Revision as of 07:07, 15 January 2021

Episode Cats130 was broadcast on 14 January 2021, as part of 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown Series 21.

Johnny Vegas and Sean Lock played Katherine Ryan and Joe Lycett, with Katherine Ryan and Joe Lycett winning 42 – 33. The Dictionary Corner guest was Christopher Bliss, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

Disclaimers on the Channel 4 website and the subtitles at the very start of the show clarified that this episode was filmed before the COVID-19 pandemic, meaning it was most likely intended for 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown Series 20, but rationed across both series.

NOTE: Ryan was allowed to change her declaration in round four, having initially declared 930. In a rare error, she was only awarded five points for being five away, rather than the customary seven.

NOTE: Round 5 was a "tension round", meaning it was worth double points.

NOTE: Vegas declared 7 in round six. Dent disallowed the word anyway as it is not in the dictionary: the apparent misdeclaration was not noted.

NOTE: After Lock buzzed with the correct conundrum answer, the final light was lit on the clock: hence, the time here is reflected as 30 seconds.
