8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown Series 7, Episode 2 was a special episode broadcast on 15 January 2016, as part of 8 out of 10 Cats Mash-ups Series 7.

8 Out of 10 Cats regulars Sean Lock and Jon Richardson were the contestants, along with Jason Manford and Roisin Conaty who were their teammates, while Jimmy Carr reprised his role as the host.

Just before round 5, a bonus acting round took place, and Manford & Lock's team won, so as their prize, they got a bonus 5 points.

The match saw Jon Richardson, with the assistance of Roisin Conaty, winning by 33 – 31 in an 7-rounder.

Rachel Riley was, as ever, the arithmetician. The Dictionary Corner guest was Sam Simmons, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

NOTE: In this version, both players' declarations were allowed, although points were only awarded for the best answer.
