Season 17
Synopsis
Watch 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown (2013) Season 17 online on iFILM — six episodes of British panel comedy wrapped around the Countdown quiz, with Jimmy Carr back behind the desk.
The fixtures stay put: Sean Lock captaining one team, Susie Dent guarding the words in Dictionary Corner. Everyone around them rotates. Johnny Vegas and Lou Sanders kick off the run against Alan Carr; later weeks bring in Claudia Winkleman, David Mitchell, Aisling Bea, Michelle Wolf and Rob Beckett, and Richard Ayoade takes a turn as guest captain. One person genuinely works the anagrams and the numbers game. The rest treat each round as raw material for stand-up.
It's a short season, but the comic line-up is dense. You're not here for the scoreboard — you're here for the way Lock and the guests bury the host in jokes. All six episodes of Season 17 stream on iFILM.
