Episode Cats47
Episode Cats47, billed as 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown Series 7, Episode 14 was a special episode broadcast on 14 August 2015, as part of 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown Series 7.
8 Out of 10 Cats regular Sean Lock and Acting Team Captain Joe Wilkinson were the contestants, along with Bill Bailey and Isy Suttie who were their teammates, while Jimmy Carr reprised his role as the host.
The match saw Joe Wilkinson, with the assistance of Isy Suttie, winning by 44 – 43 in an 8-rounder and they won a Countdown portable loo.
Rachel Riley was, as ever, the arithmetician. The Dictionary Corner guest was Joe Lycett, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
Interesting and notable moments from the episode are listed below:
1) In Round 2, Bill was not asked to prove he had the same solution as Isy. It can be assumed Sean's solution was identical.
2) This episode perhaps had one of the most famous anecdotes in the history of the show which involved Joe's Parking Ticket. Shortly after the episode was broadcast, the incident went viral on social media. [1]
3) In Round 4, Joe jacked up his seat to the point that he was close to the top of the clock and wore Rachel's high heels which he "stole" from the dressing room. After Rachel sarcastically said "well done" to him for adding the numbers up correctly, he went back down to the normal position in a deflated style.
4) In Round 6, Isy was not asked to show her solution, however it can be assumed it was identical to Joe's.
NOTE: In this version, both players' declarations were allowed, although points were only awarded for the best answer.
