Channel 4 urged to rename comedy series 8 Out of 10 Cats (www.mirror.co.uk)

This is obviously just a marketing stunt, but...

Cat food brand WHISKAS® has launched a campaign challenging Channel 4 to update the name of its popular comedy show

Cat food manufacturer WHISKAS® has called on Channel 4 to rename its flagship comedy programme, 8 Out of 10 Cats. The show took its inspiration from the brand's legendary advertising slogan from its 1970s campaign which claimed "8 out of 10 cats" favoured the well-known feline food.

However, a new NielsonIQ survey of 300 cat owners shows the famous catchphrase needs updating, as nine out of 10 moggies now prefer its latest recipe.

Fronted by Jimmy Carr, 8 Out of 10 Cats ran from 2005 to 2021 and centred around statistics, surveys and opinion polls

Apparently they want them to rename a show that finished five years ago.

Having enjoyed breakout fame on Taskmaster and Last One Laughing, the subversive Australian comic has been handed the reins of his own very strange sitcom. Get ready for feet animations and a character called Super-Breast …
