-'''Episode Cats133''', billed as '''8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown Series 21, Episode 4''' was a [[special episode]] broadcast on 4 February 2021, as part of [[8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown Series 21]]. This was also the first episode of the show to be filmed during the COVID-19 pandemic with many changes in place such as the lack of a studio audience, the installation of a plexiglass in Dictionary Corner, all players taking part in Rounds 3 and 4 and social distancing being enforced where each player sat two metres apart from each other. Because of this last point, each player had their own buzzer instead of one per team for the conundrum.
