8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown Series 4, Episode 3 was a special episode broadcast on 19 September 2014, as part of 8 out of 10 Cats Mash-ups Series 4.
8 Out of 10 Cats regulars Jon Richardson and Sean Lock were the contestants, along with Jo Brand and Vic Reeves who were their teammates, while Jimmy Carr reprised his role as the host.
With Joe Wilkinson "away", he sent Series 53 octochamp Jon "Jono" O'Neill and Rob Beckett along to help the teams out from round 5 onwards, with Richardson choosing to take Beckett, giving "Jono" to Lock and Brand.
The match saw Sean Lock, with the assistance of Jo Brand and "Jono", winning by 52 – 24 in an 8-rounder.
Rachel Riley was, as ever, the arithmetician, and the Dictionary Corner guest was Adam Buxton, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
NOTE: In this version, both players' (from round 5, all 3 players') declarations were allowed, although points were only awarded for the best answer.
