8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown Series 6, Episode 5 was a special episode broadcast on 5 June 2015, as part of 8 out of 10 Cats Mash-ups Series 6.

8 Out of 10 Cats regulars Sean Lock and Jon Richardson were the contestants, along with Miles Jupp and Greg Davies who were their teammates, while Jimmy Carr reprised his role as the host.

The match saw Jon Richardson, with the assistance of Greg Davies, winning by 47 – 23 in a 7-rounder.

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

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

NOTE: Richardson's offering of MONGER in round 6 shouldn't have been allowed, as it is only in the dictionary as a suffix, and not in its own right.
