8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown: Best Bits is a name of special compilation episodes that airs as a replacement to regular games. The first two episodes were released as a remainder of 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown Series 20 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, while two more episodes were subsequently released in Series 24, notably featuring Sean Lock posthumously two years after his death.
