Episode Cats54
8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown Series 8, Episode 3 was a special episode broadcast on 29 January 2016, as part of 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown Series 8.
8 Out of 10 Cats regulars Sean Lock and Jon Richardson were the contestants, along with Miles Jupp and Sara Pascoe who were their teammates, while Jimmy Carr reprised his role as the host.
The match saw Sean Lock, with the assistance of Miles Jupp, winning by 33 – 28 in an 7-rounder and they won a Countdown sunbed.
Rachel Riley was, as ever, the arithmetician. The Dictionary Corner guest was Sam Simmons, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
Interesting and notable moments from the episode are listed below:
1) During the Introduction, Sara wore a beret and a moustache to look like a Frenchmen. She would wear both props for the remainder of the show.
2) During the 30 seconds in Round 3, Jimmy "made" the Elizabeth Tower using matchsticks and when the clock signalled that time was up, Big Ben's bong was heard to much laughter from the audience.
3) During the 30 seconds in Round 6, a Pinata was brought down from the top of the studio in the centre, to which both Jimmy and Rachel whacked it and in it was confetti that would later be strewn across that same area.
NOTE 1: In this version, both players' declarations were allowed, although points were only awarded for the best answer.
NOTE 2: In the conundrum, both teams gave their answers after the clock stopped. However, Jon gave his response first before Miles did.
