Overview: The eighth series of the British comedy panel show 8 Out of 10 Cats features host Jimmy Carr presiding over the proceedings.

The central objective for the captains and their teams is to determine who possesses the most accurate knowledge regarding current events and what is happening in Britain today. As a topical show, the content is driven by the results of these surveys, which serve as the foundation for the comedic discussions and debates held during the episodes. This season continues the established tradition of using public opinion to fuel the panel's interactions. While the show has aired on various channels including Channel 4, More4, and E4 since its inception in 2005, this specific series focuses on the rivalry between Lock and Manford as they navigate the results of the national polls to see who is most in tune with the country.
