How can Nikki be in this year's 8 out of 10 cats big brother special, as she will be in the house, if it is live?

It isn't live, its recorded 2 days before I believe (the wednesday). --Mark PEA 23:01, 20 August 2006 (UTC)


I wonder who's won the most shows, Dave or Sean? Great show by the way.

[edit] Thought

Can someone write a little bit about bill oddie's two appearances on 8 out of 10 cats, especially the first, in which he was shown up to be one of the most ridiculous people ever. And mention that thing at the end where it showed everyone else on the show hiding their faces in their hands because he was so strange. Thedreamdied 22:36, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Coming back to it, I do not know. Thedreamdied 22:29, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Scoring

I have tagged the following with {{fact}}:

The points often do not add up right, but this is mainly because the show has to be edited to fit in its 25/30 minute slot.

Now, I noticed that the edition of 8 July 2005 was missing its entire "What Are You Talking About", given that between the recording on 6 July and its broadcast the list had become somewhat out of date (though this may have been more noticeable due to the six points or so having apparently appeared out of nowhere at the start), but as a more general statement?

[edit] 20 July episode

I wanted to ask everybody's opinion on adding a note about this week's episode of the series. As you know, the show is usually taped on Thursday night for transmission on Friday. However, this week's episode was taped on Saturday night, two days after the previous taping, as Jimmy Carr is performing at the Montreal Just for Laughs comedy festival in Montreal. Because of this, the first game, "What are People talking about this week?" was altered to become "What are Teens talking about?" . This was the only time up to now where the show is not taped on the usual day. I wanted to put a small note stating this fact but before I do anything, I was advised to see what others think about this move. Do you guys think it would notable to add a statement that this week's episode (July 20th) was taped 5 days earlier than usual??

If it can be sourced, then it might be useful. Also, I'd like to see it phrased so that it didn't take up half the section. Then again, the 'recorded on Thursdays' is also unsourced! The JPStalk to me 18:11, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
