Episode Cats20
Episode Cats20, billed as 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown Series 4, Episode 4 was a special episode broadcast on 27 June 2014, as part of 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown Series 4.
8 Out of 10 Cats regulars Jon Richardson and Sean Lock were the contestants, along with Stephen Mangan and Jason Manford who were their teammates, while Jimmy Carr reprised his role as the host.
The match saw Jon Richardson, with the assistance of Jason Manford, winning by 40 – 36 in an 8-rounder and they won a Countdown duvet set consisting of Jimmy's face on the mattress cover and the rest of the main cast of the show on the pillow cover.
Rachel Riley was, as ever, the arithmetician, and Joe Wilkinson helped her out from round 5 onwards. The Dictionary Corner guest was Tim Key, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
NOTE 1: In this version, both players' declarations were allowed, although points were only awarded for the best answer.
NOTE 2: Dictionary Corner's offering of diestrus ☓ in Round 7 is invalid as it is the US spelling of DIOESTRUS.
