At number 11 in my top 30 we have 8 Out of 10 Cats - a show about opion polls surveys and statistics. The show features recent news stories each week as well as having more generalised rounds. As with other shows in my list you often have to think about the answer as what you would expect to be the answer often turns out to be the exact opposite - highlighting the very nature of statistics in gathering information that often seems counter intuitive.
The show features comedy heavily and is perhaps a comedy show more so than a satire based show such as Have I Got News For You. Again the show takes the format of two teams, each with a resident captain and two guests that change each week. The two resident captains have been Sean Lock who has served the longest and is still part of the show and the opposing captain who has been Dave Spikey, then replaced by Jason Manford then replaced by Jon Richardson.
The videos I link are two comedy moments from the series, more videos can be found in abundance on youtube. You will have to view them on youtube however as embedding has been disabled.
