Episode Cats42

From Countdown

Episode Cats42, billed as 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown Series 7, Episode 9 was a special episode broadcast on 10 July 2015, as part of 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown Series 7.

8 Out of 10 Cats regular Sean Lock and Acting Team Captain Joe Wilkinson were the contestants, along with Seann Walsh and Danny Dyer who were their teammates, while Jimmy Carr reprised his role as the host.

Just before Round 5, a pub quiz hosted by Kym Marsh took place between "Two Seans of Fun" (Seann and Sean) and "Countdown Double R Bastards" (Joe and Danny). The quiz was won by Seann and Sean with the score at 3 – 1, so as their prize, they had the assistance of Series 71 runner-up Antoinette Ryan for the remainder of the show.

The match saw Sean Lock, with the assistance of Seann Walsh and Antoinette Ryan, winning by 47 – 29 in a 7-rounder and they won a Countdown leg waxing kit.

Rachel Riley was, as ever, the arithmetician. The Dictionary Corner guest was Bill Bailey, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

NOTE 1: In this version, all three players' declarations were allowed, although points were only awarded for the best answer.

NOTE 2: Even though Antoinette could be clearly seen buzzing in at the four second mark during the conundrum, after the reveal the clock was shown to be at the 11 second mark, indicating the original take afterwards was cut.
