Episode Cats9
8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown Series 2, Episode 5 was a special episode broadcast on 13 September 2013, as part of 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown Series 2.
8 out of 10 Cats regular Jon Richardson and Acting Team Captain Lee Mack were the contestants, along with Bob Mortimer and Adam Hills who were their teammates, while Jimmy Carr reprised his role as the host.
The match saw Jon Richardson, with the assistance of Adam Hills, winning by 153 – 0 in a 9-rounder, with the size of the winning score achieved primarily due to the fact that the conundrum for this episode only was worth 100 points.
Rachel Riley was, as ever, the arithmetician, and Joe Wilkinson helped her out from round 5 onwards. The Dictionary Corner guest was Alex Horne & the Horne Section, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
There was also an appearance from Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards, who appeared as the front end of Joe's pantomime horse.
NOTE 1: This episode was the first to have bonus points incorporated into the game.
NOTE 2: In this version, both players' declarations were allowed, although points were only awarded for the best answer.
