DOUBLE FEATURE | W/ Sean Lock, Jon Richardson, Holly Walsh & More! | 8 Out of 10 Cats

Quick Overview

The first segment of the "8 Out of 10 Cats" Double Feature episode features panelists discussing current news topics like Hurricane Sandy, Disney's acquisition of Lucasfilm, David Cameron's EU budget troubles, and Silvio Berlusconi's sentencing, while the second segment covers the US election results, Nadine Dorries entering "I'm a Celebrity," and the new Twilight film, with the final round focusing on signs of loneliness and the best parts of a British holiday.

Key Points: Host Jimmy Carr opened with statistics, noting that 48% of men in long-term relationships do not know their own clothes size, and only 2% of the Earth's population are natural redheads. The panel debated Hurricane Sandy, with Sean Lock noting the lack of coverage of the Lib Dem conference in American news compared to the hurricane's $55 billion damage estimate. The Disney/Lucasfilm acquisition was discussed, with John Richardson stating it prolongs the franchise because "nerds are just like, I just need it. I just need Oh, I just need one more space film where someone gets zapped." Discussion on David Cameron's EU budget fight included the suggestion that the UK should get a cow each and keep it on a roundabout to get something back from the EU payments. In the second half, the panel reacted to Barack Obama's re-election speech, with one panelist joking that if they were a Smurf watching, they would feel left out as Smurfs were not mentioned. Nadine Dorries entering 'I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here' was mocked, particularly her desire to discuss abortion on the show, which the panel thought ITV would edit out in favor of showing her with "a kangaroo's bollock hanging out." The final round concluded that only 46% of people describe themselves as risk-takers, and the best thing about a British holiday is the scenery/countryside.
