Season 26
Synopsis
8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown (2013), Season 26 — five episodes you can watch online on iFILM. Same recipe as ever: Jimmy Carr fronts a parody that bolts a panel quiz onto the venerable letters-and-numbers game.
Richard Ayoade is the thread running through this batch, turning up in nearly every episode and quietly stealing the scoreboard's attention. Around him pass Katherine Ryan, Alan Carr, Tom Allen, Rosie Jones, Jonathan Ross and Sarah Millican. Dictionary Corner cycles through guest writers beside Susie Dent — Mr Swallow among them — while Rachel Riley assembles the number rounds at the board. Who actually wins barely registers.
Tonally it sits right next to the seasons on either side, though this guest mix bites a little harder. Stream 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown Season 26 online on iFILM.
