Episode Cats28
Episode Cats28, billed as 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown Series 6, Episode 1 was a special episode broadcast on 9 January 2015, as part of 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown Series 6.
8 Out of 10 Cats regulars Sean Lock and Jon Richardson were the contestants, along with David Mitchell and Katherine Ryan who were their teammates, while Jimmy Carr reprised his role as the host.
The match saw Jon Richardson, with the assistance of Katherine Ryan, winning by 31 – 22 in an 8-rounder and Jon specifically won one hour's worth of time alone with a puppy.
Rachel Riley was, as ever, the arithmetician, and Joe Wilkinson "helped" her out from round 5 onwards. The Dictionary Corner guest was David O'Doherty, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
NOTE 1: In this version, both players' declarations were allowed, although points were only awarded for the best answer.
NOTE 2: The winning prize was special in this episode as not only were there two separate prizes, it was only meant for the team captains and only one could be won. Had Sean won, the prize would have been a six-pack of canned beer.
