Season 28
Synopsis
8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, Season 28 is the Channel 4 comedy panel show you can watch online on iFILM — five episodes of Jimmy Carr running a deliberately silly take on the old words-and-numbers quiz.
The format stays put while the table turns over. Rachel Riley still works the numbers and Susie Dent still guards the dictionary, but the guest line-up rotates every week: Bob Mortimer, Tom Allen, Richard Ayoade, Kevin Bridges, Rob Brydon. Letters rounds and arithmetic become an excuse to riff, and a good gag beats a high score nearly every time. Dictionary Corner gets a fresh comedian each episode.
What makes this batch work is the contrast: a real quiz played by people refusing to take it seriously. If the last run landed for you, season 28 offers the same machine with a new crowd around it. Stream 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown Season 28 online on iFILM.
