8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown Series 9, Episode 5 was a special episode broadcast on 2 September 2016, as part of 8 out of 10 Cats Mash-ups Series 9.

8 Out of 10 Cats regular Jon Richardson was a contestant, along with Reginald D. Hunter who were against acting team captain Claudia Winkleman and Johnny Vegas, while Jimmy Carr reprised his role as the host.

The match saw Jon Richardson, with the assistance of Reginald D. Hunter, winning by 28 – 21 in an 7-rounder.

Rachel Riley was the arithmetician for this episode. The Dictionary Corner guest was Sara Pascoe, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

There was a bonus round called "Shooting Paintballs at my Penis and Testicles" in which both teams had to shoot at Joe Wilkinson's private parts using paintball guns in between the second Teaser and Round 5; 9 points were awarded to both teams for shooting at his private parts 9 times within 30 seconds each.

For Round 5, Joe Wilkinson acted as the clock and turned as if it were the actual clock. However, no music was accompanied by his acting.

This would be the first episode in a list of consecutive episodes that both Jon Richardson and Sean Lock would not appear simultaneously in a single episode, barring the Christmas 2016 Special until 8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown Series 10, Episode 4 broadcast on 4 February 2017.

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

NOTE: The intended answer for the conundrum, BOARDINGS, is not in fact valid in the most recent edition of the Oxford Dictionary Online; moreover, the scramble BADGROINS has two valid answers: ADSORBING and SIGNBOARD.
