Episode Cats36

From Countdown

Episode Cats36, billed as 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown Series 7, Episode 3 was a special episode broadcast on 22 May 2015, as part of 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown Series 7.

8 Out of 10 Cats regulars Sean Lock and Jon Richardson were the contestants, along with Rhod Gilbert and Sara Pascoe who were their teammates, while Jimmy Carr reprised his role as the host.

The match saw Jon Richardson, with the assistance of Sara Pascoe, winning by 34 – 23 in a 7-rounder and they won a Countdown bubble bath (with a complimentary cupboard and towel).

Rachel Riley was, as ever, the arithmetician, and Joey Essex assisted her for Rounds 5 and 6. The Dictionary Corner guest was Johnny Vegas, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

Johnny bought in an all-Welsh and all-boys Choir as part of his "mascot". However, they were not identified in the credits.

To confirm Joey was fit for the role of Rachel's assistance, Jimmy asked him four questions and he had 45 seconds to answer them, to which an extended version of the clock music was heard. He got three of them correct which was indicated by the Number on the bottom-right of the screen and was projected using CECIL's Display.

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