From Countdown
Revision as of 20:56, 13 September 2020 by The Doctor (talk | contribs)

Episode Cats26, billed as 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown Series 5, Episode 3 was a special episode broadcast on 19 September 2014, as part of 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown Series 5.

8 Out of 10 Cats regulars Jon Richardson and Sean Lock were the contestants, along with Jo Brand and Vic Reeves who were their teammates, while Jimmy Carr reprised his role as the host.

With Joe Wilkinson still away "on holiday", he sent Series 53 octochamp and semi-finalist Jon "Jono" O'Neill and Rob Beckett to help the teams out from round 5 onwards, with Jon Richardson choosing to take Rob, giving "Jono" to Sean's team.

The match saw Sean Lock, with the assistance of Jo Brand and "Jono", winning by 52 – 24 in an 8-rounder and they won a Countdown drum set.

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

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