8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown Series 9, Episode 7 was a special episode broadcast on 1 October 2016, as part of 8 out of 10 Cats Mash-ups Series 9.
8 Out of 10 Cats regular Sean Lock was a contestant, along with Miles Jupp who were against acting team captain Lee Mack and Catherine Tate, while Jimmy Carr reprised his role as the host.
The match saw Sean Lock, with the assistance of Miles Jupp, winning by 41 – 31 in an 7-rounder.
Rachel Riley was the arithmetician for this episode. The Dictionary Corner guest was John Cooper Clarke, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
In Round 2, although Miles Jupp got the same answer as Sean Lock, he was not asked to show his solution.
Interestingly, the selection in Round 3 coincidentally came out with the seven letter word "VINEGAR", which both Sean and Lee used to their advantage to get the points.
It is also notable in Round 4, CECIL came up with the lowest possible target on the current set which was 101.
In the conundrum round, Lee Mack inserted a banana into the clock needle in what was probably seen as an attempt to stop the clock. Also, although Sean Lock buzzed just before the clock ended, he was not able to give any answer. Instead, Lee Mack unravelled it correctly and gave the answer, thus both timings are reflected to be the same.
There was a bonus round in which both teams had to compose a poem for John Cooper Clarke to hear and he would choose whichever team had the better one in between the second Teaser and Round 5; 5 points were awarded to Sean's team for having the better poem in John's opinion.
NOTE: Brian Belo, winner of Celebrity Big Brother Series 8, made a special appearance on the show.
NOTE: In this version, both players' declarations were allowed, although points were only awarded for the best answer.
