8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown Series 18

< Previous | Next >

8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown Series 18 was a series of eight special episodes that began on 26 July 2019 and ended on 23 December 2019 with a Christmas special.

The first two episodes of this series were filmed in 2018 and oddly enough in Episode 2, all four players took part in Round 3 rather than the standard two for unknown reasons.

Episode 3 also commemorated Rachel Riley's tenth anniversary on Countdown, with a more extravagant celebration taking place compared to the daytime version in Episode 6987. Furthermore, Episode 7 was due to have been broadcast on 23 August 2019. However, due to unknown reasons, the air date was pushed back by a fortnight.
