Revision as of 13:36, 21 February 2021

8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown Series 21 was a series of six special episodes of 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown that began on 14 January 2021 and ended on 18 February 2021. Recording resumed in December 2020 when Rachel Riley announced it on her Twitter feed. The first three episodes of the series were recorded prior to the pandemic, following which, many changes were enacted in order to comply with COVID-19 guidelines. This included the absence of a studio audience, the installation of a plexiglass in Dictionary Corner, social distancing being enforced where each player sat two metres apart from each other and having their own buzzer instead of one per team for the Conundrum. Cosmetic changes include all four players now compete in Rounds 3 and 4 rather than taking turns to face off one other player and the outro's tune was changed to the show's theme tune. However, the Conundrum still features a mechanical set rather than the digital one used on the normal, afternoon episodes since mid-August 2020.

Notably, the second and third episodes were transmitted out of order as it featured Rachel who was pregnant, suggesting that they were episodes that should have aired in 2020, but were withheld until now possibly due to several scenes which could have been deemed insensitive following the outbreak of the pandemic.
