Episode Cats62, billed as 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown Series 10, Episode 2 was a special episode broadcast on 12 August 2016, as part of 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown Series 10.

8 Out of 10 Cats regulars Sean Lock and Jon Richardson were the contestants, along with Roisin Conaty and Nish Kumar who were their teammates, while Jimmy Carr reprised his role as the host.

The match saw Jon Richardson, with the assistance of Nish Kumar, winning by 32 – 22 in an 7-rounder and they won a Countdown ice-cream bike.

Rachel Riley was, as ever, the arithmetician. The Dictionary Corner guest was Adam Buxton, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent. "Mr. Motivator" Derrick Evans and Martin Offiah, a famous fitness figure on GMTV and a rubgy player respectively, both appeared during the 30 seconds in Round 3 when trying to remove a sword from a rock.

Interesting and notable moments from the episode are listed below:

1) During the Introduction, inspired by the lighting of the cauldron during the opening ceremony of the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro a week earlier, Jon asked the studio lights be dimmed and using a candle, lit up a wax stick within a paving slab, which when burned out he admitted it looked like a turd.

2) During the 30 seconds in Round 1, six men who were dressed as German dancers danced in the centre of the studio with bells attached to their legs while two others stood near Rachel and played the violin. Annoyed, Jimmy chased them away using the foam from a fire extinguisher at the end.

3) Just before the first teaser, after Adam read out comments with glaring spelling errors from David Bowie's music video of the song Let's Dance, he proceeded to dance in the centre of the studio with that song playing in the background while constantly "touching" his private parts.

4) In Round 3, even though Roisin was not playing, she had a seven-letter word which was VERSION. However, it was still beaten by Nish's declaration of AVERSION.

5) In Round 5, despite Roisin misdeclaring she had a five-letter word when it was actually six, points were still awarded to her team.

6) During the 30 seconds in Round 6, Jimmy made fruit cocktails for all the celebrities as it was "the end of the show" and were delivered to them by the models.

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