8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown Series 9, Episode 14 was a special episode broadcast on 30 December 2016, as part of 8 out of 10 Cats Mash-ups Series 9. This was the 2016 End-of-Year special as well.
8 Out of 10 Cats regular Jon Richardson was a contestant, along with Richard Osman who were against acting team captain Johnny Vegas and Sara Pascoe, while Jimmy Carr reprised his role as the host.
The match saw Jon Richardson, with the assistance of Richard Osman, winning by 45 – 7 in an 7-rounder.
Rachel Riley was the arithmetician for this episode. The Dictionary Corner guest was David O'Doherty, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
Joe Wilkinson made a special appearance in the show dressed as a Magician, only for one of his acts to go "wrong" and resulted in the "drowning" of one of the models. He also assisted in placing the letters for Round 5 and 6.
There were many notable moments in this episode listed as belows:
In Round 1, the regular Countdown music was replaced with the Bee Gees "Stayin' Alive" soundtrack. This was repeated in Round 3 where a Hawaiian-style music replaced the regular music.
In Round 2, Jon Richardson was not asked to show his solution despite getting the same number as Richard Osman.
In Round 4, after Jon Richardson finished obtaining his solution, he amusingly went behind Sara Pascoe's back and made funny scenes, to which she was oblivious. Also, just as Johnny got his mascot up on the table which was a Lego figure, the left arm detached off much to his disbelief.
In Round 6, Joe Wilkinson was notably swearing continously for failing to correctly guess what letter he pulled out for the selection.
Finally, the Conundrum spelt out Richard Osman's show that he presents on BBC One, "POINTLESS", which was so much of a slap to his face as he did not know, that he embarrassingly said "PLOTLINES" as the answer.
In between the second teaser and Round 5, as Johnny Vegas predicted the one of the show's model would not escape the bag, 1 point was awarded to their team for guessing "correctly". Also, just before the Countdown Conundrum, Sara challenged that if she could catch a grape in her mouth by asking Johnny to throw one, they would get 40 points. However, they failed, thus no bonus points were awarded.
NOTE: The first Teaser's word is not in the Oxford Online Dictionary as it is considered hypenated.
NOTE: In this version, both players' declarations were allowed, although points were only awarded for the best answer.
