Episode Cats103, billed as 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown Series 16, Episode 7 was a special episode broadcast on 24 August 2018, as part of 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown Series 16.

Regular Sean Lock and Acting Team Captain Joe Wilkinson were the contestants, along with Kevin Bridges and Victoria Coren Mitchell who were their teammates respectively, while Jimmy Carr reprised his role as the host.

The match saw Joe Wilkinson, with the assistance of Victoria Coren Mitchell, winning by 46 – 36 in an 7-rounder and they won a Countdown mircowave complimentary with a cooked chicken.

Rachel Riley was, as ever, the arithmetician. The Dictionary Corner guest was Adam Kay, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

Just before Round 5, the teams took part in "The Stupidest Quiz on Television" involving general trivia. Both teams were tied at 2 – 2, thus five points were awarded to both teams.

Interesting and notable moments from the episode are listed below:

1) During the Introduction, while Sean was playing with Kevin's doll, he unexpectedly broke the left leg off, to which the latter took it in his stride and much applause. Also, part of Ed Sheeran's song Galway Girl played in the background while Sean introduced his prop (a gong).

2) During the 30 seconds in Round 1, Jimmy was "tackled" by a wrestler and after several punches and kicks, the latter finished him off by "throwing" him across the table. To add further insult to injury, Sean knocked the gong shortly after that took place. (The wrestler was not credited.)

3) In Round 2, after Joe failed to obtain the target, Rachel purposely took out the "25", "8" and "7" to show how easy it was. However, after Joe incorrectly started off, she placed the numbers back, only to swap the position of the "8" and the "7". Also, as Sean did not declare his solution, it can be assumed it was identical to the one Rachel had in mind.

4) In Round 6, the clock music was replaced by swing dance music and three pairs of swing dancers went to the centre of the studio to perform, with the finale involving Jimmy tossing his hat into the audience.

NOTE 1: In this version, both players' declarations were allowed, although points were only awarded for the best answer.

NOTE 2: During the Conundrum, Sean buzzed in first when the last second of the clock lit up, only for him to blank out. However, as Joe thought he had the correct answer, Jimmy allowed his declaration. Thus, both timings are reflected as identical.
