Show Title: 8 Out of 10 Cats.
Format: Weekly, topical comedy panel show based around a huge series of opinion poll surveys carried out around Britain.
Host: Jimmy Carr.
Team Captains (Season 7 specific from synopsis): Sean Lock and Jason Manford.
Other Captains mentioned in general sources: Dave Spikey.
Broadcast History: Channel 4 (2005-2015), More4 (2016-2017), E4 (2017-2021).
Start Date: 3 June 2005.
End Date: 17 January 2021.
Problem: The provided sources do not contain information specific to "Season 7". They provide general information about the series as a whole.
Constraint Check: "If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess."
Challenge: I cannot write a 160-220 word summary of "Season 7's narrative arc" because the sources do not describe the narrative arc of Season 7. They only describe the show's general premise.
Challenge: I cannot write a primer about "previous lore, character positions, and stakes" for Season 7 because the sources do not provide history/lore/stakes specific to the transition into Season 7.
Since I am a "meticulous television and film archivist" and must "omit [details not in the provided material] rather than guess," I cannot fulfill the word count requirement for the overview if I strictly follow the "only verifiable facts" rule. If I write about the show in general, I can meet the word count, but the prompt asks for "this season's narrative arc".
However, the prompt asks for a summary of "this season'
