'''''[[8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown]]'' Series 28''' was a series of five [[special episode]]s that began on 25 July 2025 and ended on 22 August 2025. These episodes followed a hiatus of the show in 2024, with filming having resumed earlier in 2025.  


[[Gerry Tynan]] played [[Dean Anderson]], with Gerry Tynan winning {{score|127|55}}. The [[Dictionary Corner]] guest was [[Janet Street-Porter]], and the [[lexicographer]] was [[Susie Dent]].
Starting with this Series, during the Introduction, the suffix "Guest" from Team Captains has been dropped. This could possibly be due to [[Jon Richardson]] joining the cast of ''{{w|Waterloo Road (TV series)|Waterloo Road}}'' in April 2025, indicating that he has less time to appear on the show and may no longer be considered a regular cast of the show moving forward.

Notably, the last episode was an anomaly, with it being recorded in 2023 and when Jon Richardson and [[Lucy Beaumont]] were still a couple.

8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown Series 28 was a series of five special episodes that began on 25 July 2025 and ended on 22 August 2025. These episodes followed a hiatus of the show in 2024, with filming having resumed earlier in 2025.

Starting with this Series, during the Introduction, the suffix "Guest" from Team Captains has been dropped. This could possibly be due to Jon Richardson joining the cast of Waterloo Road in April 2025, indicating that he has less time to appear on the show and may no longer be considered a regular cast of the show moving forward.

Notably, the last episode was an anomaly, with it being recorded in 2023 and when Jon Richardson and Lucy Beaumont were still a couple.
