8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown Series 22

From Countdown

8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown Series 22 was a series of seven special episodes of 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown that began on 24 December 2021 with a Christmas special and ended on 11 February 2022 with a final and posthumous appearance of Team Captain Sean Lock who had passed away from lung cancer in mid-August 2021. This was the first series to be broadcast since his death as well, with an image of him on the show and an accompanying caption acknowledging this during the two episodes mentioned above.

All episodes were also recorded prior to Rachel Riley going on maternity leave to give birth to her second daughter (at the time of the Series airing, Dr Anne-Marie Imafidon was taking her place on the regular version of the show). A limited studio audience was also allowed to be present in compliance with social distancing guidelines at the time of filming, although they were not seen on-screen.
