8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown Series 7, Episode 13 was a special episode broadcast on 7 August 2015, as part of 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown Series 7.
8 Out of 10 Cats regular Sean Lock and Acting Team Captain Sarah Millican were the contestants, along with Liza Tarbuck and Romesh Ranganathan who were their teammates, while Jimmy Carr reprised his role as the host.
The match saw Sean Lock, with the assistance of Liza Tarbuck, winning by 42 – 18 in an 8-rounder and they won a Countdown wheelbarrow.
Rachel Riley was, as ever, the arithmetician. The Dictionary Corner guest was Phill Jupitus, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
Just before Round 4, Sarah introduced "Patty", a snake as she wanted luck, which unsurprisingly scared Romesh and caused him to stand up during the Round.
NOTE: In this version, both players' declarations were allowed, although points were only awarded for the best answer.
