oxford (In the UK we say Maths instead of Math and NO it is NOT plural it is just how we say it)
Mathematics is plural.
I would suggest finishing this episode and then in future, doing some episodes in later season, like 10 onwards. It wasn't really in its stride in the early ones.
Yeah Jodi was frustrated
You don’t know it yet but you’re going to end up reacting to “carrot in a box”
Jimmy stole the dictionary joke from blackadder 3. Pausing it to work it out is cheating 😂
In the numbers game your not allowed to use the same number twice.
good show
Please do more and longer one please...x
Dictionary corner is just to tell them what they could have done. They are not competing. Just commentary and a bit if banter / comedy with whomever is the extra sitting with her in dictionary corner. She is an expert wordsmith and book writer all about words and language.
I think you needed to select a later episode when it got into its stride as a show. It is hilarious and this is not really going to show it at its glorious best. What you also need to know is that John is brilliant at the maths part, Rachel is an expert mathematician and Suzy is a linguist who has written many books on the topic of words.
I disagree. I think this provides the perfect introduction to the show's original format, without having to actually watch a 'vanilla' episode. It certainly mutates into something glorious further down the line but, as a jumping in point, it gives context.
It would be much better if this was a more recent episode. Nearly there.
Have you noticed that only half of the clock is used.
Try writing the letters on a pad each & then you won't miss when the camera pans away & it gets so much better when they have 2 teams
You should probably edit around the add breaks which are every 10-12 minutes. You also get a conundrum to work out also.
Amazing skills pausing to do the maths and these are teachers
Yes
The format changed a while ago and great fun. Have you watched Room 101 and Have I Got News For You?
No. Never heard of it. But we appreciate the suggestions. We are always looking for more content
