8 out of ten cats cast

The show follows the game of Countdown , but presented in a comedic panel show format seen on 8 Out of 10 Cats , with the show being a crossover of the two. During most of the run, the two teams had regular captains Jon Richardson and Sean Lock ; after Lock's death in his team has been led by a rotating series of guest captains while Richardson continues to be a regular captain except when scheduling conflicts prevent him from appearing. The formation of the crossover began as a series of specials, the first of which was broadcast on 2 January , when Channel 4 orchestrated a special "mash-up night", merging two shows to form a special edition of the pair, as part of its 30th-anniversary celebrations. Amongst the programmes that were chosen to be merged for the evening of specials, production teams on Countdown and 8 Out of 10 Cats agreed to combine the two formats of their respective programmes — the crossover between the two formats meant that Countdown ' s arrangement of games would be interspersed with 8 Out of 10 Cats -style banter. Following the first special, Channel 4 ordered another crossover special for 24 August as part of Channel 4's "Funny Fortnight", featuring the same cast as before, along with the appearances of David O'Doherty and former Countdown contestant Clarke Carlisle. In April , a further two specials were ordered by the network, expanding on the merged formats but featuring the same cast, albeit with Lock unable to attend due to ill health and leading to Lee Mack standing in for him. On 9 July , owing to favourable ratings from the specials, Channel 4 announced its decision to commission a full series of six episodes of the crossover, [4] which was aired from July to September. On 13 July , Channel 4 aired a special edition of the crossover series as part of commemorations towards years of women's suffrage in the United Kingdom. As part of the special, all male members of the cast and crew were replaced, leaving the episode to feature an all-female cast — Katherine Ryan acted as host, while Roisin Conaty , Sara Pascoe , Jessica Hynes and Lolly Adefope participated as the contestants, with an appearance by Morgana Robinson as Natalie Cassidy. Each episode lasts one hour, including advertising breaks, although the January special lasted only 30 minutes. Since the first one-third of the programme is occupied in introducing the panel, and due to the comedy interspersed between and during rounds, the game does not consist of the standard 15 rounds. Carr asks each panelist if they have a 'mascot', and the panelist will then indulge in some prop comedy , usually showing off a ludicrous or impractical object and telling a humorous story. The first few specials had different numbers of rounds ranging from 7 to

Adding in some familiar faces from the original show like the Dictionary Corner's Susie Dent and the ever so beautiful Rachel Riley is a nice touch and gives it some familiarity for Countdown fans who may be initially alienated by this variation of it, and even if irritating at points, it can be quite entertaining to see how badly some celebrities are at the game.
