8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown Series 5, Episode 7 was a special episode broadcast on 13 February 2015, as part of 8 out of 10 Cats Mash-ups Series 5.
8 Out of 10 Cats regular Sean Lock and Sarah Millican (filling in for Jon Richardson) 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, Carr brought out Jen Steadman ("the greatest female contestant in the history of the show") and Roisin Conaty ("the worst female contestant in the history of the show") along to help the teams out, with Millican choosing to take Conaty, giving Steadman to Lock and Manford.
The match saw Sean Lock, with the assistance of Jason Manford and Jen Steadman, winning by 54 – 28 in an 8-rounder.
Rachel Riley was, as ever, the arithmetician. The Dictionary Corner guest was Bill Bailey, 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.
