Episode Cats33
Episode Cats33, billed as 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown Series 6, Episode 6 was a special episode broadcast on 13 February 2015, as part of 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown Series 6.
8 Out of 10 Cats regular Sean Lock and Acting Team Captain Sarah Millican were the contestants, along with Jason Manford and Jonathan Ross who were their teammates, while Jimmy Carr reprised his role as the host.
Just before Round 5, Jimmy brought out Jen Steadman ("the greatest female contestant in the history of the show" and a finalist from Series 69) and Roisin Conaty ("the worst female contestant in the history of the show") along to help the teams out, with Sarah choosing to take Roisin, giving Jen to Sean and Jason.
The match saw Sean Lock, with the assistance of Jason Manford and Jen Steadman, winning by 54 – 28 in an 8-rounder and they won a Countdown slide.
Rachel Riley was, as ever, the arithmetician. The Dictionary Corner guest was Bill Bailey, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
In Round 5, even though Jonathan's declaration of medias ☓ was invalid, it was overlooked by Dictionary Corner.
NOTE: In this version, all three players' declarations were allowed, although points were only awarded for the best answer.
