Season 3
Synopsis
8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown Season 3 (2014) is up to watch online on iFILM — six editions in which the comics keep dismantling a once-prim words-and-numbers quiz while Jimmy Carr conducts the chaos from the host's desk.
The core holds steady. Sean Lock and Jon Richardson square off as rival captains, with no respect for the rules between them. What grows is the guest list. Across the run you get Kevin Bridges, Kathy Burke, Dara Ó Briain, Sharon Horgan, Jack Dee, James Corden and Josh Widdicombe. Susie Dent stays in Dictionary Corner, occasionally backed by Nick Helm or Peter Serafinowicz, while Rachel Riley handles the numbers board.
By its third year the show has settled into a rhythm: less format, more pure chat. One for people who tune in for the comedians, not the scoreline. Stream Season 3 online on iFILM.
