And 8 out of 10 cats is a comedy celebrity quiz show. The host and team captains from 8 out of 10 cats are on the "Spin off" version of countdown, which they named 8 out of 10 cats does countdown

Peter Serafinowicz is part of the team behind one of the most underrated British Comedy series of all time "Look Around You" which is very odd but very funny. The first series is a parody of thoae creaky old videos that were shown to British kids in High School when the teacher couldn't be bothered teaching (I'm not sure if the US had the same thing). 1970s production values and strange electronic music. It nails the feel of those shows perfectly and is brilliant fun to watch. The second series moves on to parody 1970s Science and Consumer shows more generally and is equally funny. Really really weird though.

To explain the strangeways joke. Strangeways is a prison in manchester on the border with Salford (Salford is a city within the borders of Manchester) and is used to house serious criminals from greater Manchester and the surrounding area. There was famously a riot there in 1990 where prisoners scaled the roof for 25 days. This led to widespread prison reform in the Uk

When he made the American Maths/Math joke there was an American comedian on the panel. A Geordie is a person from Newcastle or the North East of England (just below Scotland) which is where the comedian Sarah Milican is from. Strangeways is a prison in Manchester. He made a joke about that to a comedian from Manchester which I think you missed. Whenever Jimmy Carr makes jokes about a place or country there is someone on the panel from there. He mentions Rolf Harris when the Aussie comedian Adam Hill was on (who only has one leg, which Carr joked about), he was imprisoned for being a paedophile (Google him, it's a disgusting story).

"He mentions Rolf Harris when the Aussie comedian Adam Hill was on (who only has one leg, which Carr joked about), he was imprisoned for being a paedophile". I think we need clarity here...

Ironically, Rolf once recorded a song called "Jake The Peg" about a guy who had an extra leg!

The jokes about Geordies/Newcastle is based on the fact that for a long time the north east of England, and the north is general, is more likely to suffer from unemployment and poverty, hence the bailiffs, and being in jail. And Sarah is from that part of England. Jon Richardson is lovely but seen as nerdy, wearing cardigans , being a vegan and overwhelmed by OCD so naturally a target for a lot of jokes. Kwvin Bridges does a a great standup. Maybe find the one where he's standing at a bus stop. The person you asked about is Peter Szymon Serafinowicz , an English actor, comedian, director and screenwriter, best known for his roles as the title character in the 2016 live-action series of The Tick, Pete in Shaun of the Dead (2004) and as the voice of Darth Maul in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999). He has also appeared in many British and American comedy series, and received attention for political satire videos in which he dubs over videos of Donald Trump with various comedic voices. He has also directed music videos for acts such as Hot Chip.

8 out of 10 Cats is a kind of comedy, team, quiz show that was based around silly statistics kinda... If I remember correctly. Countdown was a competitive game show, where two people at a time will compete at two tasks. The first is making the longest words out of a selection of letters, while the second is using a selection of numbers to try to make a target number. Both of these have a 30 second timer or something, hence the name Countdown... Then, at the end of the show, they normally have a selection of letters that are an anagram of a long word, which the contestants will try to figure out before the other for a bunch of extra points... I think the winner normally gets to stay on for the next show, for a limited amount of times... Later on, the people who did best will play in the finals of the competition 8 out of 10 Cats does countdown, I think, was originally part of some sort of event, possibly for charity or something, where they combined the two as a joke.... Then it did well and they decided to do more... Something like that.
