8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown Series 6, Episode 6 was a special episode broadcast on 19 June 2015, as part of 8 out of 10 Cats Mash-ups Series 6.

8 Out of 10 Cats regular Sean Lock and guest captain Lee Mack (sitting in for Jon Richardson) were the contestants, along with Vic Reeves and Sara Pascoe who were their teammates, while Jimmy Carr reprised his role as the host.

The match saw Lee Mack, with the assistance of Sara Pascoe, winning by 28 – 26 in a 7-rounder.

Rachel Riley was, as ever, the arithmetician. The Dictionary Corner guest was Alex Horne and the Horne Section, 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: Pascoe's offering of POTTLE in round 5 should have been allowed, as it is in the dictionary. Thus, the correct score for the match should have been 34 – 22.
