8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown Series 6, Episode 7 was a special episode broadcast on 26 July 2015, as part of 8 out of 10 Cats Mash-ups Series 6.
8 Out of 10 Cats regular Sean Lock and guest captain Sarah Millican (sitting in for Jon Richardson) were the contestants, along with Bob Mortimer and Katherine Ryan who were their teammates, while Jimmy Carr reprised his role as the host.
The match saw Sean Lock, with the assistance of Bob Mortimer, winning by 50 – 41 in a 8-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: Before round 5, as the "winner's prize" was some Countdown goalposts, Mortimer and Millican took part in a 30-second penalty shootout with Riley in goal. Each goal represented a point for their respective teams, thereby Mortimer scored 5 goals for 5 points and Millican scored 3 goals for 3 points.
