The 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown S28 Christmas Special (renumbered as S29) was broadcast on December 24th 2025 on C4. This was one of the shows recorded on November 11th 2025 (here).
Unusual start to this show as Jimmy was given an “intro” and then came out onto an empty set and listed who was going to be on the show, before the Countdown music and graphics. Everyone walked out and then the show music kicked in and we were back to the usual round of insults and mascots.
Without giving too much away – Jimmy looked slightly petrified at being asked for a snog by Daisy.
